It belongs to a little area in Apulia, almost 30 km among the towns of Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino e Ceglie Messapica.

In the beautiful countryside of the center of Apulia, where the Salento area ends and the Itria Valley begins we will host you in our 5 cones Trullo (singular of Trulli) where we live.

THE AREA

We moved here 3 years ago in this quietful place with our cats. Here we produce by ourselves the necessary for us and our guests every year, first of all the extravergin olive oil.

The Itria Valley is well-known all over the world not only for its beauty and the uniqueness of the “Macchia mediterranea” (Maquis shrubland or Mediterranean forest) but also for its positive energy. This last aspect was the reason for lot of people from everywhere to move to live in the area, as well lots of associations are based here and it was chosen to biult the first Induism Temple in Europe, between Cisternino and Ostuni.

THE EXPERIENCE

We will discover the history of these magic buildings, the known as well the unknown history, their legendary origins, the way in which they where built and our old parents and farmers’ typical day. In a walk that will take us back to centuries ago, we will explore the house looking for the many signs of old times, signs of the passage of the ancestors.

Some anticipations:

Our Trullo-house was probably built at the end of the 18th century but it has many secrets that we will reveal you during the tour…

The Trullo is also stricly connected to our landascape and territory and the particular geo-morphology of our land, a particular morphology that made these buildings exist. But their ancestral origins come far away from here…
