With expansive grounds which lead out in to verdant Puglian countryside, Tenuta Marilù is the perfect place for a holiday with your nearest and dearest. Whether you wish to spend your days lazing by the pool or exploring the nearby coastline and historic villages, there is something for everyone here.

This elegantly decorated family home is made up of a historic Trullo building and a recently added annexe. Trulli are only found here in Italy’s heel and staying in this white washed dwelling with its cone shaped roof offers you a glimpse in to the history of the area when the farmers used these buildings during the summer months. Indoors, the accommodation is all on one floor; there is a spacious living room with a period fireplace and a gorgeous vaulted stone ceiling. Flowing around from the living room there is a fully-fitted kitchen with all of the appliances you could need and an indoor dining space.

Two double bedrooms with their own en-suite bathrooms are set within this centuries-old Trullo. The third bedroom is just next door in a modern annexe building which boasts a sitting area, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom. This bedroom has twin beds but these can be converted to a double if this is preferred.

There is plenty more space for your group to gather outside in the manicured garden which has lawned areas, established trees and fragrant planting. Out here you will find a vast freeform swimming pool which has a jacuzzi section where guests can unwind and take in the views of the stunning surrounding grounds and countryside. The roof terrace is the ideal spot for basking in the sun, while the covered outdoor sofas are great for when you wish to cool down on a hot afternoon.

The tree-filled private estate is a lovely place for an afternoon stroll or you could head out into the nearby hills to follow cycling and hiking trails. Another wonderful way to explore this breathtaking landscape is by booking a horse trek with a local equine centre.

This area of Puglia is dotted with lots of pretty towns and villages which are just a stone’s throw away from the house. The nearest village is Cisternino which is 7km away. This idyllic whitewashed village offers a number of shops and eateries, historic buildings to explore and enjoys wonderful views over the Valle d'Itria.

Close by you can also visit the towns of Martina Franca and Ceglie Messapica which are each around 10km away. The UNESCO World Heritage town of Alberobello which is packed with clusters of dazzling white Trulli is also well worth a visit and is only 25km away by car.

What Oliver loves...

  • Tenuta Marilù is a rural home sitting in 15,000m2 of olive groves, almond and walnut trees and lush vegetation
  • This historic Trullo building with contemporary annexe combines old and new beautifully
  • You are sure to want to spend lots of time in the stunning garden which boasts a large swimming pool
  • From the roof terrace you can take in views of rural Puglia
  • Visit nearby towns and villages with ease, as Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino and Martina Franca are all under 10km away

What you should know

  • One of the bedrooms is located in a separate annexe which offers privacy to guests travelling with another group.
  • The Trullo is kept naturally cool due to the thick walls coated in lime plaster, while the living room and annexe bedroom is air-conditioned.
  • Due to the rural nature of the home we recommend that guests arrive by car. There is private parking available in the fenced grounds.
  • Within the same grounds as Tenuta Marilù there is a second Trullo which is currently being renovated though this is not yet ready for guests and should not be accessed.
  • Two additional guests can be accommodated on sofa beds, bringing total capacity to 8 guests.
