Iconic and eye catching, the trulli town of Alberobello is a mere 15 minute drive from Villa Vignale, which is also within easy reach of the local town of Noci (2km). This location allows you to easily visit the unique and fantastical world of the trulli, a world of tiny stone dwellings topped with conical roofs, as well as being able to pop into Noci, where white washed buildings line a maze of paved streets and piazzas, with a selection of cafes and restaurants for alfresco meals out.
More white washed towns, or ‘città bianche’, are dotted throughout the Valle d’Itria, each with their own character, all utterly charming. The coast is also within reach for a day out: we suggest heading to Polignano a Mare (30km) for its photogenic qualities, Monopoli (30km) for its fishing harbour and Savelletri (36km) for its laidback atmosphere. Linking the three seafront towns are an array of beaches, an opportunity to take a dip in the translucent waters of the Adriatic.
Villa Vignale itself is a neat and comfortable villa, decorated in calming neutral tones. An open plan living dining room leads to a kitchen at the rear, with two bedrooms and a bathroom completing the sleeping arrangements. The outdoor dining terrace connects to the pool area, set against a backdrop of olive trees, their silvery green leaves in harmony with the creamy white terrace and stone walls at Villa Vignale.
