An Ancient Trullo With Pool Nestled With Views Over A Beautiful Private Valley

TRULLO TERRABRONZATA lies secluded and close to the pretty and historic town of Cisternino. A two minute drive , or eight minutes walk.
The location is very rural and peaceful, private and not overlooked, on a very quiet side road.

It successfully merges the traditional, centuries old 'Trullo' construction, with contemporary living on two levels featuring all modern comforts and crisp interior design with antique appointments. Designed as our 'home' rather than a basic holiday let, it is well kitted out throughout.

There are two bathrooms and a further guest bathroom with a shower. A twin bedroom and two double bedrooms sleeping six are located to provide cooler conditions, with central heating for the colder months. The oak kitchen is a bespoke Mark Wilkinson design, with quality appliances. A dining room next to the kitchen seats six and leads on to a large elevated dining terrace seating ten, and seating area. The sitting room is lateral with the dining and kitchen.

There is a television (for DVD only/ library on site ) but also with hundreds of Italian channels ! We have a CD/Ipod docking system and Wi-Fi. Your personal sounds can be played through BlueTooth, which can be enjoyed with indoor and exterior speakers.
The sitting area has the view over a front terrace. The pool and dining/sunbathing terraces are located within almost two acres of garden with ancient olives.

There are four different terraces and a fifth (roof terrace) which has been enjoyed by those who prefer 100% al fresco !

We have recently installed a large custom designed barbecue and naturally, had to have anther table ! With three external dining areas and one internal, we could almost sit 40 people now.

The pool is 10 x 5 metres and has an adjacent shower, and a large shaded pergola area. Privatised with established Cypress trees and standard Oleander planting, a very good chill out space, and sun worshipping terrace .

We are blessed to be in a very central position with easy access ( 10 minutes each direction) to many nearby and fabulous towns , all with beautiful architecture, historic centres , shopping, and fabulous eateries .

Perfectly relaxing location, Stylish interior
I spent one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays in this Trullo . It’s just perfectly set in a quiet and peaceful location,with a wonderful pool and garden. Just a few minutes drive from Cisternino town and beautiful days trips to places like Arborobello, Fasano and Martina Blanca. I highly recommend this Trulli for someone looking for a relaxing time in a comfortable a stylish location.

Beautiful Trullo in Great Location
We had a lovely stay at Trullo Terrabronzata. Loved all the different seating areas to catch the sun/shade. It was hot [40c+ some days] when we were there but the bedrooms were good with fans. The pool is wonderful to cool down. The whole space has been very well thought out and the trullo is well equipped. It's walkable into Cisternino [approx 20 mins]; however, we drove as it's only 5 minutes. It really is a beautiful town and comes alive at night. We've been to Italy a number of times but this was our first time to Puglia. It's a short drive to some wonderful places such as Locorontondo, Martina Franca and Ostuni. The beach isn't too far away either with some nice beach clubs/lidos. We had great communication from Stephen and the local managers. We'd highly recommend the trullo and would love to come back one day. Thanks again.

A truly magical Trullo in a lovely rural setting
Trullo Terrabronzata in Puglia is a truly magical place to stay! Set in the heart of Puglia, a rural area with historic mountain-top towns, many delightfully restored trulli, and terrific food, the Trullo Terrabronzata is located in one of the best regions in Italy. If you are looking to visit this region, then Trullo Terrabronzata is highly recommended. It is a superb villa! The interior is quite stunning, benefitting from attention to every detail, perfectly maintained and spotless, which ensures a really comfortable and enjoyable stay for a group of adults. The Trullo is set in a very large garden of ancient olive trees and lavender, and this provides a fabulous setting in which to unwind and recharge your batteries. We enjoyed relaxing around the pool, reading, chatting, sketching and doing yoga, and the shaded seating area by the pool was the most perfect environment for this. We also enjoyed daily ‘fitness walks’ up the hill to do the shopping in nearby Cisternino, bringing back fruit and vegetables, local meats, cheeses and wine from the shops and the bustling Monday market. The kitchen at the Trullo is superbly equipped, which made cooking a joy, and there are several areas around the trullo to sit and enjoy a meal in the shade or sun, whichever you prefer. The estate managers, Costanza & David, were very helpful and responsive. As were the local security company who turned out within seconds when we had problems with the sensitive burglar alarm. The food in the Puglia region is top class rural fare and there are a few excellent restaurants in Cisternino. There is plenty of parking in the town, so it is an easy trip out. The nearby towns of Alberobello, Ostuni, Martina Franca and also the beaches of Torre Canne are all worth a visit, so there is plenty to do when you are ready to leave the luxury of the Trullo Terrabronzata and explore the local history and landscape. The nature of the Trullo means it is not suitable for very young children (or people with limited mobility) and indeed there is a minimum age of 25 years set for visitors.

Beautiful villa centrally in Puglia, highly recommended
We spent two really great weeks in this villa. The interior is baroque, with superfluous details and items in every single corner. Bathrooms nice, and kitchen well equipped. The outside is just gorgeous! Pool with patio for shade and really nice view and garden, and great lower dine and barbecue area. Complete rest in the mids of nature! Easy access to all the highlights of eastern Puglia, with our highlights Ostuni, Lecce and Poglignano a mare. Very close to Cisternino, also very nice to stroll around and dine! This is an absolute top villa and lication!!

Beautiful, historic, luxurious holiday home.
Thanks to two embarrassing, drunken englishmen on our Ryanair flight our holiday experience started off with a delayed arrival at Brindisi Airport. This didn’t phase the estate managers of Trullo Terrabronzata, Costanza & David at all. They waited patiently for our arrival, communicated with us throughout and greeted us at the Trullo in a very professional and welcoming manner even though it was almost midnight. Trullo Terrabronzata is a stunning property with three beautiful bedrooms each individually designed and stunningly decorated, we chose the master bedroom with a fourposter bed and ensuite bathroom and had a great night's sleep excited about what the morning might bring. We weren’t disappointed! The property stands in a couple of acres of land stocked with olive and citrus trees. The views are stunning and the surrounding silence is heavenly, we chose to breakfast on the rear veranda adjacent to the living room and kitchen but could have chosen any one of the five seating areas, each with different views and varying amounts of shade or sun. The Trullo is well equipped, maintained to a very high standard and very, very comfortable. We stayed in early October when the nights are starting to get a little bit chilly and although Costanza and David had offered to come back and turn the central heating on we chose to light the log burner. The simple to use stove warmed the whole property through very quickly ensuring that we were warm and cozy every night. The swimming pool is outstanding, detached from the property equipped with it’s own shaded seating area and several sun loungers it is an amazing place to pass the afternoon away. The pool was cleaned in the early hours of the morning, as we had been promised, so as not to disturb us during the day. Just another indication of the owners attention to detail and understanding of their customers needs. Cisternino is a 20 minute walk away and has an abundance of trattoria and restaurants that will suit everybody’s tastes. Cisternino old town is made up of lots of tiny alleyways and squares that quickly transport you back to “real Italy” absolutely delightful. If you prefer to drive there is plenty of space to park. We enjoyed visiting the surrounding towns of Alberobello, Ostuni and Torre Canne but best of all loved getting back to the luxurious surroundings of Trullo Terrabronzata. Don't hesitate book your stay this place is exceptional.

A stylish gem in the heart of Puglia
The owners of this property have really pulled the stops out to create a fabulous and picturesque Trullo that blends easily into the landscape and offers first class facilities for the guests. We have stayed there 3 times over the past few years and will stay there again. Great access to the local village, lovely pool and accommodation well set out to suit a family or six friends.The gardens are a delight and the tranquility creates a peaceful chilled holiday for all ages

Fantastic week!
The week started on such a high note when we arrived at this enchanting house and didn't disappoint throughout our stay. We were delighted with each one of our 3 beautiful rooms and perfect to each have our own bathroom! Lots of privacy! The house was immaculate and beautifully styled, the kitchen was great which really added to the joy of making delicious breakfasts and lunches every day. There are numerous places outside to eat and enjoy your meal in the sunshine! The house is near enough to the beach and quite close to some glorious and interesting towns which kept us busy when we chose to be. ( We were happy by the pool with our books)! Everything worked, we had no problems and we look forward to returning! I highly recommend this house for a wonderful week in a beautiful part of Italy.

Fabulous artsy Trullo close to town
The dive up to this impressive Trullo is perfect. We instantly felt like we were away from it all. The grounds are great, you can see there is work to be done, but as the planting gets established over the next few months it will be beautiful. The pool area is terrific. Enough shade and enough sun for all preferences. We tried all three of the terraces including the roof top! Eating out on the larger terrace for breakfast and supper was perfect. Inside the Trullo, the artwork is great, some a bit risque but all very entertaining. The sitting room and kitchen are a touch small, but perfectly well equipped and we were outside most of the time so it didn't matter. The bathrooms were well designed with bold colours and with 1 full bathroom for each bedroom, there was little argument about who had the best room. The bedrooms are in the lower part of the house so although a bit dark, they were nice and cool compared to the heat outside. We loved how secluded it felt, but were only a 15 minute walk into Cisternino. This meant we could eat and drink in town and stagger back without taking the car, so the situation of the villa was fab. All in all we had a great holiday and we would recommend this Trullo as well as the local area for a true taste of Puglia..

Property is as described and pictured on the web
It is with a caveat that I give this villa and its owner a good review and disappointment that I don't feel able to recommend it to friends and family. Villa is amazing, location is great, owner prior to holiday very communicative. HOWEVER, the property was not cleaned weekly as said in the details, bed linen was changed after the first week but I had to request clean pool towels, a shower that did not drain and flooded when used did not appear to be a problem to the site manager as no effort made to rectify this after I brought it to their attention, a ceiling fan did not work and we were left with noisy floor fans which were not as effective; I was told this will not be fixed! upper terrace dining area had no outside lights so difficult to eat there after dark. The first week we had gardeners cutting grass around us for 4hours, not so peaceful, surely this should be organised on changeover day. Apart from the above, Villa is well equipped, well presented, and very attractive to the eye, the lack of air conditioning was not a problem. On arrival home the owner has stopped communicating, he withheld a sum from our security deposit based on his site managers word without even discussing withus to gain a full insight in to our stay; apparently we left the villa untidy,( i feel this is unfair, I even descaled the kettle as it did not pour properly)the managers had to do a double linen drop( because they did not leave towels the first time when we were there) It is as a disappointed customer therefore that I would not recommend this Villa to my friends and family as the owner is now ignoring my efforts to discuss the withheld deposit.
