Trullo Solari is a luxury property set in 5 acres of peaceful countryside, just 2km from Ceglie Messapica in Puglia, Southern Italy. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms you have all the space you need to enjoy a holiday with friends and/or family, yet still retain privacy. All bedrooms are part of the house yet also have access to the gardens. This major restoration project has recently been completed. Come and enjoy the sunshine, friendly people and delicious food, and find out why more and more people are recommending Puglia to their friends. The property has been designed to be beautiful, comfortable and environmentally friendly. Solar power is used for hot water and heating the house in winter, and waste water is re-used (please use the organic bodycare products provided). In cooler months, underfloor heating and the wood-burning stove will keep you warm. The trullo’s traditional thick walls and high ceilings keep it cool in summer. The surrounding grounds are maintained organically.

Guest comments
We've loved everything about being here...
We are so relaxed and peaceful. We loved it all, from rooftop to pool. Lovely place, thank you!
We have had a lovely time here at Trullo Solari! Started with a midnight swim the night we got here and that set the mood right for a week of swimming, tanning, exploring the area, pizza baking and gelato eating!
Our time in Italy and Trullo Solari has been brilliant. The swimming pool and the villa are gorgeous! We all especially enjoyed the pizza oven, the results were delicious!
Trullo Solari has been sympathetically and cleverly renovated providing luxurious accomodation with a respect for the environment. C & K have been great, friendly and informative - nothing too much trouble! Would love to return.

About the owner
After purchasing Trullo Solari and commencing the restoration, we got so excited about Puglia that we moved here! We love to share Trullo Solari and Puglia with guests, and help you make the most of their holiday. We live about 20mins from Trullo Solari, so are on hand if you have any problems, or just need a restaurant reservation, a pizza cooking lesson or some translation!
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We love Puglia, the people, weather, food and wine! We broke all the rules when we bought Trullo Solari; acted on instinct and bought on the first visit! Luckily everything has worked out, and our architect helped turn the property's charms into luxurious modern living.
There are many things that we didn't appreciate when we bought the property such as the peace and privacy, and the wonderful green views. As I said, we really did get lucky.
Unique benefits of the property
When we renovated Trullo Solari we opened up the entire back of the house to allow natural light to enter.
This is something that many traditional trulli miss out on, as they were built to keep the weather out. The french windows at the back of the house are 8 metres long and lead out to a terrace and then the pool.
Another great thing about Trullo Solari that many visitors have commented on is that there are lots of areas to use, the pool terrace, the front dining terrace, the private lemon patio, the roof terrace and the chill deck. This, and the fact that every bedroom has a door leading directly to the outside (as well as internal) means that even if you are with a large group, you can always find some peace and privacy.
