Divided into three different buildings, this traditional Trullo offers a one-of-a-kind experience to a large family or group of friends looking to soak up a truly authentic Italian experience. From the moment you arrive here, you'll notice the blissfully sweet nuances of the Mediterranean fragranced air as fruit trees, grape vines, and olive groves bring life to the garden. With your own private swimming pool, grassy lawns and an abundance of fauna and flora – relaxing in the hammock, hanging tent swing or at the poolside lounge area couldn't be more serene. Inside the main house, you'll find ample space to keep the kids entertained with a ping pong table and SKY TV. Two of the bedrooms are situated in a separate annexe and feature their own kitchen and living room – a wonderful space for teenagers to have some independence in their own space should they please. Set in the countryside of Ceglie Messapica, a medieval village of gastronomic excellence, you'll be located just a twenty-minute drive away from the centre of Ostuni and even closer to the waterfront of the Adriatic Sea.

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...
