Masseria il Trullino is close to the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean sea and its capital Lecce, also known as the ‘Florence of the South’. It was built in Pietra Leccese, the local stone using traditional techniques featuring impressive stellar ceilings.
The Masseria is nestled amongst centennial olive trees and is set in a 2 hectares private and gated olive grove, yet just under a kilometre from the town centre.
The villa is built around a walled courtyard, the heart of the masseria. The impressive entrance door through glass windows is a spectacle of lights at night.
On entering the main building through the light-filled corridor, you will access the living quarters on the right.
The open-plan fully-fitted modern kitchen equipped with all appliances, including 2 large fridges, and utensils, opens onto the courtyard as well as a pretty manicured garden with al-fresco terrace.
The ancient oak kitchen table can sit up to 10 guests when fully extended. The dining area features an impressive open fireplace built in "tufo", yet another local stone.
The cozy living room is the perfect place to relax, watch TV (with Netflix) or contemplate the tranquil nature surrounding the masseria.
The kitchen and dining area both have access to the internal courtyard as well to the manicured lawn and olive grove.
The kitchen leads to a utility/storage room equipped with washing machine, dryer, as well as a guest toilet with a shower.
The sleeping quarters include:
° a master-bedroom with four poster king size bed, large closet, desk and an en-suite bathroom with shower; TV; desk; Nespresso coffee machine.
° a twin/double bedroom with en-suite bathroom (shower). TV; desk.
° two interconnecting twin/double bedrooms, sharing a spacious family bathroom with bathtub and separate rain shower, sink and toilet.
The bedroom overlooking the swimming pool is also equipped with TV/DVD player.
A third unit, built in stone following the traditional shape of a "pajara" (trullo with flat roof), is located 30 metres from the main building, between the kitchen/living area and the lawn.
The twin/double bedrooms en-suite (shower) and TV makes it an ideal room for teenagers, a nanny or visiting guests.
There is plenty of room for al-fresco dining, relaxation and entertainment. From sun-loungers to sofas, and two shaded dining areas located in either the landscaped garden or in the main courtyard.
