Review Submitted: 25 January 2011 Date of Stay: September 2010 This delightfully restored holiday property is absolutely brilliant. My wife and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the rear verandah you can see an incredible panoramic view all the way from the Adriatic Sea through hill top villages to the snow capped mountains east of Rome. Rapino is a brilliant example of the unspoiled Italy - far from the tourist traps.

Lord McAlpine forced to leave Italian home amid media frenzy

Photograph: Paul Cooper/Rex Features As reporters descended on his house in southern Italy, a frail-looking, hoarse Lord Alistair McAlpine loaded a suitcase into a car and, declining to answer questions, was driven away. The 70-year-old Tory grandee was forced to take refuge from what was meant to be his refuge – a stunning convent in Puglia that he converted into a plush bed and breakfast in 2003, before packing it with a collection of tribal masks, ethnic ceramics and antique wooden furniture. Long known as a collector of everything from books to textiles to police truncheons, McAlpine had settled in the heel of Italy amid olive groves and whitewashed villages as Puglia was beginning to catch the eye of discerning tourists put off by the overexposure and high prices of Tuscany.
