About this property

Beautiful trullo with private pool in rural setting - family friendly, sleeps 6

Mandorleto is a beautiful, spacious (150m2) trullo flanked by traditional lamias and panoramic views of ancient olive groves and medieval towns perched on the hills of Valle d’Itria - a perfect holiday home for families with children of all ages. The 2 Ha (5 acres) private property with century-old olive trees, fruit trees, and local flora lies on a hill 5km from Ceglie Messapica, the gastronomic capital of Puglia. The location is peaceful, very private and only a 10-minute walk from Seppunisi farm where you can buy local mozzarellas, cheeses and other fresh dairy products 7 days a week.

A highlight is the swimming pool area overlooking the olive grove and surrounding countryside. There is a spacious terrace with 6 comfortable sun beds where you can soak up the sun or relax in the shaded gazebo on warm summer afternoons. The gazebo with a stone dining table that comfortably seats 8 overlooks the pool and courtyard in front of the trullo, making it an ideal location for both day and night entertainment.

Mandorleto was fully renovated in 2012 using traditional materials to create an authentic trullo experience with modern comforts! Small archways, hidden alcoves, and domed ceilings give a mystical ambiance that only a trullo can generate. All floors are made from ‘Trani’ marble, a honey-colored stone from local quarries. Windows have mosquito netting, traditional outer grills and shutters that can be left open at night to let in air. Walls up to 2m thick ensure that temperatures inside stay pleasantly cool during hot summer months.

Mandorleto can comfortably sleep 6. There are 3 bedrooms – 1 master bedroom with double-bed 2,10m x1,60m; 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds 1,90m x 0,80m. A baby cot and high-chair can be provided upon request. There are 2 bathrooms with walk-in showers, bidet, toilet, and washbasin. The living room with 2 sofas, lounger and fireplace is located in the main trullo. The spacious kitchen is bright and fully equipped for gourmet cooking with extra large fridge to keep drinks cool. There is a dining table that comfortably seats 6, a small seating area next to a wood burner and double-doors leading to a spacious, shaded terrace with large stone table for outdoor dining. The BBQ area is next to the terrace, a laundry room with washer & dryer is behind the kitchen, there is free Wi-Fi with strong signal throughout the house and swimming pool area. A secure parking area for 2-3 cars is located on our property.

Thank you!
We have a truly wonderful stay. The house is exactly what we needed - spacious, clean, peaceful, practical and beautifully placed in the countryside. It was fantastically helpful to be guided to the location by Hayley and Anthony (who are absolutely amazing). Our two children (6 and 8) loved every minute, as did we. Thank you!

Idyllic holiday
Fabulous property, great location for a restful time, the region is stunning, un-spoilt and local towns are beautiful. Food and wine was off the charts and so nice not to see The Red Lion or others of that ilk, just Italian through and through. Both coasts are stunning, Matera and Alborobello were amazing as was most of what we saw. The owners were very easy to deal with and the property hosts could not have been more accommodating if they had tried. The nearby pizza restaurant in the hills was charming, the food was very good, the location lovely and the staff were amazing!!! Overall a fantastic holiday, will be back in the future, could not recommend this place and region more highly!!

Fun property very well equipped
The checking in and information pre holiday was superb and we knew exactly what to expect. The Trulli are split so one end has two bedrooms and a bathroom while the other end has another bedroom and bathroom. That was great for us as for our daughter and son in law could then have some privacy. The pool was wonderful and with temperatures often mid 30's it was lovely to cool down or just have an early morning swim There is a bar b q and one of the Ceglie supermarkets has fresh fish and gave us appropriate fish to cook. It's not a very touristy part which is nice.

A piece of paradise in Puglia
As a true Puglia lover, I was on the hunt for a property which could cater to my family as I wanted to share the beauty of the region with them and Trullo Mandoreto exceeded our expectations. Ceglie Messapica is my preferred location in Puglia and this property is in the perfect location, only a short drive from the town but still amongst the beautiful olive groves and near to the local farmshop Masseria Sepunisi which was amazing for cheese, yoghurts and ham. The trullo itself was brilliant and allowed my family to have the most wonderful holiday. Robert and Ina have created a beautiful home which allows you to relax whilst enjoying the magnificent pool, views and BBQ. We particularly enjoyed how there were many seating locations which gave everyone enough space. The trullo was beautifully clean and comfortable and was the perfect setup for 6 adults sharing. We spent many nights having wonderful BBQs and watching the sunset. We highly recommend the local pizzeria which was recommended to us by the lovely Hayley and we also dined at Osteria Pugliese for a very laidback dinner as well as our usual favourite Da Frano and Relax. Special shout out to Il Brillo Parlante on Centro Storico in Ceglie Messapica which is a beautiful bar/restaurant in a historic square. Thank you so much to Robert and Ina (and Hayley!) who made our experience of staying here perfect. They are the best hosts I have ever experienced and my family are keen to return. Thank you again!

Our short stay in Puglia
Property very attractive and worked well for family of 4. Nice pool and outside space. Location good but some distance from nearest town and shops. No problem as long as you have a car. Nice couple who met us at property and were there as we left.

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Ina

Host profile image
Robert and Ina are proud owners of Trullo Mandorleto since 2010. After traveling around the world for many years we finally found our piece of paradise in Puglia that we want to share with other travellers seeking relaxation amongst olive trees and everything else this beautiful region has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with Puglia during our first visit in 2010. The color contrast of green olive trees, dark red soil and azure blue sky was spectacular. Ceglie Messapica, known locally as ‘città della gastronomia’ for its excellent cuisine, is perched on a hill and surrounded by ancient olive groves and medieval towns, an ideal location for a trullo holiday home. There are over 60 excellent restaurants serving local dishes at affordable prices within a 10 minute drive and nearby famous towns like Alberobello, Ostuni and Martina Franca as well as beautiful clean beaches, all less than a 30 minute away.

What makes this property unique

Mandorleto with its 3-cone trullo, ‘lamias’ and Mediterranean garden, perched on a hill 300m above sea level, is the home away from home we fell in love with. The 2 Ha (5 acres) property with century-old olive trees, almond trees and local flora is very private and peaceful. The swimming pool with spectacular views of Valle d’Itria, summer breeze and sound of crickets is the place to be on warm summer days and at night when the stars and milky way seem to be within arm’s reach.
