If you are looking for a character-filled base for your trip to Puglia, then look no further than Trullo Itria. This historic building was rescued from ruin by the owners and lovingly restored using traditional materials and décor to create a warm and welcoming place to stay. With a range of pretty villages under 10km away and beaches only 20km away, you will have plenty to see and do while on holiday here.
As you approach this beautiful home through fields of fig trees and olive groves, you will spot the iconic, whitewashed cone-topped buildings, surrounded by native planting and overlooking the sea beyond. This home is a delightful place to spend your Italian escape and can sleep four guests, so it would be ideal for a small family or two couples travelling together.
The house is all on one level and is made up of four original trullos, which are only found in this part of Italy, as well as a recently constructed lamia, a stunning room with vaulted ceilings, which fits seamlessly in with the rest of the property. Within these rooms, you will find a living room, a writer’s nook, a well-equipped kitchen and two cosy bedrooms. The interiors have been designed to reflect the simplistic beauty of these agricultural buildings, which were built in the early 18th century, so inside you will see exposed stone work, an open fireplace and locally made blankets and handicrafts. The owners, however, have also endeavoured to provide guests with modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and chic bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Surrounding the home is a gorgeous garden packed with bee-friendly florals, shrubs and lawned areas. There is a pergola with a large dining table which looks over wooded hillsides and the dazzling Adriatic Sea, plus there is a swimming pool for a refreshing dip on a hot afternoon.
This part of Puglia is dotted with charming hamlets and villages, which you can visit with ease. The closest village is a few kilometres away and offers a number of amenities, such as a small grocery shop, a bar and a restaurant serving barbecued meats, which is a local speciality.
This Trullo is perfect for those who wish to be located in the countryside, and a car will be needed to move around and discover more beauty. The Trullo has a unique charm with its agricultural style, renovated but still humble to its origins.
Also nearby, you are able to visit the much-loved town of Alberobello, which is 17km away, the ancient seaside town of Polginano a Mare, which is 30km away and the stunning beaches of the Adriatic coastline, such as Savelletri beach and Torre Canne beach, which are approximately 20km away.
