An illustration of a guest book

We thought Trullo Melograno was superb, lots of space, total privacy, everything you might need was provided. We loved the design touches in the rooms. It really felt like being in a wonderful home rather than a holiday place. We loved the pool and spacious unoverlooked grounds. Because we have been to Puglia before and have already visited the Valle d'Itria towns, we were so happy at Trullo Melograno that we spent all of the time of our stay at the house. We would love to go back.

We had a wonderful week at Trullo Melograno. We loved everything - the location, and interior and exterior design - but one of the best parts of our experience was the local villa staff. Looking forward to be back next year!

Trullo Melograno was so much better than the images. The grounds are beautiful, the internal layout and interior design are inspiring. We couldn't have wanted for anything more. We had a magnificent family holiday, peaceful and relaxing around the trullo.

The Area

Trullo Melograno is situated just to the east of the charming historic town of Ceglie Messapica. Gorgeous Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views is close by. 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. Several other lovely towns, such as Locorotondo, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Taranto are also well worth a visit and easy to get to. If you are looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers stretches of sandy and rocky coast and some excellent lidos. The Ionian Sea is a little bit further but the long expanses of sandy beach found there are amongst the loveliest in the Med. Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.
