About this property

'Soul of Puglia' - A Rural Gem 3BR/3BA, A/C, WiFi, Hilltop w/ POOL & Views

TrulliRoccia - "Soul of Puglia"
OUR POOL is OPEN (April 2024) | 2025 Rates & Dates are available for booking


3 bedrooms, 3 ensuite bathrooms. Magnificent private pool for your exclusive use. Air-conditioning throughout.

PRIVATE 10m x 5m IN-GROUND POOL for your exclusive use. EARLY POOL OPENING in 2024 (April vs May). Pool is OPEN throughout OCTOBER.

Wood-burning Pizza Oven

TrulliRoccia is a rare, romantic and sympathetically restored trulli that has the ‘Soul of Puglia’ running throughout every cone and rock of its ancient construction. It will embrace you and captivate your heart from the moment you make your final approach to the property and step through the door.

Rare, because this well-appointed trulli has been sensitively restored to include three (3) ensuite bathrooms for each of the three (3) generously sized bedrooms, along with two sitting rooms/lounges, dining room and kitchen, should you choose to dine in. Air-conditioning throughout.

Total interior is 115 square meters / 1000 square feet. A plethora of original features – such as numerous 'niche', stone arches, working fireplace. alcoves and a wood-burning pizza oven, etc – will unfold as you settle in to a very special stay at TrulliRoccia.

As the Puglian lifestyle is centred around ‘outdoor living’, the property has a walled and outside shaded dining area (in addition to inside dining for six). And plenty of additional stone terracing for basking in the sun. There is a poolside shaded pergola and yet another poolside dining area, also for six (6)

As Sandy, one of our recent guests has written:

"We first visited Trulli Roccia last year in Spring .. then again in Summer ... .Our first experience was a holiday and then fell in love with it so much that we returned for our honeymoon a couple of months later .

It is an absolute haven and as I write this I can remember the tranquility ...the early morning swims in the most perfect of pools whilst the most beautuful butterflies I have ever seen flew around the many stunning flowers in the garden and grounds"

Set in nearly one hectare (2 acres) on a hilltop with stunning vistas, TrulliRoccia will wrap you up in the ‘Soul of Puglia’ and envelope your mood. Its idyllic setting will challenge your senses -- vistas, birdsong, olive and fruit trees. You will be surrounded by countryside and magnificent views pocked by distant trulli cones poking through the olive groves and majestic hilltop masseria – providing maximum tranquility, serenity and relaxation for you and your family or travel companions. . ., making it oh so easy to leave the world behind.

Still, 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 type of mozzarella! Ostuni's beaches are only minutes drive away.

Further afield, excursions to UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Alberobello (35 min) and Matera – a ‘must’ in our opinion – (1 hr 45 min), as well as the beautiful baroque city of Lecce (1hr 20 min) or Otranto (1 hour 45min) or Gallipoli (1 hour 30 min)

Kitchen has all modern amenities, including dishwasher.
Separate dining room with seating for six (6)

Shaded outdoor veranda for al fresco dining. Shaded poolside pergola. And poolside dining area in addition.

WIFI, iPod docking station, kettle, toaster, microwave, iron, ironing board

Utilities: central heating, dishwasher, laundry washer, 2x fridges/freezers, 4-ring stove, coffee makers, kettle. All kitchenware.

Recent guest Angela, from the USA, writes in her review:

"Would you like to try something so incredibly different while visiting the Puglia region of Italy? Then TrulliRoccia is the place to stay. Location was perfect to take daily trips to surrounding towns. We really had no idea what to expect. After looking at the photos, we knew it would be beautiful and unique. But once you step through the front door, it brought everything to life. TrulliRoccia was spotless and as well appointed as a home can be."

We encourage you to please read through our guest reviews for more information. Thank you.

Staying in a Trullo
We had a great stay, the place was charming and had a nice place for outdoor sitting when the weather was warm. The only drawback was it was very difficult to get to and from

Trulli amazing
We had an amazing stay. The trulli house was great and we loved making use of the pizza oven. Thank goodness for Hazel - we would not have found it without her. Well placed for travelling around up to 1 hour away.

Idyllic Trullo
A perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside with views looking across to Ostuni. To have so much privacy and space with figs, plums and prickly pears to pick and eat every day whilst staying in the most well appointed Trullo. Great pizza oven and large pool with outdoor areas to enjoy. Such a wonderful time.

Beautiful stay
We had a wonderful and relaxed week here, enjoying the outdoor space but also the cool interiors too! The property is very well maintained and designed… and is just as it looks online. The track to the house is bumpy so a decent car is advised!

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Glenn

Host profile image
We are both passionate about Puglia . . . it's cuisine & wine, the beaches and abundant sunshine. Having tired of London's grey skies, we divide our time between the UK and Italy.

But probably more important than what we can say about ourselves is what guests say, these excerpts taken from reviews that guests have posted about us and our house manager, Annie:

“Communication with the owners was great, as was their woman on the ground, Annie, who couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.”

“Glenn & Steve were a delight to deal with and all our questions were answered swiftly.”

“Liaising with the owners was really easy and the arrival process very smooth.”

“Owners Glenn and Steve, who live in nearby Ostuni, complete the picture, offering local knowledge and tips for the best food, wine and sites the gorgeous region has to offer.”

“Annie and Glenn were great hosts, really liked meeting both of them and getting all sorts of advice on the type of places we would most enjoy, villages, restaurants, beach clubs and so on.”

“The owners were fantastic, great communication an very helpful. . . Thank you Glenn & Steve.”

“cheers to Glenn and Steve for the thought that’s gone into every element of this property. We’re coming back!”

“The property has been beautifully restored, Glenn and Annie really went out of their way to help us too.”

“First class service from the very first enquiry until the end of our stay. Thank you Glenn and Annie for helping us have such a relaxing, stress free holiday.”

“A big Thank You to Glenn for being a very helpful and friendly host!”

“Glenn & Steve could not of been more helpful and we will be eternally grateful for all the running about they did for us in the run up to the reception at Trulli Roccia,nothing was to much trouble.”

“We also have to thank you for the personalized service. For the suggestions you provided to make the anniversary occasion, something we will never forget, we are forever grateful"

Why they chose this property

TrulliRoccia's hilltop countryside setting provides wonderful views and a sense of being 'away from it all" . . . yet is conveniently located for exploration of the nearby hilltop Puglian towns of Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Ceglie Messapica.

Further afield, excursions to Alberobello, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Matera are easily within reach.

TrulliRoccia itself is 100% authentic and filled with a plethora of original architectural features, sympathetically restored to provide our guests with the modern conveniences expected for an enjoyable and comfortable villa holiday in Puglia.
