Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This beautiful trullo home gives you an authentic taste of southern Italy. It’s just outside of central Ceglie Messapica, within driving distance of Ostuni, and only 20 kilometres from pretty beaches. You may not want to explore too far, though, as this delightful home has everything you might need – though there are only two bedrooms, so with six guests, two will sleep in the living space. Spend your days swimming in the pool, sunbathing amid olive trees, and relaxing in the cool stone interior of the traditional trullo. As the sun sets, start cooking outside – is there anything better than dining under the stars?

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...
