About this property

The “trullo” – the traditional house of Apulia

“Trulli” (the plural of “trullo”) are dry stone, conical rooved huts which are typical of and specific to the Italian region of Apulia. This “trullo” was built in 1850 and has been newly renovated in order to maintain its original identity. It is located in the centre of an extremely large (approximately a hectare) and secluded area, and surrounded by nature of spectacular beauty and centuries old olive trees. It is the ideal place for holidays with friends and family in search of contact with the environment of the Mediterranean. The location provides for comfortable evenings and nights, even in the hottest months. Internally, the “trullo” is always fresh, even during the hottest hours of the day. The property is composed of two completely independent bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and shower (50 m2). There is even a barbeque in the patio. Furthermore, the “trullo” is protected by a monitored alarm system.
The beautiful sandy beaches of the Nature Reserve of Torre Guaceto are just 15 km away, and can be reached comfortably by car. Here, you can find free beaches, or you can rent an umbrella and deck chair, and leave your vehicle at a monitored car park. Meanwhile, the magnificent beaches of the Ionic Coast are only 40 km away: among the places most famous for their beauty are Porto Cesareo, the Nature Reserve of Porto Selvaggio and Gallipoli.

A unique place to stay

We loved the rustic nature of the house in its own grounds and spent time sitting out on the terrace. We adapted quickly to the ways of the house, which had everything we needed. Luigi who looked after us could not have done more. The weather was very windy and we had a big thunderstorm, that's the only thing that was a downside.

Vacanza bellissima

E’ un posto unico, immerso tra gli ulivi, tranquillissimo sia di giorno che di notte. Il trullo e’ ristrutturato molto bene, il giardino e’ curatissimo, e dentro e’ molto fresco anche con 40 gradi fuori! I proprietari sono simpatici e sempre disponibili per dare indicazioni sulle spiagge, su dove mangiare, su come muoversi in generale anche al telefono, sono informatissimi su tutta la Puglia! La mattina in base ai venti si puo’ scegliere se andare sul Mar Adriatico (consigliatissima la Riserva Naturale di Torre Guaceto a pochi chilometri) o sul Mar Ionio (Punta Prosciutto e dintorni), non saprei dire quale spiaggia sia piu’ bella, il mare e’ bellissimo. Anche Mesagne ha un bel centro storico. Questo trullo e’ in una posizione strategica per raggiungere sia Cisternino, Locorotondo e la Valle D’Itria che il basso Salento con Lecce, Gallipoli e Otranto. Insomma location consigliatissima!

Una bellissima proprietà tutta per noi in un angolo di campagna tra gli ulivi in posizione strategica per la costa adriatica e per la costa ionica. Abitare un vero trullo dotato di ogni comfort è un esperienza affascinante, grazie a Manuela per le precise indicazioni e arrivederci. Roberto

Un gros défaut qui gâche l'ensemble de la prestation

Sur le papier, ce trullo a tout pour plaire : des bâtiments joliment rénovés (cependant gros problème d'humidité dans la dépendance mais qui devrait être rapidement réglé selon le propriétaire), propriétaires charmants et disponibles, grand jardin, situation au milieu des oliveraies... Le gros point noir concerne la localisation : effectivement c'est très calme en journée mais le soir c'est l'enfer. Il faut savoir qu'à 500 mètres du trullo, se situe un hôtel (la Tenuta Moreno) qui a fait de sa spécialité l'organisation de mariages. La musique à partir de minuit est insupportable, comme si le DJ était dans le jardin. Nous avons eu des soirées organisées 80% de notre séjour dont 3 nuits pendant lesquelles on n'a quasiment pas pu dormir. Nous avons prévenu le propriétaire (captures audio à l'appui) qui s'est montré désolé pour nous, nous a dit que cela arrivait pour la 1ère fois et nous a proposé d'écourter notre séjour contre remboursement de la durée restante (impossible en pleine saison de retrouver une location) C'est vraiment dommage car c'est effectivement très calme en journée et ce défaut nous a grandement gâché notre séjour.

Mauvais séjour

Les images sont hélas plus belles que la réalité. Confort et équipement intérieur rudimentaires, literie faite de "clic clac" inconfortables, exiguïté de la 2 chambre(ou il n'y a quasiment aucun rangement pratique), 2éme lit se trouvant dans la cuisine/salle à manger du "trullo", bref rien qui justifie le prix demandé. Cerise sur le gâteau, bien que situé en pleine campagne, nous avons été dérangé par les très sonores festivités nocturnes (une fois jusqu'à 3 heures du matin) se tenant dans un hôtel situé à proximité! Bref, nous déconseillons cette location.

Fascinoso è bello come le immagini pubblicate, posizione comoda, proprietari simpatici e disponibili

Punto strategico per spostarsi sulle due coste a seconda del vento, ideale anche per visitare località non balneari che meritano una sosta. La notte silenziosa immersi negli uilivi è un'esperienza unica. Anche la vicina Mesagne è carina.

We can truly recommend this place.

It was a incredibly good and positive experience for us and we have really enjoyed spending 10 days of vacation in this traditional Apulian hut. The trullo is located on a big lot with a beautiful garden with old olives trees. The property is out of a town but close to a highway. The owners are very helpful and easygoing people. If you are looking for a privacy and if you want to explore the Salento Peninsula the trullo is a very good choice. Alina and Andrzej

Trullo très agréable - Idéal pour visiter les pouilles

Malgré les températures élevées, nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce trullo (qui conserve bien la fraicheur), situé au milieu d'un oliveraie. Beaucoup de choses à voir ou à faire aux alentours (plages, visites etc...). Plage de Samana vraiment superbe coté mer ionienne. Propriétaires sympas et réactifs. Bref une semaine de dépaysement total !

L'idéal pour des vacances réussies

Une excellente impression dès notre arrivée lorsque nous avons aperçu le trullo. C'est beau et bien entretenu. A la visite, ma première impression n'était pas trompeuse, j'ai de suite su que nous allions passer une excellente semaine. Le trullo est au milieu des oliviers magnifiques , et à perte de vue que des oliviers centenaires. A cinq minutes de voiture se trouve Mesagnes, petite ville pleine de charme ou vous trouverez tout ce qu'il faut. Situation idéale pour visiter les Pouilles . Merci aux propriétaires pour leurs bonnes indications et la qualité de leur accueil. Laurent

Superbe!

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine à Mesagne. Émerveillés dès notre arrivée par le trullo qui se dessine au milieu des oliviers. Un vrai dépaysement . Merci à Manuella et Pier d'avoir laissé un télescope pour observer le magnifique ciel étoilé. Le trullo est idéalement situé pour découvrir les Pouilles. Laurent et Erika

L'Italie authentique et tranquille

Nous avons passés 15 jours , dans le trullo ( habitation traditionnelle et originale) avec nos trois enfants(9, 7 ans et 17 mois ) . Les 2 parties du trullo sont très fonctionnelles et parfaites pour une famille. Les 2 salles de bains sont vraiment appréciables , tout est bien équipé. La situation est exceptionnelle , au milieu d'une oliveraie , un jardin immenses et clos magique le soir quand il s'illumine . La plage la plus proche est à une grosse demi heure , mais la situation du trullo est idéal pour rayonner entre mer adriatique et mer ionienne et visiter le salento. Ne faites pas l'impasse sur Mesagne qui ne figure pas forcément dans les guides mais qui vaut vraiment le coup . Les pouilles sont une région encore peu envahie par les touristes étrangers avec de belles villes à visiter et de belles plages . Les propriétaires sont extrêmement gentils et feront tout pour que votre séjour soit une Réussite .

Spacious and private in the midst of olive trees

We loved staying in a trullo and still have all modern conveniences, but luckily no internet or TV. And if you are a food lover Manuela is happy to give you great tips, we as critical people were not disappointed! We were there with our 2,5 year old daughter and she was more than happy. A lot of nice towns near by, for example Ostuni, Lecce (we loved Lecce!) Nice beach too, 25 minutes by car. They went to great lengths to make us comfortable without ever seeing them except at the start and the end. We would love to go again.

Relax e riservatezza garantiti

abbiamo trascorso una bellissima vacanza! Il trullo corrisponde in tutto alla descrizione dell'annuncio, fornito di tutto il necessario e molto curato nei particolari (interno, esterno, luci ecc.); adatto per chi vuole visitare il Salento, si trova in posizione ottimale per le coste adriatica e ionica (anche se in posizione parecchio isolata). Molto gentili e disponibili i proprietari; consigliamo questa sistemazione a chi volesse vivere una vacanza attiva ma con un approdo serale molto piacevole e tranquillo!

Colori e suoni della magica Puglia!!

Per chi ama la vacanza a contatto con la natura, i suoi colori, i suoi profumi, i suoi suoni, non c'è nulla di meglio che un soggiorno nel suggestivo trullo di Manuela Morleo a Mesagne. Immerso in un magico uliveto, finemente ristrutturato e arredato con gusto. Mio marito ed io vi abbiamo trascorso una stupenda settimana all'insegna della pace e del relax, senza rinunciare, però, a delle interessanti escursioni. Il trullo si trova infatti in una posizione strategica da cui siamo partiti alla volta di Alberobello, Ostuni, Cisternino, Ceglie. Ci ha sorpreso la stessa cittadina di Mesagne con il suo castello, la sua torre , il suo centro storico ( e perchè no? i suoi ristoranti...). Infine, percorrendo pochi chilometri, abbiamo raggiunto la splendida riserva naturale di Torre Guaceto sull'Adriatico e la deliziosa località di Porto Cesareo sullo Ionio. La scelta del mare dipende dallo spirare del vento!!! (così ci ha suggerito Manuela!). Siamo partiti, ma tanto c'era ancora da vedere. Sarà un motivo in più per ritornare?

Super Trullo - Propriétaires super sympas

Le trullo est génial. La restauration du Trullo est très réussie aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Un éclairage externe au sol et du parc donne un charme tout particulier le soir. Vous allez vous trouver seuls au monde en toute sécurité. Le terrain est entièrement clos et sous alarme. On a même vu les agents de sécurité venir nous voir car nous avions déclenché sans le faire exprès l'alarme. Quant à Manuela et son mari, ils sont adorables et ne savent pas quoi faire pour que votre séjour soit des plus agréables, conseils sur la région, les restaus, tout ce que l'on peut faire, voir, brefs, un vrai plaisir. Alors, si vous cherchez un trullo dans les pouilles, ne cherchez plus, vous l'avez trouvé. Séjour en couple en août 2O13.

Vacanza 5/5

Che dire...è stata una esperienza fantastica in tutti i sensi, i proprietari Manuela e Pierfrancesco sono davvero gentilissimi. Siamo stati accolti nel trullo con una gustosissima frisa condita con un ottimo olio prodotto con le olive che circondano il trullo. Il trullo poi è davvero suggestivo, arredato con gusto, dotato di tutti i comfort, pulito ed ordinato. La sera, non si può assolutamente perdere l'occasione di fare un aperitivo o una cena sotto la veranda al fresco. per quanto riguarda il mare, la riserva naturale di torre Guaceto è a soli 15 Km, facilmente raggiungibile dal trullo in 20 minuti attraversando uno spettacolare sentiero immerso negli ulivi secolari. Mentre a mezz'ora di macchina è possibile raggiungere il mare cristallino di Punta Prosciutto o Porto Cesareo. Per quanto riguarda la città di Mesagne sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dal suo bellissimo centro storico pieno di locali. In conclusione l'esperienza nel trullo è sicuramente da rifare, impossibile da descrivere in poche parole. Per questo consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che vogliono fare un'esperienza nuova e non convenzionale, di non perdere l'occasione di soggiornare nel trullo di Manuela e Pierfrancesco!!!

"La nostra settimana pres...

"La nostra settimana presso il trullo risale ormai a settembre 2012 e ne abbiamo un ricordo splendido. Di grande impatto scenografico sia all''esterno sia all''interno, la struttura è spartana e immersa tra gli ulivi della campagna intorno a Mesagne. La posizione consente di visitare le coste (imperdibile la riserva di Torre Guaceto sull''Adriatico, senza dimenticare le spiagge di Punta Prosciutto sullo Ionio ) e i centri storici di questo angolo di Puglia (Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino per citarne solo alcuni). Un ricordo su tutti: fichi e fichi d''India raccolti dalle piante del giardino e mangiati sul momento a colazione. Grazie ancora a Manuela, Francesca e ai loro genitori, sempre disponibili, gentili e prodighi di ottimi consigli (gastronomici e non). Dulcis in fundo: da non perdere una serata al ristorante Cibus di Ceglie."

Un grand Merci à Manuela et son mari pour les super conseils touristiques et gastronomiques!
