If you’re looking for Puglian countryside isolation, then this striking villa will certainly hit the mark. Just 7 kilometres from the nearest town, Ceglie Messapica, this traditional ‘trullo’ is native to the south of the country. In essence, it means a round building made of stone, with cone-shaped roofs. In reality, it makes for a truly unique stay. After entering this impressive, almost otherworldly exterior, you’ll be just as taken aback by the gorgeous decor. While the furnishings and colour palette of the living space are both neutral and understated, this makes way for the most important element of this home – stone. Rustic, natural, and elegant, the artisan masonry is fully exposed for your admiration. We love the cosy nooks painted in warming terracotta – one for dining and another for bathing in the master bedroom. As for the other room, you’ll need to traverse your private grounds. Pass by the saltwater pool, mini waterfall, olive trees, deck chairs, barbecue, and a plush dining area before arriving at another building. It has a fortress-like appearance, again in a rich terracotta, where you can find yet more peace and serenity as you sip negronis in bed.
