La Torretta – Holidays in a trullo with jacuzzi

It is a marvelous rural idyll that awaits you in the midst of the hilly landscape of Valle d’Itria with its thousands of trulli, the former living quarters of the 19th century farmers. 

Surrounded by olive groves and Mediterranean macchia, you will find it easy to relax when vacationing at "La Torretta", a restored trullo with a cupola-shaped roof instead of the typical cone-shaped roof you might expect.  

Gorgeous nature, location near the white towns of Cisternino and Ostuni (each 8 km off) and top furnishing, including dishwasher, WiFi and jacuzzi pool, await you at the holiday home and it might be the perfect accommodation for your next holidays in Apulia. 

The sea with Caribbean blue water and fantastic sandy beaches are only 15 km off.

Friendly owner Serena has turned the once abandoned building into a real paradise. Paying special attention to details in every corner, she succeeded in creating a harmonious and cozy atmosphere without neglecting comfort and without destroying the old charm of the house. 

You enter La Torretta into the very well appointed eat-in kitchen (incl. 4-burner gas stove, oven, Nespresso coffee machine, refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, electric kettle), from where you pass through an open doorway into a small, cozy living area. The latter includes a fireplace and a sofa, which can be used as a sleeping facility for a child, and opens onto the outdoor area with terrace, jacuzzi and dependance.   

From the kitchen area you also access the bathroom (shower/WC/bidet) and the bedroom. The latter is furnished with a double bed and a sofa bed (sleeping facility for another child) and opens onto the terrace. Air purifiers and ventilators are found in all the bedrooms.  

Furnishing of La Torretta also includes washing machine, fireplace and gas heating in the main building, Dyson air purifier and ventilator in the dependance, fly screens and hair dryer.
A children’s bed and high chair for very young guests are provided upon request.

Two further guests can be accommodated in the dependance, which is located behind the jacuzzi pool. The dependance is furnished with a double bed and air conditioning and includes a bathroom (shower/WC) and a terrace with loungers and hammock. La Torretta might, therefore, be a perfect accommodation for couples who wish to spend their holidays together.

Serena always seems to come up with good ideas, such as turning the ancient "palmento", the basin where the grapes used to be crushed, into a 2.5 x 2.5 m whirlpool.

Garden furniture and loungers are found on the terrace, which is shaded by olive trees and bamboo. A grill is also at your disposal in the outdoor area. 

Nothing but fields and magnificently lush green olive groves and across the country lane La Casa del Pastore, another holiday home of owner Serena – that's how you could describe the nearer surroundings of holiday home La Torretta. 

The nearest shops and restaurants are found at Casalini, a small town 3 km off. At Locanda del Ristoro, for example, they serve typically local dishes for reasonable prices. 

The sea with many sandy beaches, both free and with service (lidi), is ca. 15 km off.

La Toretta is only about 8 km from the towns of Cisternino and Ostuni, where you can go for strolls within white walls and through ancient alleys.

Our restaurant tip: "L’Osteria del Tempo Perso" at Ostuni in Via Gaetano Tanzarella Vitale 47 (restaurant in a grotto in the maze of alleys above the cathedral). Prior reservation of a table is strongly recommended (telephone: 0039 0831 304819).
