About this property
Located near the whitewashed town of Ostuni, the striking century old trulli take centre stage at this special property. Beautifully restored in 2015 by its owner, a young Milanese architect who spent her childhood in Puglia, the attention to detail that has gone into the décor has created a truly magical space.
Trulli La Pietrina has three gorgeous double bedrooms all with shower en suites and access to the pretty garden. The cosy living room houses an ancient stone fireplace and has fantastic views out to the pool and green rolling hills. The kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you need to whip up a tasty breakfast accompanied by figs and plums fresh from the garden.
Outside is a large swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and parasols, a covered terrace, and a separate al fresco dining area where you can get the BBQ blazing and enjoy a glass of wine. There is also a shower for rinsing off after a dip and a fourth bathroom for guests.
Set on two hectares of rich Italian soil, the 110 olive trees at Trulli La Pietrina are still harvested by hand every November. Crushed in the local press they produce top quality extra virgin olive oil. A well-established herb garden thrives alongside vines of sweet cherry tomatoes giving you all the ingredients for a mouth-watering bruschetta.
A large panoramic roof terrace is the perfect spot for gazing out over the olive groves as the sun sets and taking in the dazzling star-filled skies at night.
Ostuni (3km) - an enchanting white-washed city with winding alleys and glorious cathedrals.

Trulli La Pietrina is a gorgeous trulli in a fantastic location. It had everything we needed, with enough space and privacy for a family of six travelling as three couples. The outside area is pretty and the pool is amazing. The owners clearly take pride in the villa and were on hand to answer any of our questions. The location is rural (with great views) but close enough to Ostuni. A ten minute drive would take us to a pretty and vibrant town with a great choice of restaurants. A wonderful holiday.

The house is both quirky and beautiful, rustic and comfortable. The pool was the perfect size and beautifully presented in attractive gardens with countryside views all around.
