About this property

Completely restored in 2017 and tastefully decorated, Trullo La Gioia is a stunning five-cone trullo which sleeps 6 (2 doubles + 1 double/twin, all with en-suite shower rooms).

Trullo La Gioia is located 8 km from the atmospheric town of Ceglie Messapica and 10 km from the beautiful town of Ostuni (known as "la città bianca"). Both of these towns are well served by excellent restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, weekly outdoor markets, etc. The nearest beaches are 15 km / 30 minutes away and there are a number of charming historic towns within easy reach: Martina Franca, Cisternino, Locorotondo, and Alberobello.

In a completely rural setting, surrounded by 5 acres of olive groves and fruit trees, the trullo is the perfect place to get away from it all.

Overlooking the trullo there is an idyllic private pool with sunloungers and deckchairs with views of the surrounding countryside.

There is a spacious shaded veranda to the side of the trullo with a large dining table and a comfortable seating area with sofas and cushions. Here you can enjoy eating alfresco and relaxing with a coffee or an aperitif.

Inside there is a spacious kitchen/diner, a utility room, and a delightful living room with an open fireplace.

A truly wonderful Trullo!

We had a wonderful relaxing holiday at this Trullo. The outdoor space, pool and vista were stunning and the pictures of the indoor spaces did not do it justice. A great central location to visit many parts of Puglia. Peter & Marina were extremely helpful & approachable. We highly recommend staying at this property.

wonderful rural retreat

A stunning trullo property in the heart of Puglia. The property has been refurbished beautifully without losing the authentic Italian style.. The main house has two lovely bedrooms with en-suite and a generous sized lounge area and kitchen/diner. The third bedroom is attached with its own entrance and has a large double bed and en-suite. There is not a lot of storage space for clothes and is overall a little small. Outside there is a lovely shaded patio and eating area with BBQ and then there is the magnificent pool area which is set higher up in the very extensive grounds. We spent a lot of time at the pool and out two youngish grandchildren (7 & 4) had a whale of a time jumping splashing and just messing about. The also enjoyed Lizard spotting and playing hide and seek in the grounds. The fact that the property is very rural is its only downside as the nearest town for shopping is Ceglie Messapica which is about 8km away but that is a small price to pay for the chance to enjoy such a fantastic holiday is such a beautiful setting.

A wonderful Italian rural retreat.

A wonderful, peaceful, rural Italian retreat. The property is off the beaten track yet in an accessible location for many of the lovely sites that Puglia has to offer. We enjoyed picking the figs and almonds in the garden which went very well with the generous welcome pack provided. The photos do not do the property justice, particularly the kitchen which is actually more spacious than the website suggests. We hope to return one day.

Why they chose this property

We came on holiday to Puglia for the first time only a few years ago and loved the area so much that we decided to create a holiday home by completely restoring an old trullo. This type of farm building is unique to Puglia and we were delighted to be able to preserve a building which represents an important part of the region's cultural heritage.
