The Area

Trullo Terra Dolce 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.

An illustration of a guest book

Trullo Terra Dolce was beautiful.

KL, United Kingdom September 2017

The highlight was the fabulous villa and beautiful pool. It felt as if we were staying in a home and enhanced by the owner's ceramics and fantastic eye for design. We spent most of this trip enjoying the beautiful villa and its surroundings. The owner was delightful and the housekeeper was so friendly and most helpful.

CG, United Kingdom August 2017

Trullo Terra Dolce was wonderful, one of the most enjoyable stays we have had. It has been beautifully restored and is well equipped to cater for any holidaymaker. We swam every day we were there and of an evening just enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and home cooking of the fresh produce available in any of the towns and villages close by. We would certainly like to return in the future.

Mr Edward Lahey, Australia August 2017

Ein tolle Villa mit traumhafter Aussenanlage.

Serge Gansner, Switzerland August 2015

Hier hatten wir (ausser dem Wetter - daher konnten wir den Aussenbereich wenig nutzen) eine perfekte Woche. Alles sehr mit Liebe zum Detail ausgesucht und topgepflegt (sicherlich auch daher, dass die Eigentümer sich persönlich darum kümmern). Mit denen hatten wir dann auch einen sehr lustigen Nachmittag verbracht. Absolut empfehlenswert und hier würden wir auch wiederkehren.

Nicole Maendler, Germany September 2014

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Terra Dolce. Les propriétaires sont adorables... Le four à pizza à fait l'unanimité ainsi que Sarah et Laura les deux cuisinières. Un vrai plus pour cette maison.
