One of Puglia’s most iconic and loved Trulli experiences.
Cosy and characterful, you might just want to take Ai Trulli home with you after spending a week or two there! But it's not just the houses that have such winning qualities: the lovely gardens and pool are charming too... All within a stone's throw of several of Puglia's loveliest towns!

Accommodation at Ai Trulli is spread over two trulli buildings and one lamia. The larger of the two trulli is neatly divided into living and sleeping areas. Access is into the light living area, which features traditional creamy stone walls, a high conical ceiling and fireplace. To the left of the living area, through an arch, is the well-equipped kitchen, while to the right, through another arch, is the cosy dining area. Continuing further on, one comes to a small sitting area, with sofa and desk, which leads to the sleeping quarters: a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and the master bedroom also with en-suite shower room. The master bedroom is accessed either via the first bedroom or from the garden.
The second, smaller trullo, has a similar layout to the first, with the living room in the centre, a small kitchen through an arch to the left and the sleeping quarters - a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower - to the right. It includes facilities for tea, coffee and a garden suite near the swimming pool.
The lamia, the fourth and final bedroom, also a double, is attached to this second trullo but only accessed from the outside. This too has its own en-suite shower room with separate WC.
While there are four bedrooms in total, the maximum occupancy is for six guests and the fourth bedroom is available on request for an extra supplement. IF you require more space it is possible to combine a rental with our neighbours property, which is able to accomodate up to 8 people.
In both trulli and the lamia, the original features and stone structures have been kept intact as much as possible and furnishing and fittings complement these aspects with cheerful rusti-chic panache.
Ai Trulli is set amongst a series of well-tended lawns, dotted with olive trees and criss-crossed by dry-stone walls and gravel paths, one of which takes you down to the lovely pool, situated just below the houses and offering views over the gentle surrounding countryside. Closer to the house are a series of sitting areas and an al fresco dining area for those long summer dinners!
