The Puglia/Molise region

Puglia has a great deal to offer: hundreds of miles of coastline, ancient and unspoilt hill towns, and always nature at its best: beautiful, rugged scenery with gnarled olive trees, spring flowers, red soil and acres of vineyards. The towns of Ostuni, Martina Franca, Alberobello, famous for its trulli - thousands of circular stone hobbit-like houses and Cisternino are just a few miles away from the trullo and they all offer stunning architecture, lovely walks and a choice of superb restaurants.

The excellent white wines of Locorotondo and the reds from the Salentine peninsular will complement your 'alfresco' meals under the ancient olive trees of our trulli. Here you are never too far from the sea. The Adriatic and the Ionian seas offer large beaches and quiet coves, with beautiful clear blue water. The more you explore this area the more enchanted you will be by its unspoilt beauty.

Ostuni / Cisternino area

The Sea - The Ostuni coast with emerald coloured sea and sandy coves is a 30-minutes drive away. You can get to the sea in about half an hour. If you go to Costa Merlata or Torre Pozzelle (off the 379) you can choose from a series of rocky coves and lovely clear water for swimming. Also you can go to one of the Lidos situated along the coast – where you can find sandy dunes.

Excursions: Puglia has a lot to offer - apart from Ostuni, the lovely 'Città Bianca' for its whitewashed medieval houses and the great sea view vistas - one should see these delightful small towns all close to Pascarosa:
Martina Franca: an exquisite old town with beautiful baroque architecture - here an International Opera Festival takes place during late July / August. Little known operas are staged in the courtyard of the wonderful Palazzo Ducale.

Locorotondo: built in a circular formation, hence its name, where streets spiral up to a magnificent church visible for miles around. The area is famous for its deliciously crispy white wine.

Cisternino: with a delightful old small centro storico. There is music in the square most evenings

Alberobello: famous for its trulli - thousands of circular stone hobbit-like houses with cone-shaped roofs made of dry stones without cement. If you want them in abundance climb the steps to the old quarter which has a small museum in a group of trulli and you could be back in the 17th century!

Lecce. A splendid town, known also as 'the Florence of the South'. Its baroque architecture, the Roman amphitheatre and the magnificent Piazza Duomo make this an unmissable destination.

How to get there

Tullo Il Parasido can be easily reached by Ryanair flights from London Stansted as well as regular connections from Rome and Milan. Brindisi is only 35 km away and Bari is 80km from Pascarosa village.
Ferry connection from Brindisi Port also about 30 km from Pascarosa.

Guestbook for Il Paradiso

M. Richardson - Swindon, UK. - Nov. 2008
What a marvellous few days in an idyllic setting!! Far from the madding crowd, a truly Romeo and Juliet experience. My other half enjoyed it too : 1) Can't wait to return again as soon as possible!! The Trullo exceeded our expectations inside and out!! as did the local scenery. Spotlessly clean, tidy, comfortable and tastefully furnished, a remarkable renovation! We want one too!! or lets be greedy.....more than one!! A real life Hobbit house, home from home. Bilbo and Frodo!!

T. Colgan - Co Antrim - Oct. 2008
For purely selfish reasons I am reluctant to write this review – simply because I would like to keep this idyllic trullo all to myself (and I am certain that once you have stayed here you will understand my sentiments).

My husband and I spent a wonderful week in October 2008 at Trullo Il Paradiso – if you are searching for exceptional accommodation, in a tranquil setting, in the heart of the Puglian countryside, then look no further.

Our stay at Trullo Il Paradiso far exceeded our expectations - the setting (in the heart of an ancient olive grove); interior design (a perfect balance of style and functionality); and amenities (everything you could wish for and more including whiter than white bed linen and towels) were all exceptional.

We enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing week based at Il Paradiso and found the olive groves and local area ideal for outdoor pursuits such as walking and running. The trullo was also ideally located to enable us to explore Puglia and to enjoy some lovely evenings out in the surrounding towns of Martina Franca, Ostuni and Cisternino most of which are less than a 15/20 minute drive away. That said, one of our most memorable evenings was at the trullo itself when Aurora (our local contact for the trullo) prepared a glorious meal for us (from Antipasti to Dolce).

Anna, the owner of the property, could not have been more helpful providing us with advice and even helping to co-ordinate our car hire and local transfers prior to our departure.

Trullo Il Paradiso is aptly named and I look forward to returning - hopefully in the not too distant future.
