About this property
Set on a hill in the countryside near Locorotondo, Trulli Di Erinaceo is an authentic Italian retreat in the heart of Puglia’s beautiful Itria Valley. Surrounded by oak forests, olive groves and vineyards, this charming Trulli combines the timeless charm of traditional trulli architecture with thoughtful contemporary style. Inside, around 150m² of living space has been carefully arranged to create a welcoming yet refined atmosphere, where local stone and clean modern lines sit alongside a curated collection of artwork.
What makes this home especially unique is its artistic soul. The villa showcases a permanent exhibition of works by Apulian painter Manlio Chieppa, along with pieces by other regional artists, turning your stay into an immersive cultural experience. Four individually designed bedrooms each feature their own en-suite bathroom, while the living spaces flow easily into the outdoors, reflecting the property’s philosophy of blending interior comfort with the surrounding landscape.
Outside, the villa opens onto peaceful grounds designed for relaxed countryside living. The outdoor area includes a barbecue and outdoor kitchen and dining area, perfect for leisurely meals beneath the Puglian sky, while the private swimming pool invites long afternoons soaking in sunshine and the panoramic views. Set within a private grove rich in natural biodiversity, this wonderful setting offers a restorative escape, while only a short drive away to the nearest villages of Locorotondo and Cisternino.
Located in the countryside and only 5km from the whitewashed hill town of Locorotondo, this villa enjoys a peaceful position in the heart of the Itria Valley, one of Puglia’s most picturesque regions.

Nearby, you can also explore the iconic trulli houses of Alberobello (around 15km), the elegant streets of Martina Franca (12km) and the atmospheric villages of Cisternino and Ostuni, each offering lively piazzas, excellent local restaurants and traditional markets.
The Adriatic coastline is also within easy reach, with the sandy beaches and beach clubs of Torre Canne, Savelletri and Capitolo around 25 minutes by car.
