Some Ideas and Recommendations:

Trulli Houses

Trulli houses are unique - they are only found in a small area of Puglia called the Itria Valley, which has now been designated a World Heritage Site.

A stay in a trullo is an opportunity to really immerse yourself in the Italian culture and adopt a slow pace of life for a couple of weeks. Al fresco lunches washed down with a glass of local wine, afternoons on the beach and evenings sitting on your terrace, surrounded by olive groves – life doesn't get much better than this.

Situated on a rolling plateau, 400m above sea level, surrounded by lush countryside, with an abundance of olive, cherry, almond, pomegranate and a whole range of other fruit trees and also countless small vineyards - all splattered with groups of white washed, conical roofed trulli. The countryside is punctuated with pretty medieval towns with characterful historic centres full of interesting architecture, shops and family-run trattoria.

Whether you want a base from which to explore, you are interested in the architecture of the building, love the countryside or want to spend your days on the beach and evenings eating at wonderful restaurants or barbecuing on your terrace – they really do have something for everyone.
