Inside

accommodation at Secondo Amore is all on one floor and is organised extremely simply. To one end of the house is the original trullo section, home to two cosy interconnected living rooms, one with an alcove with day bed (perfect for supine pursuits) and one with comfortable sofas, a fireplace and TV. Both have glass doors accessing the outdoor areas and the latter leads through to the delightfully stylish kitchen-diner with its wall-length glass sliding doors accessing the outdoor dining area and gardens. A cleverly positioned skylight allows the Puglian sun to flood in, adding to the airy, bright feeling.

A small corridor and a couple of steps lead from the indoor dining area to the main sleeping quarters, comprising the main double with en-suite shower room and a further two bedrooms (a double and a double-twin) sharing a shower room. All bedrooms have French windows accessing the gardens. The accommodation is completed by a fourth bedroom (a double with en-suite shower room) in the dependence just a few steps away across the courtyard from the main house.

Secondo Amore has been designed to calm and charm. Stylish modern furnishings sit easily on the simple stone and wood background, and original wrought-iron artworks complement the angular simplicity and clutter-free nature of the design, resulting in an extremely attractive contemporary home.

Outside

the effortless style of the interiors extends to the outdoor living and dining areas of Secondo Amore. Although the gardens can be accessed from all rooms in the house, most comings and goings will probably be through the kitchen-diner's massive sliding glass doors. These lead out onto a decked area, punctuated by a pair of olive trees.

From here, five steps lead up to the shady outdoor dining area, which is also served by a barbecue and an original wood-fired pizza oven! Paths leads on from the dining area through the garden to the delightful pool, complete with a chicly-furnished shady gazebo.

Centuries-old olive trees populate the grounds, offering gently whispering shade and canopied avenues for relaxing, exploratory perambulations...
