5Trullo Gaura, Puglia

The iconic conical stone huts of Puglia are typically snug boltholes, but Trullo Gaura has cleverly combined all of the charms of a trullo with modern spacious living. The villa comprises two wings brought together by a central open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

The original exposed stone walls are showcased throughout, as are the manicured gardens via various courtyards, terraces and French windows. The sprawling layout lends itself to privacy too, with the bedrooms spread out on either side of the villa and beyond – one of the double bedrooms can only be accessed via the gardens.
