Alabaster Sky

Alabaster Sky: Apulia

Nestled in charming Carovigno, this modern villa is the perfect place to get away from it all. Bright, tranquil and with views of the sparkling Adriatic Sea, you couldn't ask for a better place to call home. Whitewashed walls and glossy flooring inside are the definitions of minimal design, and every room is filled with light and features a sleek, pared-back style. Days here are spent lounging by the saltwater infinity pool in the sunshine, sipping Aperol Spritzes and nibbling on fresh olives and mozzarella. Come evening, you'll have a front-row seat for spectacular sunsets on the terrace, and with an outdoor dining table, you can tuck into alfresco feasts under the stars.

When you fancy a change of scenery, Ostuni is only a fifteen-minute drive away – it's an excellent option for a day trip. If it's the sea you crave, a bevvy of waterfront restaurants and sandy beaches up and down the coast are ten minutes by car, including Spiaggia Mezzaluna, Spiaggia di Morgicchio and Spiaggia dei Camerini. Best of all, you'll have access to a hospitality specialist who can help you arrange extra treats, from personal chefs and at-home massages to yoga lessons.
