The Trullo

Our trullo is situated just outside the tiny village of Pascarosa, in the green heart of Puglia, between Ostuni, 'la Città Bianca', with its shining white walls, and Martina Franca, an enchanting baroque town. We called 'Il Paradiso' because of the magical peacefulness of the land and gentle noises of nature. It is set amongst acres of ancient olive trees, figs, almonds, pomegranates, and other fruit trees. Sweeping views of distant hill-town villages can be enjoyed from every window. Birds are happy here.

Trulli were the traditional homes of this area, built with local stone without mortar - they are cool in summer and keep the heat in winter.

When we bought the trullo three years ago it was in a derelict state but the sight of the ancient olive trees and almond blossom set within 4 acres of land made it impossible for us to resist the purchase. We kept all the original cones and alcoves and original features and made it comfortable and charming by adding two bedrooms, a bathroom and a living /kitchen area. There is also an open fireplace for the cosy winter nights.

In the morning you can choose which fruit you want for breakfast and pick it freshly minutes before eating it!
