Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the heart of Puglia’s picturesque countryside, this traditional trullo home is a unique base for a family holiday or as a retreat for a group of friends. The interior may be on the minimalist side but it’s hard not to fall under the spell of the whitewashed walls and conical ceilings. In addition to that, you’ll also enjoy a garden with a private swimming pool and an outdoor hot tub. For delicious family meals, gather in the alfresco dining area or head inside where a generous table also awaits. Bear in mind that a car is recommended here in order to explore the area and reach the nearby towns, which include Ostuni.

Local guide
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...
