Location
The Val d’Itria is famous for its olive oil and trulli, [small, conical houses only found in this part of Italy]. Many of Puglia’s most beautiful sites are within easy reach. Ostuni (30 minutes) is known as the White City. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the valley it is a charming spot. Explore the narrow medieval streets or the famous cathedral which combines many different architectural styles. Don’t miss the bustling weekly market (Saturday morning) where you can pick the best local ingredients, from around the region.

Martina Franca (25 minutes) is a stunning combination of simple whitewashed local houses, palaces and magnificent Baroque architecture. The town Alberobello (50 minutes) looks like something from a fairytale and is a must-see. It is a town of trulli and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For more sporty guests, the house is on the Val d’Itria cycle route which runs the length of the valley along the route of an ancient aqueduct. Local tours can be arranged for a day exploring the countryside.

For guests keen to get to the coast, some of the most striking beaches on Puglia’s Adriatic coast and on the Ionian Sea are only 40 minutes away.

The closest airport is Salento Airport in Brindisi, a 40-minute drive from the house. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2025 to the 31st of October 2025
