Trulli Marvellous

Trulli Marvellous: Apulia

Lie low for a while at this traditional Trullo nestled deep within the peaceful Puglia countryside and yet just a twenty-minute drive to the white-sands of the coast.

An astonishing piece of rural architecture, this collection of dry-stone-walled-huts has been reimagined into an elegant and stylish holiday home. Beneath its cool, conical roofs, elegant muted furnishings bring all the style, while the occasional pops of blue remind us Puglia's coast is never far away.

Boasting a separate guest suite that sleeps four, there's heaps of space to all spill out here. But when the sun is shining, it's outside where we think you'll be spending most of your time.

Beat the heat in the sublime swimming pool fringed with fruit trees. Come together for lazy Mediterranean feasts and barbecues beneath the shady pergola. Or explore the home's grounds - the views over the earthy red terrain sprinkled with olive groves are sublime.

When it's time to soak up the local culture, you'll be off to a flying start in Alberobello (fifteen-minute drive) to explore its 1500 beehive-shaped Trulli houses sprinkled with bars and shops. Or, for a taste of the sea, head to the ancient harbour town of Monopoli (a twenty-minute drive). Amid its narrow streets tracing down to a delightful port, you'll discover some of the best seafood restaurants around.
