Beautiful, 2 bedroom Trullo with pool in Puglia

 

 

Our Trullo

Set in the heart of the Puglian countryside, 3 km from Martina Franca, we have owned this Trullo for 11 years and we've been renting it out to holiday-makers for 8 years. With 2 bedrooms, (with a sofa-bed it sleeps 6), a luxurious swimming pool and charming traditional interiors, this is a wonderful place for a romantic or family holiday.

Our story

We bought our Trullo 11 years ago and set about renovating and building. This is our story of building, planting and eating;  mostly eating.

Martina Franca and Puglia

Puglia is a simple, but beautiful region, boasting an unrivalled production of Olive oil and pasta. Consequently, it's a region rich in the love of food and the production of everything to do with that. Deep sienna soil, millions of Olive trees and vines heavy with the powerful and wonderful Primitivo grapes providing the rustic and classic background.

 
 
 
 
 

We are just outside the beautiful town of Martina Franca, 2-3km en route to Taranto.

By Air

We are situated practically in the centre of Puglia, midway between the coasts and about 1 hour 30 minute drive from Bari airport and 1 hour 10 minutes from Brindisi airport.  

Both airports are served by Ryanair, but Bari is also served by British Airways and Easyjet at certain times. 

By Rail

There is a train service from Bari to Martina Franca which takes about 2 hours.  Trains from the north of Italy serve Bari too and the airport has a train connection to the train station, which takes about 20 minutes. 

You will still need to then drive to the Trullo from there, which is maybe a 5-10 minute drive. 

By Car

There are autostradas almost right up to us connecting back to Foggia and then to the rest of Italy. We are roughly a 5 hour drive from Rome.

 

 

When driving to the Trullo, if you are approaching from Martina Franca, carry on through following the direction Taranto. You will exit Martina on the ss172 or via Taranto. Follow this for 2-3 km and look for a turning on the right marked by a sign high in the air for a function room, called Tenuta Reale. This can be hard to see when the trees are fully green and not cut back, but there should be a smaller, lower sign for Tenuta Reale about 600 metres before, just to alert you.

If you are approaching from Taranto, then apart from the turning being on the left, the same applies; there is a small sign for Tenuta Reale 600 metres before and you should be able to see the high one as you approach.

 

This then is our road, Strada Tre Piantelle; take this, over the railtracks, past a small right hand turning and over a small rise in the road. We are the Trullo on the right.
