Overview
Surrounded by olive groves and farmland you will find Trullo Follettino in a vast landscaped garden. The villa is a historic, cone-shaped Trullo which has been tastefully restored to create a spacious and contemporary holiday home. When staying here guests are able to spend lazy days in the nearby countryside or head out on day trips to towns such as Ceglie Messapica and Alberobello with ease.
The serene setting of the home means that guests can find walking and cycling trails through the verdant countryside just a stone’s throw away, while the closest shops and eateries are a mere 3.5km away.
As you approach the villa through rolling hills and ancient olive trees, you will see the exteriors of this traditional Trullo, covered in rustic whitewashed stone. The home has sat on this land for centuries and the owners have made sure to maintain the character and charm of this original agricultural building. While the period features have been preserved, the interiors of the villa have been recently restored and re-decorated in a modern style with high-quality furnishings and décor.
The social heart of the home is the open-plan living space which comprises of a light-filled living and dining area with comfy seating and a large dining table where you can gather together with family or friends for meals. The adjoining kitchen has all of the appliances you can need for making drinks and cooking for your party as well as a much-needed coffee machine in the kitchen for brewing a fresh morning coffee to sip on the terrace.
There are three bedrooms available for when you wish to turn in for the night; the master bedroom is set in its own Trullo with an incredible vaulted stone ceiling and an inviting canopy bed. The other two bedrooms have comfortable beds with crisp white linen, pretty stone work and boast lovely views of the garden, one of these rooms is a double bedroom, while the other has two bunk beds which would be great for the kids or a group of friends. Two of the well-appointed bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom and the other is next to a separate family bathroom.
On a balmy evening you can simply step on to the covered terrace to dine al-fresco. The garden boasts a summer kitchen where you could make pizzas in the wood burning oven or maybe fire up the barbecue and stock the fridge with drinks for a fun-filled evening together. The large leafy garden also has a private swimming pool with a jacuzzi feature in one corner so you can unwind overlooking the enveloping countryside.
Aside from the local village, there are plenty of fantastic places you can visit within a short drive of the villa including the long sandy beaches which are 25km away and towns such as Ceglie Messapica, a picture-postcard town filled with a charming old quarter.
What you should know…
There are three comfortable bedrooms available for guests but if you require additional sleeping space you can utilise the sofa bed in the living area

Location
About the surrounding area of Trullo FollettinoTrullo Follettino sits 25km inland in lush Puglian farmland, mid-way between the city of Brindisi and the famous seaside town of Polignano a Mare. This area is filled with some incredible villages and towns which are dotted around the pretty hilltops and each boast their own charms and culture.
While staying in the Puglian countryside, you are also well-placed for enjoying time in nature in the expansive nearby landscape; you will find golf courses, hiking routes, cycling trails and organised horse treks within easy reach of the home. Puglia is also enclosed by two lengthy and stunning coastlines; the Adriatic and the Savelletri coasts which are littered with exclusive beach clubs and long sandy beaches. The closest beach to the villa is Torre Santa Sabina which is 25km away by car, the beach sits next to a medieval watch tower and is also serviced by numerous bars and restaurants meaning you can spend all day here relaxing followed by a delicious sea-view meal.
Puglia is packed with an abundance of atmospheric hillside villages, authentic hamlets and historic towns for you to discover. The closest is the small town of San Michele Salentino which is only a stone’s throw away, making it a handy place to visit for lunch or for picking up groceries. The town hails from the 18th century and was constructed in a Spanish style by a noble-family. There are a good range of shops and places to grab a bite to eat here, surrounding the thriving central piazza where locals gather to chat as the children play. In town there are also centuries-old churches, a museum and a gallery for you to visit.
Another nearby town which you can drive to is the 2000-year-old town of Ceglie Messapica which is 16km away. Here you can explore fascinating pre-historic monuments and ruins and visit the medieval ducal palace and gardens. As well as ancient and historic attractions, you can simply spend your day in Ceglie Messapica wandering around the pretty squares which are lined with shops and restaurants. The town has become a hub for foodies and here you can sample authentic Puglian dishes from small trattorias or try famous locally made products such as an almond flour biscuit called biscotti di Ceglie, best enjoyed with a coffee at a street-side café.
For a wider range of restaurants, cafes and bars you could visit the dazzling ‘White City’ of Ostuni which is 17km away. This picturesque city is made up of bright white buildings which seem to tumble gracefully down the hillside. The original town walls still stand and enclose quaint churches, a civic museum, a gorgeous Gothic cathedral and the old medieval gates. You can walk around the city easily, stopping off for gelato or pastries along the way but if you would prefer to book on to a guided tour to learn more from a helpful guide, there are plenty on offer including walking tours, food tours and bike tours. Just outside of the centre of Ostuni you can also visit a brilliant archaeological park and see ruins and buildings which were built as far back as the Neolithic period. Ostuni is beautiful at all times but is best experienced as the sun sets over the stunning buildings and surrounding landscape.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesPuglia, located in Italy’s heel, is a fantastic location for a family holiday as there is so much to see and do. Close to the beach you can visit countless sandy beaches, discover the rugged hills on horseback and explore sleepy villages together.
One of Puglia’s most gorgeous cities is Ostuni which is 17km away from the villa. Known as the White City, this whitewashed city is packed with charm and has a rich history. If you plan to visit with the kids then a good way to see the sights while keeping the children engaged is to book on to a guided bike tour. These tours are brilliant as the little ones can have fun on the bikes while you learn more about the city and head out in to the rolling farmland nearby.
