The Italian Portrait

Showcasing original architectural features like thatched rooves and exposed stonework, this traditional trullo-style home offers a unique experience that can only be had in Puglia. The garden is large and fully fenced, with a playground and trampoline to keep the little ones happy. For the grown-ups, there are three dining verandas, a swimming pool and plenty of space to relax. The house itself is made up of several separate trulli, making it ideal for large groups as you can have a little privacy when needed. Set within a park of olive trees, it’s safe to say that the location is remote, so we’d recommend renting a car to get around (the freeway is just nine kilometres away).
