An illustration of a guest book

Trullo Gaura was the best villa and local service we have ever had. Its facilities were excellent and exceeded our expectations. There can be very few holiday destinations where you have not only a private pool, but also sole use of an on-site padel court! Thanks for enabling us to have a great and truly memorable holiday! We hope to return next year.

Trullo Gaura certainly exceeded expectations. The situation was quiet and sufficiently out of town to feel rural, yet within easy reach of Ceglie. The design of the villa is beautiful and everything was prepared carefully for our arrival. What stood out was the beautiful swimming pool and the elegant rooms. We would return - it was paradise.

The Area

Trullo Gaura is situated in the south of the Valle d'Itria between Ceglie Messapica and Martina Franca and close to Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views. Ceglie Messapica has a beautiful old town centre and is renowned for the quality of its restaurants and its important food festivals. The Valle d'Itria is probably best known for its trulli, and nowhere are these more in evidence than in the picture-postcard town of Alberobello. Locorotondo and Cisternino are also well worth a visit. If you are looking for beaches, the Adriatic and Ionian coasts offer endless stretches of sand and some well-recommended lidos. Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.
