Trullo della Scrittrice is nestled in an acre of olive and fruit trees within ten minutes of Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica - Ideal for a family or two couples, but not too big for a couple looking for a bit more space.

The Trullo consists of a spacious air-conditioned living room with a well equipped open plan kitchen with two bedrooms and a spacious shower room. The airy Trullo bedroom with its king sized bed is situated in the oldest part of the property beneath the ancient trullo cones. They say sleeping here is a magical experience like being back in the womb, the Lamia bedroom provides two more beds, making the property ideal for a family or friends sharing.

Across the sun drenched terrace is the 11x5 meter saltwater pool. The perfect spot to soak up the sun or take a swim. If that's all too much why not take a book or listen to a podcast under the shady poolside gazebo.

To take away any of the stress from your arrival we provide all your linens and towels and offer a 'Welcome Basket' of local treats, plus all the essentials to get you started - so you can just unwind and relax straight away. If you can drag yourself away from this idyllic spot there are ancient towns, blue flag beaches and WWF nature reserves to explore all less than half an hour away. We have you covered with a comprehensive list of the local sites, restaurants and shops - so you don't even need to do any research!

If you'd like to try some delicious Pugliese food, cooked for you at Trullo della Scrittrice by TV chef and food writer Sophie Grigson contact her on info@trullidelicious.com - and do mention your staying with us at Trullo della Scrittrice - but do book early to avoid disappointment!

    We had a wonderful two weeks at the trullo! Absolutely beautiful with fantastic grounds and pool. The trullo is situated perfectly for access to Ostuni and the coast, as well as Ceglie and other surrounding towns. David and Francesco were extremely helpful, and it’s difficult to imagine a better place to stay in Puglia!

    David & Fran communicated promptly during booking process. The welcome pack was nothing like we have seen before. The property and surrounding spaces oozed style and flair. Great location to have peace but 30 minutes max away from many amazing towns.

    We had an amazing time in Francesco and David’s trulli house. The house itself is idyllic along with the garden and pool. Very well situated for all the local towns and villages. Also, David and Francesco were fabulous hosts who recommend so many nice places to visit and to eat and drink.

    We spent a week relaxing and completely chilling out. There is everything you need in the property which is very tastefully furnished and wonderfully cool! Outside, the pool is large and beautifully landscaped, and there are lots of different outdoor areas to waft around in. We went to the market, and we spent some evenings strolling round local towns and eating out. Exactly what we had hoped for. David and Francesco are charming hosts.

    The property and the hosts were absolutely amazing! It was our first time staying in Puglia and we couldn't have wished for anything more. David and Fran were outstanding hosts who went out of their way to make sure we had the best holiday. We were 15 minutes from town and had access to everything we needed. The property is first class and fulfilled everything we were looking for. We highly recommend staying there and would recommend the property to anyone looking for an authentic stay close to the outstanding town of Ostuni!

    a very well decorated and functional house with all the necessary equipments, a garden conducive to farniente where everyone can have his own space and privacy , delicious figs you can pick in the trees, a huge piscine and an area from which you can reach easily the hot spots of Puglia. And of course, the kindness of David and Francesco, thanks for taking care, share your addresses and bring these great cakes ☺️We will love to come back ??♥️

    We had a wonderful stay and David, and Francesco are fantastic hosts. We arrived late to be greeted with a bountiful hamper of local goodies, pastas, sauces, wine and kids treats, which were a godsend for tired little travellers. Being able to stay in an original Trulo was a real privilege. The property is stunning, inside and out. It’s in a wonderful quiet location, hidden away, but only 15 mins drive from beautiful Ostuni, and the other lovely towns in the Itria Valley are all within an easy drive. We took up their advice on the best places to eat and best beach clubs to visit, which were all great, but If we’d had more time, we were all agreed that we would have liked to have spent even more time just lounging around the pool and cooking fresh fish on the outdoor grill. Next time!! This is a really special place and we can’t wait to visit again.

    We arrived late afternoon to find our hosts, David and Francesco had stocked the fridge with enough food - wine, pasta, salad (truss tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber), cheese, milk as well as breakfast cereal, biscuits etc for a few days. Our trullo was set in an olive grove along with wild apple and pear trees, and it was so quiet we could hear the bees buzzing around the lavender, climbing roses and jasmine. We felt very spoilt with our own private pool and many different seating areas to enjoy a wine in the evening. It’s only around 10 minutes drive into Ostuni, but a good idea to hire a car so you can explore the nearby towns. We dined in Ostuni one night - there’s heaps of restaurants, but enjoyed also having dinner at home. Enjoyed the whole experience of the trullo and would love to go back sometime. Thank you David and Francesco.

    What a special week we had at David and Fran’s trullo. The property is beautiful and very, very peaceful, the swimming pool and outside areas are a dream, our only regret is not staying longer! The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, we really didn’t want for anything. And the welcome basket is so well thought through, you really don’t need to go to the store! The hosts are fantastic. I was so grateful how flexible they were as we booked pre Covid, and they were nothing but gracious when we weren’t sure if we could make it. So glad we did! Can’t recommend the property enough! Thank you David and Francesco!
