as to discover. Trulli Pecorino is a six-cone trulli with private pool, set in a tranquil location within rolling olive groves and nearby several working Masseria (fortified farm estates) for relaxing day’s in . . . or when you want to explore, minute’s drives to lovely Puglian hilltop towns with incredible food on offer. As you approach our Trulli in the Puglian countryside or Ostuni, you will even see local livestock roaming the Masseria grounds. . . Each of the bedrooms, the kitchenette and dining areas, as well as one of the two bathrooms . . . (and even a hallway!) . . . is nestled under its own stone-vaulted cone. Our Trulli has two (2) generously-sized bedrooms (each under its own large Trulli cone/vaulted ceiling) which can be configured as two doubles or one double / two singles, and two (2) bathrooms (yes, two bathrooms) . . . so it is ideal for couple(s) and/or families or friends sharing a Trulli holiday. In addition, TrulliPecorino boasts a separate kitchenette/dining area. . . each within its own Trulli cone. All rooms have been simply but stylishly decorated to accent the architectural heritage and simplicity of Trulli architecture itself. TrulliPecorino’s private pool measures 8m X 4m. Sun loungers, outdoor seating and pool towels are provided. In Springtime and for cool Autumnal nights, TrulliPecorino is centrally heated (inclusive or rates quoted) for maximum comfort should the night turn chilly. Our trulli is located in the beautiful countryside outside of Ostuni . . . and you will be ideally located for convenient access (10-15 min by car) to the beautiful Puglian hilltop towns of Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Ceglie Messapica . . . each with its own unique character and without doubt, you will be able to finish an unforgettable Puglian meal in one of the plethora of restaurants (from Osteria to Michelin-starred) with a fine cheeseboard which will undoubtedly include a DOP pecorino. If you are a wine-lover, we can introduce you to our local favourites and help to arrange and escorted tour of the countless winemaking vineyards in the area. Ostuni's beaches are only minutes’ drive away.
