About the owner
We are lovers of the relaxed Italian lifestyle and the very good food and wine of Puglia. After purchasing Trullo Stefano in 2004, we decided to buy Casa Caterina, so we could have the best of the countryside and the town. We love to visit Cisternino and renew our acquaintances with neighbours and townsfolk, who always seem pleased to see us and invite us into their lives. We love to escape the hustle and bustle of our lives in England and enjoy the better experiences which life has to offer in Puglia. We hope that all our guests will enjoy this little haven of tranquility in a busy world and feel relaxed and replenished when they return home.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought Trullo Stefano because we love Italy and the Italians and especially the beautiful town of Cisternino and its friendly inhabitants. The area has a charm and magic of its own, unspoilt with the passage of time and this is reflected in the people who are friendly, helpful and generous of spirit.
The trullo has its own magic and charm and is just a really lovely experience for the first time and always. It seems to carry you back to an earlier age, when life was more simple and pleasurable.
The trulli nestle and blend into the landscape as though they have been there since ancient times. They are especially wonderful in the early morning sun and in the evening time. Nature is all around and the each season has its own colours and beauty.
Unique benefits of the property
There are many benefits of staying in Trullo Stefano, the privacy, being able to wonder on the land and help yourself to any fruit or produce which is in season.
The trullo stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Enjoying a barbecue on a warm summers evening or snuggling down in the trullo with the log stove burning, reading a good book.
The views of Cisternino are also spectacular. Our Italian geometer always loved the views from here, which even he as a local, said were wonderful and some of the best he had ever enjoyed.
