Description Trullo & Olives: Ceglie Messapica

A restored 19th-century trullo set within ancient olive groves – this estate in Ceglie Messapica is the kind of place where the surroundings do most of the talking. Sleep beneath centuries-old stone vaults, cook under a soaring arch in the heart of the original structure, then spend the afternoon drifting in the heated pool with the olive trees rustling around you. The fourth bedroom sits apart along a stone garden path, ideal for a couple wanting extra breathing room. Adriatic beaches are around fifteen minutes away, but you may find it hard to leave.

Home truths:
* While the fourth bedroom and its en-suite bathroom aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. This bedroom is set slightly apart from the main house and has it's own entrance.
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* Pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
* The twin beds in the third bedroom can be pushed together to make a super-king – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that setup.
* The kitchen is on the compact side for a large group – it's well-equipped, but if you're cooking for nine, you'll want to plan meals with a bit of extra time and patience.
* You're in the Valle d'Itria countryside, so you'll need a car to reach the beaches, villages, and restaurants. Free parking is available.
