Secondo Amore is Puglia's answer to a woodland hideaway, except the woodland here is an olive grove, and the property is no log cabin, but a trilla (TM!): a super-chic, architect-designed trullo renovation with a villary twist! Relaxation is unavoidable and peace and quiet is on tap but for the more active there is plenty to do and see on the doorstep of this little Puglian piece of paradise.

If we had to sum up our stay at Secondo Amore in a few words, I would say relaxed, calm, luxurious. The villa has a gorgeous pool, a great choice of seating / socialising areas, and lovely design.
Verified guest, June 2025
What stood out for us about Secondo Amore was the beautiful, enormous surroundings, the garden, the pool, the different corners to relax in - in the sun and the shade. Would we return? Yes, we just loved the place - especially the early or late swim in the pool.

The Area
Secondo Amore is situated at the southern end of the Valle d'Itria between Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views, and the pretty centre of Ceglie Messapica. The Valle d'Itria, however, is probably best known for its trulli, and nowhere are these more in evidence than in the picture-postcard town of Alberobello. Locorotondo, Cisternino and Martina Franca are also well worth a visit. If you are looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers endless stretches of sand and some well recommended lidos from which to enjoy it. Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.
