In a warm, golden light that seems to last all day, Puglia’s coastline offers turquoise waters that rival those of the Caribbean, while its food is so good you’ll find it hard to ever say goodbye. A region where authentic charm meets understated luxury, Puglia is one of Italy’s most rustic yet breathtakingly beautiful locales, offering a refreshingly slower pace of life compared to more well-trodden Italian hotspots. We recommend wandering the whitewashed streets of Ostuni, the vibrant piazzas of Lecce, and the stunning cliffs of Polignano a Mare. Plus, Gallipoli, a vibrant town brimming with history.   

With our selection of holiday villas and unique trullo properties, traditional to the region, to rent in Puglia, you’ll find everything from traditional Salento farmhouses to more modern accommodation, complete with tennis courts and organic vegetable gardens, perfect for an indulgent yet down-to-earth retreat. Visit soon, while Puglia still retains its status as a hidden gem.
