About this property

Lovely fully restored trullo country house, large pool and wifi

Trullo Cipresso is a large home in the most desirable part of the famous Trullo country of the Valle d'Itria, in the countryside a few minutes outside beautiful Locorotondo and the World Heritage site at Alberobello. The Trullo has recently been sympathetically restored and fully modernised. It is ideal for families, for large groups of friends or simply for those looking for the pleasures of a traditional trullo home but with modern facilities and more space to relax.

The main building has nine large trulli cones and features three double/twin bedrooms and one triple bedroom, a fully appointed kitchen, a dining room, two sitting rooms and two bathrooms (one with a shower, one with a small bath). Two of the bedrooms, both sitting rooms and one of the bathrooms are under trulli cones, as is part of the kitchen, whilst the remainder of the kitchen and the dining room both have barrel vaulted roofs.

Across the ancient stone courtyard is a second building with a double bedroom and en suite shower room.

The courtyard is shaded by fruit trees, making a wonderful place for lunch or dinner at our stone dining table. Beyond the courtyard is a large pool (10m x 6m), fully fenced and with a large sunbathing area which has recently been extended to allow ample space for sunbeds on the west side of the pool as well as the east. The house is set in an acre of land with pomegranate, fig, cherry, mulberry, apricot, apple and olive trees.

There is off road parking for two cars (three with one obstructing others).

The property's CIS number (Italian holiday property register) is BA0720259100000016613.

Villa agréable et parfaite pour un groupe
La villa est fonctionnelle, tout à fait appropriée pour un groupe d'amis et passer de bons moments (piscine, grand extérieur, grande table, bbq, etc...) Bien située, très proche en voiture du centre de Locorotondo, d'Alberobello et pratique pour rayonner dans les villes autour. Seul petit bémol sur la propreté de la vaisselle et certains ustensiles de cuisine à revoir.

Fantastic group holiday in Trullo Cipresso
From booking onwards this was a fantastic place to stay, and I look forward to taking credit for choosing it from my friends for a long time. Jonathan was super helpful and answered all my questions on message before we arrived. The management company in Puglia were just as helpful and communicative. The Trullo was perfect for us, 9 adults and 1 baby. There was plenty of baby equipment and the separate annex bedroom and bathroom was perfect for the family in our group. All bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was really well kitted out. The outdoor area was fantastic, we had many meals around the large outside table and used the BBQ. The pool was huge and we spent many hours there. Location-wise the villa is easy to find and in a great spot to visit the local towns and even some places slightly further afield like Matera. The guide provided by the owners was really useful, in particular the recommendation of having a guided tour round Matera which we thoroughly enjoyed. I just wish we’d had another week for more pool lounging and exploring.

Tutti felici
Il trullo invita a godere a pieno della vita in Puglia, la struttura della casa sempre fresca, gli angoli fioriti del giardino, un grande tavolo dove condividere i pasti e i giochi a carte, non ultima la piscina! Siamo stati in 8, spazio per tutti! Camere confortevoli, cucina super organizzata, colori pastello in armonia con la pietra del trullo…sì, è stata una bellissima vacanza !

Beautiful trulli villa in amazing countryside
Fabulous property. Like staying in a hobbit house! Great location too. But some bins would have helped - 9 adults staying in a house makes for lots of rubbish. Minor quibble as we all enjoyed the house so much

Trullo in Heaven
This is an amazing trullo ideal for a relaxing holiday. The original building has been sympathetically restored with very good taste. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious. The garden is wide and well kept with all the classical Mediterranean fruit trees. The swimming pool is gated (which is great if you have young kids like us) and is cleaned twice a week, which I truly appreciated. We spent never ending afternoons and evening dining under the pergola. What can you wish more? Ah yes, the nearby countryside is idyllic and the nearby Locorotondo a true unspoilt gem!

Incredible Trullo
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful trullo. The outdoor area is amazing, all our meals were eaten in the shade in the courtyars. A fenced pool area was a plus with a toddler in the mix. The pool was clean and comfortable. Indoors the trullo domes (apart from being beautiful) directed the heat upwards, resulting in comfortable temperatures, even when it was mid thirties outside. All in all we had a comfortable and memorable stay. Highly recommended!

Great house- plenty of space
Lovely place, great outdoor courtyard, well stocked kitchen, plenty of bedrooms. Additional out building bedroom is a great addition. Proximity to Locorotondo is good- there's some lovely little spots there, without being too busy or touristy.

Découverte des Pouilles
Belle propriété calme, bien restaurée et très bien équipée. Adaptée à 2 familles avec enfants. Seul bémol de taille : il faut être patient pour avoir de l’eau chaude et de la pression (attendre au minimum 5 mn) et il est déconseillé de boire l’eau du robinet (prévoir un budget bouteilles d’eau ou se contenter du très bon vin local ou de la bière !). Dommage car la maison est vraiment sympathique et le propriétaire est très accessible et réactif.

Amazing holiday in Locorotondo
Thank you for letting us stay in your fabulous holiday home. The Trullo was immaculate throughout, situated in a beautiful part of the Countryside. It was the perfect holiday home for a family and the pool kept the kids happy all day long. Everything was as described or better. I can’t wait to go back again. Thank you for a brilliant holiday.

Super séjour
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans ce lieu plein de charme. Trullo restauré avec beaucoup de goût. Très bien équipé en vaisselle et linge de maison/toilette. Nous étions 10, 4 adultes et 6 pré-ados, ados et jeunes adultes. Chacun a pu trouver son espace. La piscine est très agréable, tout comme l'espace repas à l'extérieur où nous avons passé de beaux moments. En pleine campane mais très proche de commerces de grande qualité; à Locorotondo (5 minutes en voiture), on trouve épicerie, primeur, boucher/traiteur, poissonnier, boulangerie, fromager et un supermarché. Et nous avons pu rayonner dans la région, à la découverte de lieux plus sympas les uns que les autres : Bari, Lecce, Alberobello, Ostuni, Monopoli, Polignano a mare, Matera...Choix difficile entre visiter et profiter de la piscine...

Amazing home in lovely and tranquil surroundings
The home and grounds are even lovelier in person and so well kept. It was a lovely spot in a great location and not too far from the major tourist attractions or beaches. The courtyard and pool are beautiful and well maintained. The owners were always accessible and supportive and made the stay even more pleasant. I will return to Puglia and am glad my first foray was at Trullo Cipresso.

Gezellig huis in prachtige landelijke omgeving
Algehele indruk is positief. Het huis is comfortabel, gezeilig en smaakvol ingericht, eigenaar is vast een kook liefhebber. Leuke kookboeken. Bedden zijn prima. Fijn dat het zwembad kan worden afgesloten (ivm kleine kinderen). Punten waarover wij kritisch zijn: * warmwater systeem, het duurt een eeuw voor het water warm is om te douchen * bij ons was een storing met de internet verbinding, herstel duurde 3 dagen * gas was op tijdens ons verblijf. * toegang tot terrein, wees voorzichtig met auto. Het is erg smal en je hebt zo schade. Bij ons gelukkig goed gegaan. Best irritant maar een beetje pech denk ik. Doet niet af aan onze positieve ervaring. Conclusie, heerlijk huis & tuin om te huren in een schitterende omgeving!

Fantastic stay in typical Trullo
We had our yearly family gathering at Trullo Cipresso: the house is absolutely fabulous, restored with great taste keeping all the beautiful features of a typical trullo but with all the modern amenities. We were 7 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room inside and outside to enjoy our week together. It's close to many amazing towns that are must see in Puglia. The personal touches with the welcome pack and the kind words from the owner all made it extra special. Allison was also very friendly at the check-in/check-out. I would definitely recommend this house and would love to come back again! (but next time hopefully with a better weather)

Delightful
Delightful This is a wonderful place to relax with the family and plenty of friends. The trullo is enchanting: it feels ancient and cool, harking back to its previous lives (albeit with all the modcons) and with many lovely areas to unwind. It had everything we needed with many well-furnished rooms, a lovely courtyard with plenty of sun and shade, and a glorious pool. Lovely and safe for the children too, who spent hours in the pool and playing a variety of games in the large courtyard. Will never forget the long Mediterranean lunches and dinners in the courtyard, the evenings extending well into the night in the company of some charming local wines. Great location too, in a quiet and unspoilt part of Italy away from the crowds further north, and with a distinctly oriental influence. Locorotondo, Alberobello and Martina Franca are all close and are great explore. We can’t wait to come back.

A wonderful, quiet oasis
An exceptional villa full of character and charm. It is beautifully appointed and furnished. All the rooms are extremely comfortable and each one is very different with its own special character. Sunsets from the roof are gorgeous and dinner under the trees on the terrace is so pleasant you linger and linger long into the night. Highly recommended for groups (as we were) or just a few people looking to unwind.

Perfect Puglia
This spacious and welcoming villa, with its stunning roofline of trulli, is very well located, a few minutes from delightful Locorotondo, (an easy transfer from either Bari or Brindisi airports) and close to Alborobello and Martina Franka. A comfortable home-from-home – families will especially appreciate the space. If you can tear yourself away from the large swimming pool and shaded terrace, there is so much to see and explore in this, as yet, quite undiscovered part of Italy - beautiful hilltop towns with bustling markets, stunning architecture, numerous restaurants, and within a short drive, the glorious blue of the Adriatic Sea. Gorgeous area, gorgeous house.

A relaxing stay in a beautiful house
A charming trullo set in a wonderful and still relatively untouched part of Italy. The house is very well appointed, with the shady courtyard and the pool particular highlights. Locrotondo has all the amenities you might need, including many good restaurants, and there are plenty of pretty villages nearby to explore. The coast and its beaches are also an easy drive. We loved our stay and very much look forward to returning!

Fabulous
A beautifully restored Trullo in a still very untouristy area of Italy - good sized bedrooms and a wonderful pool and sunbathing area. The local restaurants are fabulous and Locorotondo is close by with several supermarkets, wine shops and ice-cream places. A very relaxing holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
We are three London-based university friends, all professionals, who decided to buy our own piece of Italian sunshine and set out on the journey to find and restore our own trullo. We worked with a friend who is an Italian architect, with a home of her own in Puglia, who had a vision for a major restoration that would combine the simple beauty of a trullo with the practicalities of a home suitable for families and friends. After a year's work Trullo Cipresso was finished and we have been enjoying it ever since. A couple of years later we added the pool, which is a real boon. We have young children, who love the pool and the local beaches, and have also had many friends to stay, of all ages.

Why they chose this property

Having been to Puglia several times and hugely enjoyed it, when some friends bought a house in the same area we found the idea hard to resist and took the plunge. We scoured the area and looked at dozens of trulli, but found most were either too small to make sense for a couple of families holidaying together, or were modern buildings without the trullo's soul. When we found Trullo Cipresso we could see the potential straight away, and with the skills of Giulia, our architect, we set about the transformation. We loved the fact it was in the country but still close to town, and an easy drive from the beaches as well as the cultural sites. Sitting in the courtyard in the evening with a glass of local wine, a bowl of olives, and freshly cooked fish from the oven in the warmth of the summer Puglian air, we are very happy we took the plunge.

What makes this property unique

The first thing that struck us was the beautiful courtyard, which is of old stone and partly shaded by a mass of trees including a huge mulberry, an apricot and a cherry. There are flowers throughout the summer including roses, wisteria and a magnificent bougainvillea which is a wonderful purple in high summer. Inside the house the layout was far more user friendly than any other house we had considered, with the rooms logically laid out and all internally connected apart from the en suite guest bedroom across the courtyard, which could provide a self-contained area of its own. Above all we loved the nine magnificent trullo cones, both from the outside and looking up from several of the rooms to the exposed stone interiors.
