At first glance this home may look like just another beautiful holiday villa but upon closer look, you’ll discover that parts of this unique building date way back in time – hence the impressive stone walls and wood beams on the ceilings. Immerse yourself in all its timeless glory and enjoy a truly restful family holiday in the heart of Puglia’s coastal region. Arrive to be greeted by a welcoming exterior and a glistening private pool, set amidst a vast garden. Out here you’ll be able to lounge about on the comfy sun beds and enjoy carefree afternoons, catching up on your holiday reads and working on your tan. As the sun begins to set gather everyone on the patio for some cool drinks and a barbecue feast. The interior invites you in with its cosy ambience and plenty of snuggly sofa space where you can kick off your shoes and enjoy movie evenings in the company of your loved ones. Should a chillier evening catch up by surprise, there’s a charming period fireplace for added warmth. Head over to the plush bedrooms lined with those beautiful stone walls for some quality sleep – the children will love the comfy bunk beds too. Wake up bright-eyed and ready for exploring the surrounding area. With miles of sandy beaches and idyllic countryside there is plenty of outdoor activities to be enjoyed by the whole family – and for a taste of some of that delicious Italian cuisine head over to the excellent restaurants of Torre Suda.
