Trulli Tartaruga
About the home
Our Trulli has its own private swimming pool set within it’s own grounds and is just a very short drive from the centre of beautiful Ostuni and a 10 minute drive to some of the loveliest beaches Italy has to offer.
Trulli Tartaruga is made from local Italian stone which allows the interior of the Trulli to be kept cool through those long warm summer days.
Trulli Tartaruga can be found towards the end of a country lane surrounded by traditional ,small scale Italian,olive and almound farmers.You will be holidaying in the Italian countryside whilst being very close to the white city of Ostuni and the wounderfully uncrowded beaches of the Puglia region.
Peace,quite and relaxation at Trulli Tartaruga whilst having all aspects of modern living on your door step.Welcome to the very lovely area of Puglia and Trulli Tartaruga.
The grounds cover approx 2 acres and are stocked with olives, almonds, vines and soft fruits.Our Trulli has the added benefit of being located within the quite countryside while being only a very short drive from the centre of Ostuni and its fabulous restaurants.There is a barbecue area, beautifully shaded dining area and two roof terraces with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside ideal for enjoying an evening drink while watching the sun go down.

Further details indoors:
The Trulli sleeps up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms.Much of the property is open plan centred around the domed room, offering a wonderful mix of old and new (all bedrooms are private.) There is a fitted kitchen and shower room,with a detached second bathroom & toilet which is ideal for showering down after a day at the beach.
No smoking in house please. Please note, Trulli properties are wonderful - but do not expect to be surrounded by kew gardens! The grounds are rustic olive groves which we think are lovely so please do not expect neat rows of pansies. Likewise, this is a typical Pugliese trulli property set in a rual location and not a Mediterranean style villa!
The Italian farmer who tends the land does not believe in using chemical weed killer as he wants to retain the soils integrity and organisms so therefore there may be the odd weed out of place. The olive and fruit trees are harvested in a way that has not changed in centuries.
The villa is perfect for a family of up to 6. We can add the extra single alcove beds taking this up to 8, but this would be maximum capacity and would offer less privacy.
Further details outdoors:
The local town, Ostuni is just 5 minutes away by car. This is the jewel of Puglia. Here you will find wonderful restaurants, bars and a big market in the historic old town.
The best (blue flag) beaches in the region are just a 10 minute drive away. There are countless stunning towns to visit nearby from Ostuni and Martina Franca to the 'Florence of the South', Lecce. There is also a wonderful zoosafari theme park nearby. The grounds extend to 9000 sq.m. of olive, almond and fruit trees.
There are plenty of lovely places to sit outside, around the pool, beneath a shaded vineyard and on the shaded veranda and roof terrace.
A lovely self-catering Trulli with its own private swimming pool , set within its own private grounds.
The grounds are extensive and richly stocked with olives, almonds, vines and soft fruits.Our Trulli has the added benefit of being located within the quite countryside while being only a very short drive from the centre of Ostuni and its fabulous restaurants.
There is a barbecue area, beautifully shaded dining area and two roof terraces with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside ideal for enjoying an evening drink while watching the sun go down.
Ostuni is a stunning medieval white city, offering some of the best cuisine in Italy! It is a very vibrant city with a huge weekly market and the friendliest locals in Italy. Even at peak season, it remains very Italian and unspoilt. It is the place where Italians take their holidays! The villa is just 10 minutes away from the stunning Ionian coastline - 500 miles of white sandy beaches.
The nearest beach is the best family beach in the area, complete with fantastic beach restaurant (fantastic fish!) There are plenty of places to visit from the stunning World Heritage site, Alberobello (trulli town), to the beautiful city of Lecce (the Florence of the South!). For kids there is the fantastic Fasanolandia zoo safari and theme park plus the chance to be at one with nature and see where 90% of the Italy's pasta and olive oils are produced.

Some of our guests have flown into other airports such as Rome,Napoli etc. and driven to the Villa and some had even driven from Southern France.
With regard to car hire - I would suggest going to one of the comparison web sites and see what they have to offer as prices tend to change on a regular basis and no one operator continually offers the best price.

Dear Jon
Just to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday in your Trulli - everything about it was perfect. Mimma and Attilio were great bringing us fresh fruit most days. It was one of the relaxing and refreshing holidays we have had - and then we returned to frenetic Napoli, oh well.....
With best regards
