Exploring Puglia’s prettiest towns couldn’t be easier from this cluster of traditional trulli. You’re just minutes from Ceglie Messapica’s old town and restaurants, and a short drive from postcard-perfect spots like Ostuni and Locorotondo. The trulli might be simple inside, but the charm of their rustic stone walls, archways, and unique shape is undeniable. Outside is where the real magic happens, though – lazy afternoons by the pool, long lunches in the outdoor kitchen, and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out on the daybeds and soak up the southern sunshine.

Home truths
This home is made up of several traditional stone houses.
While not all the bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a barbecue outside. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking on the driveway.

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...
