Villa BrezzaItaly, Puglia

A gorgeous farmhouse conversion, you'll find beautifully restored rooms and suites which exude contemporary style, whilst not forgetting the period details. 

There are twelve rooms ranging from cosy to grand, and whilst they may vary in size, what you'll find in everyone is a fabulously comfy bed, oversized monsoon shower, fine Italian linens and spoiling organic olive oil based complimentary toiletries. The decor is subtle and chic; think neutral palettes brightened up with a colourful headboard here or a patterned cushion there. But the overall vibe is relaxed and stylish. For something special go for one of the spacious suites, each one has either a private balcony or terrace and a walk-in wet room.

For those who like a bit of activity, there's plenty on offer here too: there's a tennis court (which can also be used for basketball if that's more your thing) onsite, plus a large pool and terrace with an outdoor hot tub. Or you can borrow a bike and either head out to the nearest beach or explore the surrounding countryside at your leisure.
