Trullo Torre Suda

Trullo Torre Suda: Apulia

Feel the weight of history coursing through the sturdy stone walls of this charming Puglian trullo home. Its interior is dotted with original rustic features that point to this home's humble origins, with exposed stone walls, a decorative open hearth in the kitchen and antique pieces with a story to tell.

This all sits in stark contrast with the gorgeous whitewashed outdoor spaces, where you'll while away endless afternoons relaxing in the dappled shade by the private whirlpool, taking refreshing dips in the shared saltwater pool, and tucking into light lunches in covered dining areas.

Named for the watchtower that once helped protect the coast from invaders, the nearby crystal-clear waters of Torre Suda's rocky shores are a haven for swimmers and snorkellers, while the nearest sandy beach can be found just a few minutes from Mancaversa. Further north, it's well worth exploring the maze-like streets of the Gallipoli's isolated old town, connected to the mainland via a 16th-century bridge.
