Brindisi airport is 45km away and Bari airport 110km. If you arrive by car, please note that the last 600m leading to the property (la casa) are on a gravel road which has some narrow points.

Our charming country house comfortably caters for six people, its minimalist interiors boast three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The property is subdvided into two main areas, the trulli-suite comprising a master bedroom with en-suite the largest cone accessed via a cosy living area that also connects through to the kitchen / dining and the lamie-suite comprising of two double bedrooms each with own en-suite bathroom and the possibility of connecting through a corridor.
Every room is fitted with air-conditioning for the summer months and underfloor heating for the winter.
The villa has a private swimming pool, you will only have to share it with nature and its inhabitants, so you might see swallows drinking from the pool or small gekos feasting on mosquitos at flies at night.

Entrance to the trulli suite is via a double room inside the ancient cone structures. The bedroom is on the left hand side, whilst to the right is a cosy corner with a sofa and a stove.

The bedroom is nested inside the trullo and feels cool and cosy. It is furnished with a double bed 160x200cm, bedside table and a bench with hangers and wash basin.

Directly connected to the master bedroom and carved out from an old alcove are a comfortable shower and WC.

This is the snug, a cosy corner in the smaller cone that connects the trullo entrance to the kitchen...for reading indoors when it is too hot outside or for those quick afternoon naps whilst the others are splashing by the pool.

The kitchen area is slightly elevated form the dining area and a high counter separates the two. The table sits six and a long bench offers additional space relaxing talks.

A pergola and outdoor table near the kitchen are perfect for eating outside. There is a BBQ available to guests.

This is the larger of the two lamie (as they call the vaulted ceiling rooms) boasting 3.6m high ceiling, a 160x200cm bed and plenty of space to move around.

A modern en-suite bathrooms is linked to the room via a small corridor that leads to a private outdoor area and can be connected to the lamia due if needed.

The house is designed to provide cooling via an air-source heat pump and a chilled water system. This system works by removing humidity from the air and providing a pleasant constant low-speed cooling. For it to work well, during the hottest summer months thermostats must be kept at a constant temperature of 26 degrees celsius (79 fahrenheit) and doors must be kept shut at all times to limit heat ingress. At night it is possible to lower the fan speed to minimise noise for the sensitive ears.

Similarly to cooling, we have designed the house to have water underfloor heating as we think it is the nicest form of heat for these type of old stone buildings that otherwise have rising humidity from the floor. To work effectively the heating must be kept at a constant temperature of 20 degrees celsius (68 fahrenheit) and the winter wi
