Home description
This beautiful trulli was completely renovated and extended in 2007 by its English owners to create a 3 double bedroomed, 2 bathroomed holiday home. The home is set in 3 acres of olive and almond groves in a lovely rural setting. There are delightful countryside views and a real feeling of privacy and tranquility despite being only 10 minutes from the bars, restaurants and shops of Ostuni. We have tried to give the property a cool contemporary feel without compromising the beauty and simplicity of the original structure or of the surrounding countryside. The home consists of 2 joined properties - the original two hundred year old stone built trulli which has 1 large double bedroom, 1 bathroom and a living/dining/kitchen (with double sofa bed) and the newly built extension (also a trulli built by local builders to compliment the existing building) which has 2 double bedrooms, a bathroom and a living/dining/kitchen. The properties are adjacent but have separate entrances. This means that they can be rented as one villa that sleeps 6 (8) or 2 villas, 1 sleeping 2 (4) and 1 sleeping 4. This arrangement also makes them ideal for groups where 2 guests would prefer increased privacy, for example two couples one of which has two children or a family with grandparents. Both trullis have fully stocked kitchens and large bathrooms. The new property also has a dishwasher. Both properties also have access to a large ulitity room with a washing machine, iron, ironing board etc. As this is the first year we are renting out our home all the fittings and furnishings are brand new. All the garden furniture is by Emu and of very high quality. The pool which was completed at the end of 2007 has a large terrace around it with sun loungers and a huge umbrella. There is also a separate outdoor, partially covered eating area with a large table and chairs and an outdoor cooking area with bbq, sink and work area. This makes it ideal for alfresco dining or just sipping a cocktail as you watch the sun set over the hills. There is also a large terrace in front of the trullis. The whole property is beautifully lit up at night so you can enjoy the warm evenings for as long as you want to. The property is approached down a long rural lane and has large gates at the entrance and a shaded parking area.

The Puglia/Molise region
Great beaches with crystal clear waters Lovely friendly people and fantstic people watching opportunities with the nightly passagiata which starts at 10pm in the summer in most towns Great food and wine Beautiful towns Unspoilt scenery and sense that this is the real Italy - still not too many tourists around, lots of italians holiday here themselves The itria valley which is full of trulli is quite unique. Beautiful old olive trees everywhere and masseria (farmhouses) that are now luxury hotels and restaurants Lots of great places to eat
Ostuni / Casalini area
Ostuni which is 10 minutes away by car and a great town = medieval, whitewashed hill town known as the citta biancha. There are lots of good restaurants and bars and plenty of quality shops aswell. It has quite a trendy feel to it helped by a few very upmarket bars and hotels. Cisternino, Locorotondo and Martina Franca are also near and worth a visit. Slightly further afield Lecce has some great Baroque architecture. The beaches and sea around the area are great and very unspolit. Nearby is Rosa Marina which is very pleasant but if you want really amazing beaches and crystal clear water head to Torre Guaceto which is a 20 minute drive towards Brindisi. You must visit Alberobello which is incredble (full of trullis) but also full of bus louds of tourists in the summer.
How to get there
Both BA and Ryanair fly to nearby airports. BA fly to Bari (1 hr from house) and Ryanair fly to both Bari and Brindisi (30 mins frm house) You should arrange to hire a car from the airport. From the airport take the mainroad that runs between Bari and Brindisi and head towards whichever Ciy you didn't arraive in (if you landed at bari head towards Brindisi and vice versa). Leave the road when you see signs to Ostuni and head up to Ostuni. Once near Ostuni our Manager will meet you at the AGIP petrol station on the road just before you enter the town itself. He will escort you to the property and answer any questions that you have regarding the property and its facilities. On booking you will be given his contact details and full instructions.

Guestbook
This is the first year we have rented out our home so not many comments yet but so far we have had the folowing comments:
'I just wanted to say on behalf of Hugo, myself and our son Louis and the other couple and their 2 children what a beautiful trulli you have in Puglia. You will remember how nervous we were booking having never hired a villa direct before. I can only say that all our fears were immediately allayed and how overjoyed we all were with the trulli, the pool, the setting, the space and the area and proximity to beautiful Ostuni. The space inside both trulli was wonderfully generous, plenty of room for both families to spread out and have their own space while still being part of the same area - brilliant! And the pool was of course the hub of our holiday. So thank you so much from all of us. We would love to come back and stay again - it was VERY hard to leave.' Andrea and Hugo Caro
The place is so idyllic, fell in love with the area which is worth exploring. Also worth doing is sitting in the dome of the old trulli at night to stargaze, we saw the moon, venus, mars etc. It was very spiritual. What is also fun is to light candles around the bbq area - very pretty! The pool was amazing. We hope you will enjoy the trulli and pool as much as we did - a truly memorable, amazing holiday. Ottavio is very helpful - especially about places to eat. The Masons
We have relaxed as was our intention - beautiful trulli and location, have grown fond of the area.Ottavio and Irani are real stars. We loved the markets - fresh food, fruit and local wine. Thank you so much for an excellent holiday. Geoffrey and Wendy Grant
