One of the things I like to do - whilst enjoying the wet, windy weather of a British winter - is to dream about my next summer holiday to Puglia. The region is just a delight to visit any time of year, but the warm, sun-drenched weather, whitewashed buildings and sea water that is nearly bath temperature, really keeps me going as I sit under a pile of blankets here in the UK.
In the spirit of dreaming, I wanted to take a look at villas that represent the lap of luxury and the best accommodation that Puglia has to offer. An unmatched blend of natural beauty and refined living.
