Sleeping inside a traditional conical trullo, with countryside views stretching out from an elevated, fully fenced plot, is the kind of experience that's hard to replicate elsewhere in Italy. This villa in the Itria Valley keeps things simple in the best possible way – a salt pool terrace, a dedicated barbecue area for alfresco evenings, and a pine forest just steps away for shadier afternoons. Martina Franca's Baroque piazzas are a twenty-minute drive, and Alberobello's UNESCO-listed trulli are about forty-five minutes by car, making this a fine base for exploring the best of Puglia.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The pool is open from 1st May to 15th October. If you'd like it opened earlier or closed later, you'll need to agree this in advance – an additional fee may apply.
The pool area is monitored by two security cameras covering both the entrances and the pool itself – worth bearing in mind if privacy is important to you.
The en-suite shower is open to the bedroom so privacy is limited.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
You won't find a television here.
You'll need to contact the host at least two days before arrival to arrange check-in and confirm your travel details – check-in takes place at the home itself, so it's worth planning your arrival time carefully.
