Experience serenity and history at this unique home in the Apulian countryside. Sitting on a 13,000 square-metre plot bordered by old stone walls and dotted with centuries-old olive and fruit trees, the Saracen trullo boasts next-level peace and quiet. This whitewashed home is brimming with character. Split your time between the tranquil patio and the historic interiors, which have been tastefully decorated with modern travellers in mind and fitted with all the necessities. The predominantly white colour scheme contributes to the sense of calm throughout the charming abode.
