Orchard Poetry: Apulia

Dating back to the 1600s, this beautiful home in Carpignano Salentino blends history and modern comforts in equal measure to create a blissfully tranquil stay. Retaining many of its original features, you’ll be charmed by the living area’s cathedral-style vaulted ceiling, the old stone fireplace in the kitchen, as well as the home’s stunning stone floors and picturesque garden. Its outdoor space is a vision of country living with a lawn dotted with fruit trees, plenty of shaded dining and reading nooks, a patio area beckoning sunny alfresco feasts and an outdoor shower to cool down after a spell on the sun loungers.

A dreamy night’s sleep comes easily in the elegant bedroom, while the en-suite provides a luxurious wake-up to any day.

What’s more, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing. History and culture enthusiasts can head to nearby Lecce (a twenty-five-minute drive) while sun-seekers will rejoice in the beaches within easy reach – Baia dei Turchi and Spiaggia Alimini both fifteen minutes away by car. You’re also a fifteen-minute drive from Otranto and its 11th-century cathedral and a fifty-minute drive from Brindisi.
