A delightful trullo with pool in a secluded location in the heart of Puglia.

Completely restored in 2017 and tastefully decorated, Trullo La Gioia is a stunning five-cone trullo which sleeps 6 (2 doubles + 1 double/twin, all with en-suite shower rooms).

Trullo La Gioia is located 8 km from the atmospheric town of Ceglie Messapica and 10 km from the beautiful town of Ostuni (known as "la città bianca"). Both of these towns are well served by excellent restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, weekly outdoor markets, etc. The nearest beaches are 15 km / 30 minutes away and there are a number of charming historic towns within easy reach: Martina Franca, Cisternino, Locorotondo, and Alberobello.

In a completely rural setting, surrounded by 5 acres of olive groves and fruit trees, the trullo is the perfect place to get away from it all.

Overlooking the trullo there is an idyllic private pool with sunloungers and deckchairs with views of the surrounding countryside.

There is a spacious shaded veranda to the side of the trullo with a large dining table and a comfortable seating area with sofas and cushions. Here you can enjoy eating alfresco and relaxing with a coffee or an aperitif.

Inside there is a spacious kitchen/diner, a utility room, and a delightful living room with an open fireplace.

A truly wonderful Trullo!
We had a wonderful relaxing holiday at this Trullo. The outdoor space, pool and vista were stunning and the pictures of the indoor spaces did not do it justice. A great central location to visit many parts of Puglia. Peter & Marina were extremely helpful & approachable. We highly recommend staying at this property.

Puglia at its best!
We were a group of 6 people (3 couples) and really enjoyed our stay in the Trullo a lot. The house was even more beautiful than on the pictures. The rooms were great, even though it got a little warm during the night (but it was an exceptional hot week, so I'm sure most of the time this isn't a problem). Other than that, everything was perfect. We especially loved the outdoor areas (the pool, dining area and grill, and lounge area) and the super well equipped kitchen. We immediately felt at home in the Trulli and were super sad to leave after the week! Hope to return one day! Thank you Marina & Peter :)

Absolutely amazing trulli villa: superbly positioned, not overlooked at all, glorious grounds, fabulous accommodation and just so smart. So much space and great pool. Wonderful. Very responsive owners and local support. A super region to explore: so much to see. We will return!

wonderful rural retreat
A stunning trullo property in the heart of Puglia. The property has been refurbished beautifully without losing the authentic Italian style.. The main house has two lovely bedrooms with en-suite and a generous sized lounge area and kitchen/diner. The third bedroom is attached with its own entrance and has a large double bed and en-suite. There is not a lot of storage space for clothes and is overall a little small. Outside there is a lovely shaded patio and eating area with BBQ and then there is the magnificent pool area which is set higher up in the very extensive grounds. We spent a lot of time at the pool and out two youngish grandchildren (7 & 4) had a whale of a time jumping splashing and just messing about. The also enjoyed Lizard spotting and playing hide and seek in the grounds. The fact that the property is very rural is its only downside as the nearest town for shopping is Ceglie Messapica which is about 8km away but that is a small price to pay for the chance to enjoy such a fantastic holiday is such a beautiful setting.

A wonderful Italian rural retreat.
A wonderful, peaceful, rural Italian retreat. The property is off the beaten track yet in an accessible location for many of the lovely sites that Puglia has to offer. We enjoyed picking the figs and almonds in the garden which went very well with the generous welcome pack provided. The photos do not do the property justice, particularly the kitchen which is actually more spacious than the website suggests. We hope to return one day.

Tolle Zeit
Das Trullo war super ausgestattet und wunderschön. Alles war sauber, super gemütlich und einladend. Der Pool war der Wahnsinn. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern vorab und vor Ort war einwandfrei. Das Trullo ist etwas abgelegen, so dass man auf jeden Fall einen PKW benötigt. Die umliegenden Städtchen sind wirklich hübsch und bieten viele gastronomische Angebote.

Propriété de rêve dans un océan d’oliviers
En première impression, celle d’un ensemble de trulli parmi les plus beaux de la région. La décoration intérieure est de très bon goût. La maison est très bien équipée et les aménagements extérieurs (détente et lieux de repas) sont fort plaisants. Une mention particulière pour la piscine qui est grande et bien entretenue. Enfin un grand merci pour Peter et Marina, ainsi qu’Adriano, leur gérant sur place, pour leurs conseils et réponses à nos questions. En résumé: une location qui nous a enchantés et recommandons vivement.

Bij aankomst konden we alleen maar ohhh en ahhhh zeggen. Wát een schitterend vakantieverblijf! En schoon en goed toegerust. Alles wat een keuken nodig heeft, is er. Het zwembad is top, maar ligt wel in de volle zon. De grond er om heen is groots. Olijfbomen, kersen- en vijgenbomen. Wij hebben een toptijd gehad. Een absolute aanrader.

Besonderes Trulli in schöner Umgebung
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dem wunderschönen Trulli von Marina und Peter sehr genossen. House-Manager Adriano war immer erreichbar und hilfsbereit! Das Haus und das Design waren genau so, wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben - modern, gemütlich und für Apulien typisch. Die Fotos könnten die Schönheit noch besser rüberbringen, aber so waren wir positiv überrascht :) Mit insgesamt zwei Familien (4 Erwachsene/4 Kinder) hat das Haus alles geboten, was man für einen gelungenen Sommer-Urlaub braucht. Alle Zimmer waren dezent und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und boten genügend Stauraum. Alle drei Doppelzimmer haben ein eigenes Bad. Die Matratzen und Kissen mögen wir etwas weicher, aber das ist immer Geschmacksache. Durch die Moskitonetze an einigen Fenstern kann man auch nachts mit Frischluft schlafen. Das Haus genießt durch das große Grundstück quasi eine Alleinlage, doch sind die wenigen Trulli-Nachbarn nicht weit entfernt (und auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wenn man sich auf italienisch verständigen kann, ansonsten mit Händen und Füßen klappt es auch). Der Garten ist sehr schön angelegt, mit Hängematte und Hängesitz im Olivenbaum. Man sollte beachten, dass ein Doppelzimmer nur von außen mit einem eigenen Eingang zugänglich und nicht mit dem weiteren Komplex verbunden ist. Wir konnten es mit den Kindern aber gut lösen. Der Pool war der Hit bei allen und es gab bequeme Liegen. Er ist etwas abfallend, liegt erhöht mit tollem Blick auf das Trulli sowie Umgebung und bietet mit 11x5 Metern genügend Platz zum toben und entspannen. Er wurde während unseres Aufenthalts einen Morgen durch eine externe Firma gereinigt. Der Lounge-Bereich mit gemütlichen Polstern lud zum Verweilen ein und die Bänke mit Tisch wurden für jegliche Mahlzeiten am Tag genutzt. Wir grillen gerne und der Bereich hätte noch etwas schöner und einladender gestaltet werden können. Viele schöne Städte sowie das Meer sind innerhalb von ca. 30 Minuten per Auto erreichbar. Ohne Auto geht es hier nicht! Einkaufen und beim Bäcker waren wir in Ceglie Messapica (ca. 15 Minuten, bei italienischer Fahrweise ca. 10 Minuten ;) ). Mehr als einmal haben wir sehr freundliche Erfahrung mit zuvorkommenden Einheimischen machen dürfen. Ceglie Messapica, Ostuni, Cisternino und Alberobello sind eine Reise wert. Mehr haben wir leider in der Kürze (1 Woche) nicht erkunden können. Überall kann man herausragend essen! Was unseren Trulli-Urlaub rund gemacht hat. Vielen Dank!

Trullo La Gioia was magic
When I first walked in Trullo La Gioia I have immediately realized that the pictures did't give justice to Marina and Peter property. The interior space was bigger that appeared to be in the pictures and especially the kitchen was larger than expected: it has enough room for a big round dining table. The furnitures match perfectly the authenticity of the property, all beds were extremely comfortable and the general interior was very well kept. The laundry room was a great bonus and allowed us to storage luggages and to clean clothes and towel when needed. The best part was definitely the outdoor space: a large piece of land with beautiful vegetations like many figs and olives trees. The outdoor space is inclined with different levels: lounge area with comfy lounge sofa where to relax. little higher is possible to find the dining table covered by a verande made of canes. The best part was definitely the pool from where is possible to admire the nice trullo architecture and part of Itria valley. The atmosphere was magic: I could just hear the noise of the wind making the entire experience a perfect gateway to relax and recharge. Obviously great sleeping due also to the temperature kept cooled by the thick walls and cones of the Trullo. Internet was working fine. It's possible to have a good phone reception close to the pool, which was perfect for us since we just wanted to unplug. Overall we had a great experience and I would definitely come back again. Thanks Peter and Marina.

Superbe Trulli
Nous avons passé 15 jours en juillet, dans le ravissant trulli de Marina et Peter, nous avons pu profiter des figues et des amandes fraîches (des légumes de Tonino le voisin :-) ), du calme de la maison et de la piscine, et avons beaucoup apprécié le confort et la décoration de la maison. Nous avons sillonné la région des Trulli, Martina Franca, Monopoli, et apprécié les petites commerces de Ceglie Messapica (panificio moretto via Milano). Un charmant accueil de Marika, la correspondante de Marina et Peter en leur absence, aux petits soins pour nous.
