PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: David and Victoria Beckham FINALLY jet off on a luxurious family holiday with the kids as they trade their Cotswolds lockdown bolthole for a private Italian farmhouse to lap up the sunshine in Puglia
The Beckhams have finally regained a semblance of their usual jet-set lifestyle by flying off to Puglia in Italy.
The family touched down in the Med last week and headed off to a private farmhouse on the coast, having been cooped up at their Cotswolds bolthole for the duration of the UK's lockdown.
David and Victoria were seen enjoying an array of activities on the first few days of their family getaway, with their children Romeo, Cruz, Harper and Brooklyn, as well as Brooklyn's new fiancee Nicola Peltz.
Having arrived in Italy on Monday, the group have been enjoying what the Southern-Italian region has to offer - known for its striking whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and miles of Mediterranean coastline.
David, 45, and Victoria, 46, were seen stepping out in swimwear for a day by the pool, brandishing beach towels.Victoria shielded her face from the sunshine in a black baseball cap and carried her phone, an i-Pad and headphones with her to keep herself busy.
They were joined by their family - Brooklyn, 21, future daughter-in-law Nicola, 26, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, nine.

The family have been staying in a farmhouse villa in Borgo Egnazia - a favourite spot for the rich and famous.
The castle-like, candle-lit village features a Michelin-starred restaurant, a championship golf course, two beach clubs with private beaches – one sandy, one pebbly – and a spa that bases its treatments on ancient Puglian rituals.
The Beckhams moved around the village using two golf buggies but were also seen heading to the beach on bicycles.
On Wednesday evening the entire brood dined together at La Frasca, a restaurant in Borgo Egnazia and on Thursday evening they participated in the Puglia in the square event - an evening party held in the central square of Borgo Egnazia
At this, the family sampled the Apulian specialties, such as mozzarella, focaccia, and smoked meats, as they enjoyed a band who serenaded them with traditional Italian songs.

On Friday morning the healthy clan hit the gym before enjoying a private lunch at the the villa.
They then hit the beach for the afternoon before the boys took part in an impromptu game of football.
David played barefoot in a team with his three sons against other guests of the farm.
This is not only the famous family's first jaunt abroad for months, it's somewhat of a celebration following the announcement that Brooklyn and Nicola are now engaged.
Location scouting? Puglia is apparently on their list of potential wedding venues, according to reports
Family: The pair later joined the rest of the Beckhams on a leisurely bike ride around the idyllic Italian countryside
To the pool: The couple headed for a day of sunshine by the water
He had been living with her in America during the pandemic, and they returned to the UK last month newly-betrothed.
This was the pair's first appearance since releasing snaps online following their engagement announcement.
They were spotted putting on an affectionate display on their Italian jaunt. Puglia is apparently on their list of potential wedding venues, according to reports.
It was recently reported that Posh Spice had taken the couple around a romantic Italian palazzo in the area and was reportedly overheard telling the bride-to be: 'It's your day, we want to make it special… so whatever you want.'
Romeo, Cruz and Harper also took the tour of the carefully landscaped grounds at the £135 million resort, which is modelled on a traditional Italian village.
The luxury hideaway is where Madonna spends her summers, famously celebrating her 59th birthday there in 2017, and it was also the venue for the wedding of Justin Timberlake and Hollywood actress Jessica Biel in 2012.
Weddings at the five-star resort can hold up to 400 guests and cost up to £3 million.
And Brooklyn and Nicola continued to take advantage of the local landscapes as they soaked up the sun during the summer getaway.
The couple kept it low-key as they walked arm in arm for a day trip out and about.
Brooklyn cut a casual figure in a white printed T-shirt, black shorts and trainers whilst Nicola opted for an equally dressed down look with a long-sleeved grey top, black cotton trousers and flip flops.
Nicola nailed summer chic in a floral halter-neck mini dress with Brooklyn sticking to a simple ensemble of a pastel pink T-shirt and shorts.
