About this property

Lovely fully restored trullo country house, large pool and wifi

Trullo Cipresso is a large home in the most desirable part of the famous Trullo country of the Valle d'Itria, in the countryside a few minutes outside beautiful Locorotondo and the World Heritage site at Alberobello. The Trullo has recently been sympathetically restored and fully modernised. It is ideal for families, for large groups of friends or simply for those looking for the pleasures of a traditional trullo home but with modern facilities and more space to relax.

The main building has nine large trulli cones and features three double/twin bedrooms and one triple bedroom, a fully appointed kitchen, a dining room, two sitting rooms and two bathrooms (one with a shower, one with a small bath). Two of the bedrooms, both sitting rooms and one of the bathrooms are under trulli cones, as is part of the kitchen, whilst the remainder of the kitchen and the dining room both have barrel vaulted roofs.

Across the ancient stone courtyard is a second building with a double bedroom and en suite shower room.

The courtyard is shaded by fruit trees, making a wonderful place for lunch or dinner at our stone dining table. Beyond the courtyard is a large pool (10m x 6m), fully fenced and with a large sunbathing area which has recently been extended to allow ample space for sunbeds on the west side of the pool as well as the east. The house is set in an acre of land with pomegranate, fig, cherry, mulberry, apricot, apple and olive trees.

There is off road parking for two cars (three with one obstructing others).

The property's CIS number (Italian holiday property register) is BA0720259100000016613.

Villa agréable et parfaite pour un groupe
La villa est fonctionnelle, tout à fait appropriée pour un groupe d'amis et passer de bons moments (piscine, grand extérieur, grande table, bbq, etc...) Bien située, très proche en voiture du centre de Locorotondo, d'Alberobello et pratique pour rayonner dans les villes autour. Seul petit bémol sur la propreté de la vaisselle et certains ustensiles de cuisine à revoir.

Fantastic group holiday in Trullo Cipresso
From booking onwards this was a fantastic place to stay, and I look forward to taking credit for choosing it from my friends for a long time. Jonathan was super helpful and answered all my questions on message before we arrived. The management company in Puglia were just as helpful and communicative. The Trullo was perfect for us, 9 adults and 1 baby. There was plenty of baby equipment and the separate annex bedroom and bathroom was perfect for the family in our group. All bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was really well kitted out. The outdoor area was fantastic, we had many meals around the large outside table and used the BBQ. The pool was huge and we spent many hours there. Location-wise the villa is easy to find and in a great spot to visit the local towns and even some places slightly further afield like Matera. The guide provided by the owners was really useful, in particular the recommendation of having a guided tour round Matera which we thoroughly enjoyed. I just wish we’d had another week for more pool lounging and exploring.

Tutti felici
Il trullo invita a godere a pieno della vita in Puglia, la struttura della casa sempre fresca, gli angoli fioriti del giardino, un grande tavolo dove condividere i pasti e i giochi a carte, non ultima la piscina! Siamo stati in 8, spazio per tutti! Camere confortevoli, cucina super organizzata, colori pastello in armonia con la pietra del trullo…sì, è stata una bellissima vacanza !

Beautiful trulli villa in amazing countryside
Fabulous property. Like staying in a hobbit house! Great location too. But some bins would have helped - 9 adults staying in a house makes for lots of rubbish. Minor quibble as we all enjoyed the house so much

Trullo in Heaven
This is an amazing trullo ideal for a relaxing holiday. The original building has been sympathetically restored with very good taste. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious. The garden is wide and well kept with all the classical Mediterranean fruit trees. The swimming pool is gated (which is great if you have young kids like us) and is cleaned twice a week, which I truly appreciated. We spent never ending afternoons and evening dining under the pergola. What can you wish more? Ah yes, the nearby countryside is idyllic and the nearby Locorotondo a true unspoilt gem!

About the host

Host profile image
We are three London-based university friends, all professionals, who decided to buy our own piece of Italian sunshine and set out on the journey to find and restore our own trullo. We worked with a friend who is an Italian architect, with a home of her own in Puglia, who had a vision for a major restoration that would combine the simple beauty of a trullo with the practicalities of a home suitable for families and friends. After a year's work Trullo Cipresso was finished and we have been enjoying it ever since. A couple of years later we added the pool, which is a real boon. We have young children, who love the pool and the local beaches, and have also had many friends to stay, of all ages.

Why they chose this property

Having been to Puglia several times and hugely enjoyed it, when some friends bought a house in the same area we found the idea hard to resist and took the plunge. We scoured the area and looked at dozens of trulli, but found most were either too small to make sense for a couple of families holidaying together, or were modern buildings without the trullo's soul. When we found Trullo Cipresso we could see the potential straight away, and with the skills of Giulia, our architect, we set about the transformation. We loved the fact it was in the country but still close to town, and an easy drive from the beaches as well as the cultural sites. Sitting in the courtyard in the evening with a glass of local wine, a bowl of olives, and freshly cooked fish from the oven in the warmth of the summer Puglian air, we are very happy we took the plunge.

What makes this property unique

The first thing that struck us was the beautiful courtyard, which is of old stone and partly shaded by a mass of trees including a huge mulberry, an apricot and a cherry. There are flowers throughout the summer including roses, wisteria and a magnificent bougainvillea which is a wonderful purple in high summer. Inside the house the layout was far more user friendly than any other house we had considered, with the rooms logically laid out and all internally connected apart from the en suite guest bedroom across the courtyard, which could provide a self-contained area of its own. Above all we loved the nine magnificent trullo cones, both from the outside and looking up from several of the rooms to the exposed stone interiors.
