This villa is located close to one of the loveliest towns in Puglia, Ceglie Messapica. This small town is a gem in the heart of Salento (Italy's heel) and is the perfect base for exploring the nature and culture of Puglia. The white town of Ostuni, the breathtaking cliffs at Polignano al Mare and the crystal clear waters of San Pietro in Bevagna are all within easy driving distance of these trulli. The trulli themselves are traditional stone structures with a characteristic dome shape, dotted across the rolling landscape of southern Italy. At an hour’s drive from the property you will find Lecce, the sun-kissed Baroque capital of the South. Here you can spend the morning exploring the stunning cathedral, city center and ancient walls, before heading out to one of the lovely beaches that line this stretch of coastline.
