Trullo di Amore Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
Nestled within olive groves and surrounded by rolling countryside close to the small town of Cisternino, Trullo di Amore offers a blissfully-relaxing holiday experience. This traditional trullo is the perfect, authentic, country retreat for exploring Puglia’s picturesque villages, towns and beaches.
With whitewashed walls, earthy shades and furnishings made from natural materials, staying at Trullo di Amore feels like being at one with the local landscapes. Local stone floors and tiles are found throughout, enhancing the sense of heritage and history. Modern features add touches of luxury and style, such as stunning art works, handmade pieces of furniture and glass sliding doors.
The accommodation is set over the main trulli level and also a beautifully-restored lower level. The living area with contemporary fireplace invites you in with its rustic, cosy feel and glimpses of the views over the olive tree-studded gardens. There’s a sofa sat on raised beds of stone as a delightful touch, and is ideally located next to the well-equipped, characterful kitchen. Enjoy meals in style at the olive-wood dining table that seats up to 10 guests (8 adults and 2 children).
The four double bedrooms are all beautifully designed for helping you drift off into peaceful sleep. Lovely extra touches are the handmade wooden beds and artfully-selected pieces of furniture. The bedroom on the lower level also features a double sofa bed and doors that take you into the outside space with a small seating area. There are two family shower rooms to both unwind and invigorate in luxury.
The grounds that Trullo di Amore sits within are extensive and are typical of Puglia country living. Traditional dry-stone walls encircle the property and its gardens full of ancient olive and almond trees. Found around the trulli are plenty outdoor seating areas, with a wooden gazebo being home to a dining area with brick barbecue that overlooks the swimming pool. Sun loungers offer you the chance to chill out whilst taking in the lush surrounding scenery.
You have walks right on your doorstep here, with lots of quaint villages to stumble upon as you go. The sleepy, hilltop town of Cisternino is less than 10 minutes away by car and is full of whitewashed houses and an old town centre.
The famous city of Ostuni, with all its historic sightseeing opportunities, is also a short drive away. Also visit the towns of Alberobello and Martina Franca. You can also easily reach the Adriatic coast from Trullo di Amore and its sandy beaches.Despite being deeply tucked-away in the lush countryside, getting to many fascinating places in the area is easy. Picturesque Cisternino is the closest town to Trullo di Amore, with it taking less than 10 minutes to reach by car. Here you’ll find a range of amenities, such as restaurants, bars, shops and even a cinema.
Cisternino is a pretty, laidback town with a virtually untouched old town. It features whitewashed houses, ancient churches and a central piazza that offers stunning views over the countryside. There are buildings from many centuries to marvel at, including the 13th-century Norman-Swabian tower and the baroque Church of San Cataldo.
Known as ‘The White City’, Ostuni (14 km), is a great place to enjoy a day of historical sightseeing and soaking up local culture. Ostuni gets its alternative name from the whitewashed buildings that make up the old town area. Wander through its labyrinthine streets and come across ancient sites of interest as you go, such as the 15th-century cathedral and city walls. There’s also a fresh fruit and vegetable market on Saturdays, and the vibrant Cavalcata di Sant’Oronzo festival held over several days at the end of August each year.
The Ostuni coast is dotted with lovely beaches, including Quarto di Monte (25 km), with its sandy stretch and calm swimming conditions. The expansive parkland of Parco Dune Costiere is around 7 km west of the beach and features a range of wildlife and natural habitats. Walk around sand dunes, wetlands and inland olive groves. You can also cycle along pretty trails and take dips in the sea.
