Nestled in a serene landscape of ancient olive trees, this home offers an authentically luxurious experience staying in traditional trulli. The private pool is surrounded by sun loungers, while the outdoor kitchen has space for alfresco dining. You won't have air conditioning here so it might get rather warm, but the fantastic location means there's plenty of peace and quiet while being conveniently close to town. We do recommend having a car here to make the most of your stay, though – the beaches of Monopoli are an easy drive away, and Polignano a Mare and Alberobello are wonderful for family day trips.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia.
