Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the Itria Valley, this Italian abode combines traditional Trulli with contemporary comforts. Comprising two self-contained buildings – each with a kitchen and lounge area – it’s a great choice for a group getaway (although at full capacity, three guests will be sleeping on sofa beds in the living areas). Lazy days can be spent lounging by the private pool, cooking up a feast on the barbecue, and dining alfresco. And when you’re ready to explore, the historic town of Cisternino, known for its picturesque old town and traditional whitewashed buildings, is just a ten-minute drive away.
