Trulli Tranquil

Trulli Tranquil: Apulia

Enjoy a unique stay at this historic trullo in the white-washed town of Alberobello. The traditional Apulian hut home has been updated and expanded with 21st-century living in mind, creating a special medley of ancient stone features and contemporary home comforts.

The past shines through every corner of the living area, which shows off the original exposed stone walls and rises into a conical ceiling, where the cosy mezzanine bedroom is tucked away. The modern kitchen and dining area provides a tasteful contrast, leading to a private garden with a flourishing olive tree. Spend sunny days laying back on the loungers and soaking up the magic of this centuries-old home.

Wander into the heart of Alberobello to see more examples of this distinctive architecture, transformed into lively eateries and craft shops that create a welcoming atmosphere. If you've travelled by car, it's worth making the forty-five-minute drive to Ostuni, a famous hilltop city known for its blend of Gothic, Romanesque and Byzantine elements.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*You'll need to climb a relatively narrow staircase to reach the mezzanine bedroom
*There isn't a huge amount of storage space in this home, so we recommend packing light
