Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked two kilometres from Castellana Grotte's centre, you’ll find this cluster of renovated trulli nestled in the Puglian countryside. By nature of the buildings, some spaces within the home lack natural light, but it adds to the cosy atmosphere offered here. And to make the most of the Mediterranean climate, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors – with sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and a private pool, there’s no better place to be. When curiosity calls and it’s time to explore, you’re just a short distance from Grotte di Castellana, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare and Monopoli.

About Puglia
If you’re looking to slow down the pace of life for a few weeks, there are worse places than Puglia. This is Italy at its most Italian, with year-round good weather (though it can get hot in the summer) and an estimated 60 million olive trees. That’s a lot of groves to wander through.
