Trullo Itria | 2-Bedroom Villa in Lamie di Olimpia Metropolitan City o

Imagine stepping out of your bedroom directly onto terracotta paving, the Adriatic visible through olive groves that stretch toward the horizon. This luxury villa rental in Lamie di Olimpia sits where Puglian countryside meets coastal access—a restored trullo compound offering the kind of privacy that makes families and couples return year after year. Trullo Itria sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all on a single level, making it exceptionally accessible and intimate.

Inside Trullo Itria

The floor plan unfolds across interconnected rooms within authentic trullo structures—cone-roofed stone dwellings from the early 18th century—plus a contemporary lamia with vaulted ceilings that honours rather than disrupts the property’s agricultural heritage. Upon entry, you find yourself in a living room with comfortable seating and views toward the garden. The writing desk occupies its own nook, ideal for guests bringing work or journaling mornings with coffee in hand.

The kitchen commands attention: a properly equipped space with a central island, gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and a traditional Italian stovetop coffee maker that signals the owners’ commitment to authentic living. French doors open directly onto the garden, dissolving the boundary between cooking and outdoor dining. This is the kind of kitchen that transforms holiday meals from transactions into rituals—especially when the on-site chef service is arranged in advance.

The first bedroom features a double bed with an ensuite bathroom containing a walk-in shower, sink, WC, and bidet. The second bedroom, also with a double bed, connects to a separate guest bathroom with shower, sink, and WC. Both bedrooms occupy ground level, eliminating stairs for families with young children or anyone preferring accessible accommodation. The bathrooms combine period-appropriate materials with contemporary fixtures—rainfall showerheads and quality toiletries included.

Throughout the interiors, exposed stonework and an open fireplace anchor the aesthetic. Locally crafted textiles, handmade blankets, and artisan décor respect the building’s origins without sacrificing modern comfort: Wi-Fi reaches every room, air-conditioning maintains summer temperatures, and central heating extends the season into autumn and spring. BOSE speakers throughout allow music to accompany both quiet mornings and evening celebrations.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step beyond the threshold and the property reveals its greatest asset: an expansive landscape designed for living outdoors. The private swimming pool measures 10 metres by 4 metres with a maximum depth of 1.8 metres—shallow enough for confident children, deep enough for genuine swimming. Sun loungers position themselves poolside for afternoon languor. An outdoor shower allows rinsing off chlorine without returning indoors.

A roof terrace provides sunrise vantage points and starlit evening drinks. The pergola structures a large dining table oriented toward wooded hillsides and the distant Adriatic—the kind of view that requires no conversation, only stillness. A summer kitchen featuring a wood-fired barbecue and separate sink establishes serious outdoor cooking capability. Additional barbecue facilities cater to groups planning multiple grilled meals.

The gardens themselves repay lingering: bee-friendly plantings attract butterflies and birdsong; native shrubs and lawned areas create varied landscapes within the 2-hectare grounds. Fig and olive trees frame the approach—a sensory reminder that this land has fed people for centuries. The evening light transforms these spaces into something ineffable; the garden glows honey-gold in late afternoon, then surrenders to deep blue shadow as the sun drops toward the sea.

Location: Lamie di Olimpia and the Surrounding Area

Trullo Itria occupies one of Puglia’s most strategically positioned corners. The property sits 1 kilometre from a working village offering essentials—a small alimentari for groceries, a bar for morning espresso, and a traditional restaurant specialising in local barbecued meats. This proximity means guests can walk to supplies without driving, yet remain sheltered within countryside silence.

Locorotondo, 8 kilometres away, deserves a full morning or afternoon. This whitewashed hilltop town spirals outward from its central church, lined with trullo buildings identical in spirit to your rental’s architecture. Narrow alleyways host artisan workshops, family-run trattorias serving handmade orecchiette con cime di rapa, and wine bars where locals gather at dusk. The town sees fewer tour buses than Alberobello, preserving an authenticity that rewards wandering.

Alberobello, 17 kilometres south, claims UNESCO World Heritage status specifically for its trullo concentration. The town functions as Puglia’s cultural anchor—souvenir shops line the main piazza, museum exhibits explain trullo construction techniques and history, and cookery classes available through local operators teach Puglian pasta-making. Budget three hours minimum; most visitors stay five.

Beach access defines coastal Puglia. Torre Canne sits 20 kilometres away, offering clean sand, shallow entry suitable for children, a functional harbour, and a working lighthouse. Savelletri beach, also approximately 20 kilometres distant, hosts exclusive beach clubs with facilities, loungers, and restaurants overlooking the water. For dramatic geology and stronger beach culture, Polignano a Mare lies 30 kilometres north—a clifftop town built above sea caves, with an active town centre containing galleries, museums, and churches alongside fashionable restaurants and nightlife venues. An outdoor poetry trail winds through Polignano’s streets, adding literary dimension to your coastal walk.
