Restored Trullo Farmhouse With Pool In Idyllic Location
A Magical Property With Stunning Views Over Open Countryside To The Sea
Sleeps 8/12 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Trullo San Marco is a delightful, recently restored traditional trullo with a pool, sleeping up to 12 people in 4/6 bedrooms (plus double sofa bed and cot). A magical property with the most amazing views over open countryside to the sea. It is on the edge of the little village of San Marco and also near fascinating old towns with good restaurants and only about 20 minutes from the sea. Providing a perfect solution for two families or a larger family or group. This is an unusual villa as although it is one complete property, it has a converted coach house with high barrel vaulted ceiling so is more spacious and lighter than trulli normally are. All the original features have been preserved. Good area for cycling (bike hire available) and walking. This lovely villa is situated in a small village in the countryside where you can buy fresh bread on a Sunday morning and is also near the larger town of Locorotondo (officially listed as 'one of the most beautiful small towns in Italy').

Why the owner chose a home in this location
When we decided to buy a holiday home we thought long and hard about all the lovely places we'd enjoyed visiting and Puglia - especially the Itria valley came out top. Beautiful countryside, fascinating old towns, every kind of beach, food and wine and friendly people - it ticks all the boxes.
Unique benefits of the property
While its a beautifully restored old trullo house which oozes character it's also unusually spacious so that different family groups can spread out in their own parts of the house. Also, its one structure so that no one has to cross a courtyard to get to the bedrooms as is sometimes the case with larger trullo properties. The location is spectacular with views across olive groves and woodland to the sea. Despite the tranquility of the setting it's just a five minute walk to an authentic Puglian village with friendly generous neighbours, shops, a bar, a good restaurant/pizzeria and open-air Friday night dances in the school yard.
