Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Immerse yourself in the Apulian countryside and enjoy the views from this home’s garden and private swimming pool. There are three gazebos – the one on the main terrace has a lounge area, dining table and barbecue for alfresco dining. The house itself has been restored by local artisans and has plenty of the character features you’d expect from a trullo. You’ll be glad to know, we’re sure, that the team here are very helpful too. Located in the Valle D'Itria, this home’s location is ideal for exploring the countryside, while Alberobello and many other towns can be easily reached by car.
