Authentic Trulli with Heated Private Pool near Ostuni | Masseria Paradiso

We loved this Trulli property - the house, the huge grounds and especially the huge pool. The owner Patrizia looked after us very well. And she suggested good local shops and restaurants.

Patrizia's house is beautiful, everything, both inside and outside, has been maintained with care. Puglia is a nice region, not as busy as the more famous Italian regions.

Really enjoyed this trullo. the pool area is great with lots of places to relax.

This house is so tastefully designed. A true gem. Garden and interior are perfect for young children. Also the location is close to the cutest cities. Wifi signal and all mentioned amenities are 5*. And thanks to the fantastic host Patrizia we were ensured of a splendid stay. We all want to come back to Trulli dello Gelso Rosso.

This Trulli are a perfect place to relax. The garden with a lot of facilities is extraordinary.

We enjoyed our stay

Great to return to Puglia and the trullo is well located with easy access to Ceglie and Carovigno as well as Ostuni. Very quiet location yet close to these towns. Property was well stocked, very clean and as described. Patrizia was lovely in introducing the property and also checked in via whatsapp a few days later to make sure we were ok. Sabrina who lives locally was also helpful with a very smooth and easy end of rental check out process. You need a car for this holiday of course but is great for seaside access as well with quiet beaches in the month of May and likely June- sea already warm enough. We loved the trullos multiple outdoor space. One thing to note that, of the 3 bedrooms, one is independent and not connected to living area. Worked well for us though. Thank you Patrizia and Sabrina. Would be happy to stay here again for a lovely family holdiay

We were a group of three couples staying at Patrizia's country trulli. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. We met the lovely Sabrina in Cegli Messapica and followed her to to the trulli down lovely stone wall flanked lanes and olive groves, until we reached the trulli. The trulli itself is gorgeous - beautifully appointed, with every little thing thought of in order to make a comfortable and beautiful stay. The kitchen is fully stocked - even though it is small, we could still manage to get three of us in there. Internet is good everywhere on the property. There are three lovely ensuited bedrooms, although one of them is quite a bit smaller than the other two. That was not a problem though, as we spent 99% of our time outside in any of the many beautiful spots to sit.The pool is gorgeous, and we ate our breakfasts and evening meals outside every night if we were home. It was hard to decide to go exploring away from the trulli, because we loved just staying on the property! We had Sabrina and her mother in law come one evening to demonstrate the cooking of a typical Puglian meal - we tried our hand at pasta making.....we need more practice to keep up with Enza! It was a lovely time with those two charismatic women, and the meal was delicious. I hope to return to Patrizia's trulli and would recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable, quiet and visually lovely vacation home away from home. Thank you!

What a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the laid-back Apulian lifestyle. Our week-long stay at the trulli started with an afternoon sitting in the back gardens watching far off thunderstorms roll over the olive groves, and enjoying a roaring fire set between cozy reading nooks. The rest of the week was just as charming. There were only two of us and we enjoyed having the space, but the property would be well suited for several couples or a family. The pool was in excellent repair and we used it daily (and at night, it’s lovely lit up). The kitchen was small but well equipped, perfect for one cook. The bed was very firm, not my preference but comfortable all the same. The bathroom was simple and fine. There was a slightly damp smell in the building, it had rained a lot before we arrived. It didn’t bother us, we had the windows open, but someone with allergies might have minded. Remember to add soap and shampoo to your packing list. WiFi was very good and reached out to the pool, we couldn’t find any English channels on the TV but didn’t miss it. We made good use of the outdoor barbecue pit set beneath an old olive tree, just because we could. The mosquitos were bad, but we had spray, and wine. As far as location, the trulli is tucked into a flat, rural-feeling neighbourhood of acreage properties, very quiet but for a neighbour’s dog. It's perfectly situated for day trips to Puglia's highlights. Ceglie Messapica is a sleepy stunner of a town worth exploring for foodies, just about a 10 minutes drive away, full of restaurants from family style to trendy cafes to Michelin starred, and Ostuni has a Saturday market, a fishmonger, and a well stocked supermarket where we picked up lots of local product. Sabrina was great, very attentive and accessible, and Patrizia was also good to deal with throughout the booking process. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful and sensitive conversion, with stone finishes, stone basins and small touches inside and outside that feel just right. The dining and lounge areas were fine for 6 people. The narrow galley kitchen took a bit of getting used to, but it was so well-equipped that we were still finding new things at the end of the week! There is a good amount of seating space outside, enough for people to disappear off into a corner if they want to read a book or listen to some music, while the others chat. The pool is lovely, a good size for proper swimmers, and was still warm enough at the beginning of October to swim in. The property is in the middle of an olive grove, surrounded by similar properties, but not at all overlooked. We enjoyed strolling round the boundary, collecting pomegranates, quinces and walnuts. It is very well located for the charming nearby towns: we visited Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Locorotondo and Alberobello (still busy at this time of year but not too bad), as well as the prehistoric excavations at Egnazia and the lovely baroque town of Lecce, which we reached by train, highly recommended. There are many restaurants in each of these locations, which we enjoyed sampling. However, there were some drawbacks. We were badly bitten by mosquitoes and some other insect that brought us out in big red patches, this despite the insect screens on every door and window. The lights kept flickering in the house as the water pump turned on and off, although we turned off the main pool supply, as Patrizia suggested. This did not matter in the day but was annoying at night. The room in the annexe is by no means as spacious and beautiful as the two main bedrooms and it was hard to get a steady temperature in its shower. But all in all, it was a most enjoyable week in a lovely property in an interesting area.
