About this property
With its own private swimming pool overlooking olive and fruit trees, the prettily restored 2-bedroom Trullo Ciceri is just a 5-minute drive from the white-washed village of Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
With its conical rooftops and exposed stone, Trullo Ciceri captures the original charm of Puglia. Beneath the arched ceilings, the cosy living area and fireplace await, leading through to the gorgeous air-conditioned kitchen where stylish units and modern appliances juxtapose the original stone walls and beautifully tiled flooring. Fruit and Apulian taralli are laid out for you to enjoy on arrival, perhaps on the patio overlooking the swimming pool and garden.
Up to 4 guests can sleep comfortably here across the two air-conditioned bedrooms, both with queen-size double beds, making it ideal for one or two couples, friends or a small family. One bedroom features a stunning bathroom with a sunken bath; the other has its own en suite shower room.
Surrounded by fruit trees, the swimming pool enjoys a picturesque position, with poolside loungers and deckchairs alongside the covered patio for al-fresco dining or lounging in the shade. As you wander through the garden, discover the hammock perfectly positioned between ancient olive trees, old stone steps and the aroma of summer lavender in this bucolic and traditionally Apulian setting.
The owners can help arrange activities and experiences from olive-oil and wine tastings to cookery classes, picnics and even vintage car tours. Or you may prefer to hire bikes and explore this glorious region at your own pace.
Fall in love with Alberobello as you soak up its unique, fairytale atmosphere and admire its many historic trulli, artisan shops, lovely cafes and trattorie. Other gems of the region include the beautiful hilltop town of Locorotondo, the hidden jewel of Cisternino, Martina Franca with its grand palazzi and the famous white-washed town of Ostuni. The coast between Monopoli and Torre Canne is also within easy reach for yet more natural beauty and swimming in the Adriatic sea.
Trullo Ciceri is only 4km from Alberobello, one of Puglia’s most iconic villages and a unesco World Heritage site - it is a joy to explore its many historic trulli and museums. Wander through the cobbled lanes of the Rione Monti and Aia Piccola neighbourhoods and soak up the town’s unique, fairytale ambience. Discover charming souvenir shops, pretty cafes and traditional trattorie at every turn.
With sweeping views of the Itria Valley, Cisternino is loved for its characterful old town and lively evening atmosphere. The historic centre is a maze of narrow alleys, flower-draped balconies and piazzas where locals gather for the evening passeggiata. Be sure to visit the many butcher shops (fornelli) that grill meats to order to enjoy at simple outdoor tables.
Meanwhile, Martina Franca enchants with its Baroque architecture, impressive churches and grand palazzi including the majestic Palazzo Ducale. Venture further to Ostuni, known as La Città Bianca, where whitewashed buildings, architectural splendour, and breathtaking views over olive groves and the Adriatic await from its hilltop perch.
The coast also beckons whether you are spending the day being enchanted by the seaside towns of Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, or visiting nature reserves like Torre Guaceto, ideal for scenic hikes and birdwatching. Even closer, spend the day at Torre Canne, a relaxed seaside resort known for its thermal springs, lighthouse and long stretch of sandy beach.
