About the property
Inside
accommodation at Trullo Terra Dolce is spread over three independently accessed houses, which, whilst resembling a single building from the outside, are not connected internally.The main house is nearest to the pool and has a comfortable open-plan living and dining room with large glass doors offering stunning views over the gardens and pool, a well-equipped kitchen, also with garden access, one double bedroom with an alcove bed and an en-suite bathroom with tub and rainfall shower, a study, and a second bathroom.
The middle of the three houses is a classic trullo and is home to a double bedroom (with bed in an alcove) and an en-suite shower room.
The third house, furthest from the pool, comprises two bedrooms, a double and a double-twin, and two shower rooms (of which one en-suite), a living room with access to the gardens, and an al fresco dining and lounge area, a dining room with original, decorative bread oven and a kitchen.
The properties have been beautifully restored to a very high quality and subtly brought into the 21st century: many of the original features have been retained, some fulfilling their original function, others being ingeniously put to other uses.
Booking notes
a. if you need 2 bedrooms, you may choose either the main house and the trullo or the 2-bedroom houseb. if you need 3 bedrooms, you will be accommodated in the main house and the 2-bedroom house
Outside
Trullo Terra Dolce is surrounded by extensive gardens and terraces with a selection of shady spots for al fresco living and dining. Green lawns alternate with paved areas and all has been planted with a large variety of colourful and fragrant Mediterranean flora. The focal point, however, is the splendid pool, from which views over the surrounding woods (accessible from the gardens) and gentle countryside are delightful.CIN No. IT 074012B400047898
About 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.
Considerations
The depth of the pool ranges from 1.2m to 2.3m.
Due to the nature of the property, which includes terraces, low walls, stairs to the roof (blocked by plants) and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.
Trullo Terra Dolce features an infinity pool, offering swimmers views while in the pool. There is a small drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.

MG, United States of America, visited September 2022
Trullo Terra Dolce is such a special, one of a kind property. We were blown away by the attention to detail in making this beautiful house a home and also appreciated the kindness in which the preservation of the trullo was done. We were absolutely blown away by the lovely house manager who helps take care of the beautiful Trullo Terra Dolce. She made our stay and we are so incredibly grateful to her.
