Trullo Lina is in an idyllic rural setting only 3k m from the centre of Alberobello, and within a 20-minute drive to Martina Franca and Locorotondo. Standing at the end of a private track, 300 metres from the public tarmacked lane, it is a haven of tranquility. Silence is only broken by bird song from the neighbouring wood and occasional tractors ploughing the land. It is the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday, away from the stresses of modern life.

Stylishly and sympathetically restored, the trullo lies within 2 hectares of olive groves, and has extensive stone terraces (600 sqm) all around with a stunning circular pool to the rear (10 metres in diametre). There are pretty shrub gardens to the front and back of the house.

Dating from the late 18th century, Trullo Lina was purchased in Spring 2013 having been abandoned for many years. Restoration was carried out by local stone masons and craftsmen using century-old skills The 'modern' extension, added during the 1950s, was demolished and rebuilt. Every effort has been made to adhere to traditional design, materials and colours without compromising on modern comforts.

Trulli have thick stone walls and conical stone roofs to keep the interior cool in summer and warm in winter. In keeping with this design, the newly-built part has thick tufo stone walls lined with white stucco on the inside, and stone vaulted ceilings All the windows and doors have been crafted by a local carpenter. They are double glazed with internal panelled shutters to keep the house cosy in winter. Traditional iron grills have been fitted to the external doors and windows. Much thought has been put into equipping the trullo as a home not just a holiday rental. All the fixtures and fittings are of a high standard, and furniture has been chosen in keeping with the style of a typical trullo, whilst also providing sufficient drawers and hanging space for guests.

Trullo Lina sleeps 8 people comfortably (or up to 10 if including small children, making use of the sofa-bed and/or cot for an infant). There are 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a sitting room with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and a large dining room. There is central heating for the winter months.

BEDROOMS
Two of the bedrooms have double beds with bedside cabinets, drawers and hanging space. The other two bedrooms each have 2 x single beds and are furnished with bedside cabinets, drawers and hanging space.

The BATHROOMS are lined with local marble, and each has a walk-in shower, large sink with mirrored cabinet, toilet and bidet.

The KITCHEN is located in one of the original 19th century cones but has all the luxuries of a 21st century kitchen; stone work surfaces, hand-built cupboards, fan-assisted electric oven, large 6-ring gas hob, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, toaster and kettle. There are ample pans and utensils, crockery, cutlery, wine glasses and tumblers to cater for 10 guests.

The DINING ROOM is spacious, light and airy with stone vaulted ceilings and French windows to the front and rear terraces. It therefore has views over the extensive undulating land to the front and the swimming pool at the back. There is a large dining table and chairs, seating 8 adults comfortably, and 10 at a squeeze.

The main entrance leads into the THE SITTING ROOM which is situated in the largest, highest cone, and has beautifully restored stone walls, wood beams and lots of nooks and crannies typical of trulli. From the door and window there are far-reaching views across the front terrace to the olive grove beyond. In the summer it stays cool, and is a welcome retreat from the hot Puglian sun. In the winter it is cosy and warm, with a log fire. There is WI-FI, a TV, a bluitooth speaker and a selection of books and DVDs for guests to enjoy.

To the exterior of the trullo are over 600 square metres of TERRACES laid with local stone and leading to the large circular SWIMMING POOL (with external shower). There is ample space around the pool for sunbathing on the sunbeds and deckchairs and there are 2 shaded areas. There is a gazbo attached to the trullo with a large dining table and chairs.


This spacious stunning terrace at the front of the house, looks out across the land and olive grove, and has a hand-crafted wrought iron gazebo to provide shade at lunchtime. After a day round the pool, this terrace is perfect for aperitifs and sunset dinners. There is a large square table seating 10-12 people.

Attached to the front of the trullo is a gazebo with an L shaped seating area - a shaded area to sit and relax with a book or aperitif.

There is a wide selection of restaurants in Alberobello and the neighbouring towns serving the renowned Puglian specialities. Whilst there is little reason to move from the pool, apart from to buy supplies, the blue flag beaches and crystal clear water of Monopoli and Savelletri on the Adriatic Sea are within a 30 minute drive whilst the long sandy beaches of the Ionian Sea are within an hour's drive away.

    We had a wonderful stay at the trullo. We were a group of 7, 4 adults and 3 children ranging from 8 to 10, and the property was perfect for all of us. It is well located just 10 minutes into Alberobello, and is secluded so you have absolute privacy. We spent much of the days enjoying the pool area and walking the property. The house was spacious and comfortable, with lots of amenities. The outdoor grill was great for staying in and enjoying home cooked meals as well.

    The accommodation was beautiful, and the plot of land was huge. The views were fantastic. When we arrived, the trullo was stocked with lots of little goodies, and we felt immediately at home. There was plenty of room for our two groups, consisting of 4 adults, 3 teenagers and one child. The lanes leading to the trullo were fairly narrow but fine, and the peaceful setting was well worth being slightly out of town. It took us about 10/15 minutes to drive to Alberobello, which was a beautiful town with lots of restaurants, little shops etc. The supermarket was convenient, and a short drive away which was great. We enjoyed both the beach and water park at Monopoli, and went into Polignano a Mare a couple of times which was about 40 minutes away. We did find the bedrooms quite hot at night, (we were lucky enough to have constant sunshine for our trip), though fans and small AC units were provided. However, the pool was great for cooling down and was perfect for us as it was so big and it felt luxurious to lounge poolside. All the doors and windows had mosquito nets. We all really enjoyed our holiday and this Trullo was great as we could have pool days and go out and explore. Thank you to our hosts, the whole process was easy and honest, and the recommendations made were useful and well received!

    Our stay at Trullo Lina was wonderful. We loved the many possibilities to sit outside as well as the calm in the evening and of course the pool. Everything was well organized! Thank you

    We stayed in the trullo with our three adult children and their partners and had a wonderful relaxing time, making the most of the fabulous pool. The villa is right out in the countryside but only a 10 minute drive into Alberobello, which has several decent supermarkets and a wonderful fish shop (which is open every day). The villa is very well equipped and comfortable - but it would have been nice to have air-conditioning in the bedrooms as it was rather hot when we were there in July/August. Louise was an excellent host, providing help and information by WhatsApp both before and during our stay. We loved the house and we loved Puglia.

    It was exactly as it stated on the listing. It was a beautiful home, spotlessly clean, everything catered for, which meant we spent more time staying in than going out! If you prefer to walk to a restaurant on an evening then this is not the place for you, as it’s out of the way but just 10 mins to Alberobello by car.

    Lovely remote ,beautifully restored trullo - very peaceful and charming . Well equipped and tastefully renovated and good communication with owner . My only gripe was that I perfectly understood the need to drink bottled water but we as six adults got through shed loads of bottled water and tons of plastic . We are frequent travellers to turkey where villas supply large water dispensers that they replenish and are chilled and hopefully reduce the amount of plastic waste - the recycling bins size just cannot cope with the amount of water we got through at trullo Lina . On a small point bins in the bedrooms would welcome and at least one full length mirror would please the gals ,!!! Sorry to sound critical -we had a lovely time and the trullo is beautiful and thoughtfully furnished -we would very happily come back again jan brosch

    After spending a week with my family at this beautiful and well appointed home I can honestly say it’s one of the loveliest villas I’ve stayed in. The architect designed interior has a stylish simplicity which artfully connects the old and the new parts of the building. Exposed honey coloured stone and ancient beams make the kitchen and sitting room welcoming and warm and the limestone bathrooms feel spacious and luxurious. The owners have also provided a thoughtful selection of current DVDs, travel guides , books , pool and beach toys. The outside areas are all stunning. The villa is set in a wonderfully private location surrounded by fields of olive groves and fruit trees and the immediate gardens and entertaining spaces have been expensively and tastefully landscaped. The pool is a very generous size and has the luxurious feel of a peaceful bouitique hotel. However, despite the villa’s seclusion it is conveniently close to the restaurants, bars and supermarkets of Alberobello and not far from the lovely coast line around Monopoli. I will definitely be returning.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Trulli Lina. We travelled as a family of 6 with four young adults aged from 18-22 in late August, early September. The property itself is set in a very pretty olive grove, very quiet with several terraces for all of us to find a favourite spot and view. The villa is an authentic trulli with modern features throughout. The villa is relaxed and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen, also an outdoor BBQ, so we mostly enjoyed spending the evenings in. The owner provides plenty of information about the surrounding areas, beaches, places to visit and eat out. We did a mix of exploring local villages, days out at the beach and lounging by the pool.This was our first visit to Puglia and we all fell in love with rural Italy at its best. Even the 'children' settled down by the pool with books and games, rather than their usual technical gadgets. Overall we had a proper summer respite, and we would definitely come back.
