A trullo is a traditional Puglian property built from local limestone, with dry stone walls and characteristic conical roofs. My trullo has 5 cones. Trulli were built in the 1700s and 1800s for workers on the land belonging to a local masseria (farmhouse) and are found only in this part of Italy.

Rennovated trulli, such as mine, have had the cones and original building restored by skilled craftsmen called trullista and have usually been enlarged slightly. The property is in a conservation area, so there are strict rules about how this can be done sympathetically and traditionally. The trullo was restored about 25 years ago by an Italian family who owned it. As it is an old property it will never be as immaculate or convenient as a hotel or modern villa, but it is a family home away from home and a unique Italian experience.

The front of the house, with kitchen and living area, is in the original part of the property under the cones, as is one of the bedrooms. The other bedrooms and bathrooms at the back are in a more modern extension, but this still has dry stone walls and traditional features.

Trulli stay cooler in Summer because of the thick walls and small windows, and are warmer in Winter. However, they can get a bit damp in Winter (winters in the hills of Puglia can get very cold) and central heating and fires are needed.

At the front of the house is space to park cars. One side is mostly shaded by pine trees. The other has a large sunny terraced area with a private 10 x 5m Infinity swimming pool leading off, surrounded by smaller shrubs and fruit trees.

By the main door there is a large area for sitting and dining which has a planted area and is shaded. Down near the fence is a grapevine and mulberry bush.

At the back of the house stretches the olive grove, down to a second gate and drive. Also here is the pizza oven. There is always lots of wood on the property you can collect, if you want to use this as a barbecue or to try your hand at home made pizza. The large paved area jutting out at the back is another cisterna which collects rain water for use on the garden. This area is a real sun trap for a quiet place to sit enjoying the olive trees. Next to this is a variety of fruit trees, including apples, cherries and figs.

The main bedroom at the front of the house has a double bed and space for hanging clothes.

The twin room at the back of the house has twin beds and a small set of drawers.

The small bedroom has a bed that pulls out to be a double bed, or can be pushed away to make a single bed and save space. There is a small chest of drawers and some shelves here.

The sofa in the lounge also folds out to a double sofa bed if more sleeping space is needed. There is a travel cot in the main bedroom.

The trullo is equipped for a family holiday and is ideal if you are holidaying with children of all ages. There is a travel cot for babies and an extensible single/double bed for toddlers, plus a twin room for older children. There is also a fully equipped kitchen, including microwave and children’s crockery and cutlery. There is a selection of DVDs and indoor toys for younger children you can borrow, plus a range of outdoor and beach toys. The property is secure from the road so children can play in the garden. Children will, of course, need continuous supervision near the pool which is open to the property.

    We were a family of 6 and stayed for a week. The trullo was a very nice family style place with a fantastic pool and ideal location near Martina Franca, Alberobello and Locorotondo. Giuseppe and Anna made sure that any detail that needed taking care of was promptly addressed. Great hosts!!!!

    Just back from a fantastic trip to Puglia staying at Trullo Pietro. The trullo was in a central location making it easily accessible to all the popular towns. A car is essential as there are so many places to see. The trullo has everything you need for a perfect base.

    Perfectly clean and simple trulli. Great communication with owner and manager. Location was perfect for exploring beautiful local towns and both Ionian and Adriatic coasts not far away. It was very very hot during our stay so swimming pool was amazing.

    The Trullo was delightful and was everything we expected. It provided an excellent base for exploring the many wonderful sites and sounds of this fabulous part of Italy. The property came into its own as the temperature increased and we made full use of the excellent pool. Our first experience of rural Italian living did not disappoint. Thanks to our hosts Luci, Guiseppe and Anna.

    We had a fantastic time at Trullo Pietro. We stayed with our 3 year old and 10 month old. The accommodation was perfect as the rooms were well expect for us and the kids, there were all the family touches that made our stay easy such as child seat, baby cot, bath and plenty of toys for both the inside and outside. Our 3 year old particularly enjoyed patrolling the driveway on the scooter and being in and out the pool all day. The pool itself was lovely but as we knew, you must keep an eye on the little ones when outside or when the door is open as there’s nothing stopping them accessing the pool. The grounds are beautiful and vast if you take the time to walk around the perimeter. The location of the trullo is easy to find with google maps and within easy striking distance of Martina Franca, Alberobello, Ostuni and Locorotondo. Expect peaceful lazy days by the pool and beautiful evening strolls in the local towns. Beach days are within easy reach if you choose which we didn’t haven’t already spent 8 days on the coast before arriving here as part of our overall Puglia adventure.

    We loved this property, full of character, comfortable and cosy. The only thing that would have improved it for us would have been a full sized bath (we are a very tall family though). Puglia is beautiful with many beautiful places to visit, we loved Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Alberobello & especially Matera. Anna was incredibly welcoming & helpful & there is loads of useful information about the area in the house. Would definitely recommend this property

    Thank you Cheryl for the warm welcome and the nice week we spent at Trullo Pietro. The Trullo is amazingly comfortable seen its authenticity. The biggest challenge is to choose between staying at the Trullo and enjoy the pool or go the all the fantastic places around because the Trullo Pietro is also ideally located to visit cities around: no t only Martina Franca is just close by, a lot of interesting cities are within 1 hour drive (Matera, Ostuni, Alberobello, Loccorotondo, ...). We even went to Lecce that is just a bit more than 90 minutes away. Hope the next visitors will enjoy as much as we did.... F.
