I came across this elegant, converted 16th century palazzo recently while researching villas in Puglia for a client. If you haven't been there, it is the region known as the 'heel of Italy's boot' and increasingly sought-after for family holidays due to its Mediterranean climate, alluring beaches, food, culture and charm.
This particular villa is brilliant for those who prefer to be off the main tourist track, to slow down and to experience a bit of typical southern Italian life on holiday. Expect church bells, vespa buzz and siesta opening hours, with local shops, bars and restaurants within strolling distance.
With its arty style, pretty garden and 20 metre outdoor pool, the scene is set for relaxation. Convivial and spacious, it takes up to 14 guests in 4 double bedrooms and 2 triple bedrooms, as well as outside dining, a barbecue and a wood burning oven, so ideal for a family gathering.
Discreetly situated in a small town in Salento, the beach and summer buzz of Otranto is a 15-minute drive away or head to the Alimini lakes a bit further along the coast.
If you would like to find out more about this villa or others in Puglia, please contact me and I'll help you find one that is ideal for your group. Read more about the kind of places I can find you in my blog post: https://rachelsvillaholidays.com/top-villas-puglia-private-pool/
