About the home

Our trulli is located about 1.5 kilometres from the town of Castellana where the famous grotto is located. Renowned the world over for its formations of stalagmites and stalactites. The trulli is set in a large remote controlled gated garden planted mainly with olive, almond, cherry and other fruit trees. The roof has been lovingly restored and a new wooden gazebo erected outside for dining out of the hot sun. Two long tables and chairs are provided along with sun loungers for outside use.

Please note this is a large pool with a deep end of 12 foot depth and is not suitable for children under twelve.
We have a separate annex to the property which is our sleeping accommodation during your stay but do respect your privacy during your stay.
