Warm, inviting, and rustic, this charming Italian villa lies nestled amidst rural fields on the outskirts of the ancient town of Monopoli in Puglia. Amble amongst the fragrant gardens or stretch out by the pool as you slumber to the sound of the cicadas. Enjoy leisurely afternoons in the charming patio area where the highlight of the afternoon involves a hammock and a good book. In the evenings, dine out in the bustling ancient fishing village of Monopoli or take a trip to one of the many beaches in the surrounding area. We particularly liked Cala Porta Vecchia. Both the town and beach are a ten-minute car journey away from the villa.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia. This is Italy at its most Italian, with year-round good weather (though it can get hot in the summer) and an estimated 60 million olive trees. That’s a lot of groves to wander through.
