About the home

'Trullo della Luna' is a farmhouse, it is the typical building house you can find in Valle d'Itria: it is a classic 4-cones rural trullo. This type of building was once used only by the local peasants, now its shapes are appreciated by the entire world and are representative of this Italian region and its ancient culture. This area of Apulia is becoming a new Chianti, a place where the nature fuses its beauty into the controlled, quiet human environment. We recently bought this trullo when it was completely abandoned. As we are both architects, we saw it as if its dry-stone blocks were the ruins of an ancient temple, and we have restored it with a great enthusiasm. Our aim is to rent it for holiday stays and use it for our familiar purposes. See for further information our website linked in the contact area of this advertisement.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
'Trullo della Luna' is composed by a main dome-shaped room where there is a sofabed (2) and 3 vaulted 'alcova', on 1 side, 2 of them form a small bedroom with another sofabed (2), from the other side there is the kitchenette. In the new area on the rear of the building there is a bedroom with a double bed and the bathroom with wash basin, wc, bidet, shower.

Further details outdoors:
Outside the building, near the swimming pool, there is another important 'room', a sort of yard, once used for goats and sheep now a beautiful place with a table and a wooden pergola. Our trullo is completely immersed in a beautiful olive grove. When we bought the trullo, we though it is the best place to have relaxing moments. Our exclusive swimming pool (5 mt x 11 mt), surrounded by olive groves and located just aside of the trullo, will help you sampling the silences and the beauty of this place.

Further details

It is absolutely a necessity to have a car for staying in Trullo della Luna. It is a detached villa in a rural area and a car is needed for any simple movement. If you desire to have our Fiat Panda, just confirm you want it! We don't ask any fee for this. You will take it in Brindisi, close to the airport. In the priviledged section of our site, dedicated to our guests, you will find accurate details about the route from Brindisi to the trullo and from the trullo to the various wonderful beaches of the coast.
At the end of your stay, you will be required to leave the car in the same place, once filled up with gasoline! We will send you the keys by post.
The insurance covers all risks, car driver included.
We are sorry to give this opportunity only for parties up to three people: the panda is a small car and there is room enough for three people only , considering you have probably also some luggage to bring. We absolutely can't discount the rental price in the case you refuse this offered benefit.

The Puglia/Molise region

In the "Location and amenities" section of our web site you will find a series of suggested places to visit during your holiday in Trullo della Luna. You'll see all the descriptions are based on our direct experiences and reflect our familiar approach to the areas.

Briefly though it is well worth visiting the city of Matera with its abandoned old town, which is included by UNESCO in its World Heritage Sites. Or Alberobello, considered the quaintest town in Italy, it consists almost entirely of trulli (over a thousand of them); a series of urban quarters entirely full filled by neatly whitewashed houses with conical roofs, made of superimposed dry-stone blocks.

Approximately 20 km from Trullo della Luna there is the Natural Reserve of Torre Guaceto, a stretch of uncontaminated coast with beautiful small beaches of crystal clear waters. The park extends itself for approximately 1,000 hectares of land and 2,000 hectares of sea including about seven kilometres of uncontaminated small bays of golden sand alternated with beautiful headlands. Here you can go bike riding, snorkelling, sailing or just soak up the incredible atmosphere.

Other places of interest include the beautiful village of Grottaglie, famous for the handmade ceramic products. Or the caves of Grotte di Castellana and Fasano Wildlife Park- ideal family day trips! The small round village, Locorotondo,made by whitewashed buildings with plenty of small shops and restaurants also makes for an interesting day out- be sure to try the local wine!

The Ostuni / San Michele Salentino area

A more confidential area of our private site contains all the tips for restaurants, shops and all the useful instructions for your stay in Trullo della Luna and nearby resources.

Ostuni is situated on three hills at the edge of the Murge, a short distance away from the Adriatic coast and 18 km from Trullo della Luna. The medieval village is clustered on one of the three hills and stands with its whitewashed facade over a limestone cliff. Thus Ostuni is called also "the white town". We suggest visiting this town when the sky is particularly clear or even when a thunderstorm is coming and the sun still lights up the buildings: the intense contrast of luminescence gives a unique great effect!
It's also amazing taking a visit on evening when the town shows its tourist vocation offering numerous candle lit restaurants, bars and shops.
The town, Messapian in origin, has also many important pieces of architecture and art which is worth visiting. The cattedrale (15th cent.) has a splendid gothic facade and the interior was remodelled in 18th century style.

Guestbook for Trullo della Luna

Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We spent a lovely honeymoon here in May 2009. The trullo has been well restored, and the pool and BBQ facilities are lovely. The trullo is located in a fascinating part of Italy, with pretty medieval towns within driving distance, and both the Adriatic and the Ionian coasts only an hour or so's drive away. Paulo the owner is very friendly and helpful, his English is good, and he has produced comprehensive instructions to accompany the workings of the trullo (the alarm, the pool, the fiat panda which can be hired along with the trullo, etc). We would definitely recommend a stay at Trullo della Luna! Amy and Josh
