Holidays to Vernola give you all the peace and quiet you could want, with countryside views and picturesque neighbouring towns to boot.
Seaside town
This small village in Italy's secluded south has got countryside views in spades. Wander to nearby towns to taste-test your way through traditional delicacies, or pop to the nature reserve and watch the sand dunes shift with the movements of migratory birds.
Daytrips to Lecce
It's 20 minutes by car to Lecce, the Baroque capital of Puglia. Along with its sandstone carvings, it's famous for the Baroque Basilica di Santa Croce. Flit in and out of shops selling traditional handicrafts, papier-mâché figures and artisan products before stopping for a frothy cappuccino.
Acaya Castle
Travel back to Renaissance times in Acaya, nicknamed the Fortified City. The highlight here's the 16th-century UNESCO-protected castle, complete with a moat and drawbridge. After swinging a club at the 18-hole golf course, seek out the spa for a steam in the Turkish bath.
