A former farmer's house, this villa is now a contemporary getaway near Puglia's coast. Despite its modern upgrades, it hasn't lost any of its character. In fact, two guests will have the luxury of sleeping in the traditional trullo – ideal for those wanting their own space. Each bedroom leads onto a terrace and offers views of the surrounding woodlands or the sea. You can spend your afternoons relaxing in the private pool and evenings dining alfresco on the terrace. There's no shortage of spots to relax with a glass of wine, either – and the Adriatic views are the icing on the cake. Location-wise, you'll find Monopoli and Polignano a Mare less than a twenty-minute drive away.
