The Puglia/Molise region
Puglia or Apulia is in the heart of the South, an area cut off for centuries by history and geography from the rest of Italy. Its landscapes are un-spoilt, rocky and sun bleached, or smothered in vineyards an olive groves.
And.......of course there is the famous "Trulli".
The locals are friendly and welcoming, happy to help you in any way they can, many speak or understand English.
Puglia by far the most rewarding part of the South is also known as "Italy's best kept secret".
Discover it for yourself!

The property is not on a main road but in a country lane, it is ideally situated for those wishing to walk, cycle and explore. The roads are relatively flat (with the odd pot hole), downhill into town uphill on the way back! It is in an area where many Italians have their country home and spend most of their summer days. It is not commercial or "touristy" but typically Italian. You can eat and drink well locally at very reasonable prices. Children are welcomed in most places as long as escorted by responsible adults. It is quite normal for an Italian family to take the children out for a meal and a walk in the square late at night especially in the warm summer evenings.
The owners reside locally can offer assistance if required.
Further details
Parents must take the responsibility for the children and they must be supervised at all times especially when using the pool.
The pool is only available in the summer months. Please check with us prior to booking.
Conditions
Strictly no smoking in the villa or pool area, but permitted under the covered veranda.
