The Sun is Up

The Sun is Up: Apulia

Boasting beautiful views stretching far over a leafy landscape, this idyllic retreat invites you to enjoy all that the Apulian countryside has to offer. Beloved by architects for its fairytale trulli huts, the nearby town of Alberobello sits close by. Or, maybe you'll venture 1.5 kilometres to laidback Locorotondo, where the labyrinthine streets take you on a twisting journey to the Chiesa Rettoria Madonna della Greca.

Made characterful by its stone alcoves and wood beams, this atmospheric home is where you'll wake up under a traditional painting of cherubs each morning. Perhaps you'll fancy an alfresco breakfast beneath blue skies, and we can think of no better place to make plans than on the patio. With sunshine aplenty, how about socialising with your neighbours around this shared pool, swapping stories and recommendations for road trips? When it comes to ending the evening, just imagine rustling up a carefree barbecue and toasting a happy holiday with a glass of Italian wine.
