This home is an excellent choice for those wanting to escape the crowds and really unwind. We love its setting in the Puglian countryside, surrounded by olive groves – yet it’s only 8 kilometres from Ostuni. There’s a main house and two independent trulli – the conical-roofed homes found in this part of Italy, which are ideal for those wanting a bit more space. The outside area is the star of the show, with a private swimming pool, shaded terraces for alfresco dining, and heaps of room.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Home truths
Well-behaved pets may be welcome to accompany you during your stay.
We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking here.
This home is comprised of the main house and two trulli, so you won’t all be sleeping under the same roof.
The swimming pool is open from May to October.
To reach the twin bedroom in trullo two, you must go through the double room so it’s not the most private.
There’s only wi-fi and air conditioning in the main house, not in the trulli.
Your host has arranged for three hours of cleaning three days a week.
Your host can provide a cot for little ones on request.

About Ostuni
You’ll probably spot Ostuni long before you reach the so-called White City of Puglia. It rises up on three hills, above the rust-red earth punctuated by olive trees. Shambling, narrow streets lead up the hillside to the crowning 12th-century Ostuni Cathedral. It’s a veritable labyrinth of ancient alleyways, where you can sample traditional Puglian fare like handmade orecchiette and oozing dollops of burrata in terrace restaurants, or taste a Salice...
