About this property
Encircled by ancient olive groves and dry-stone walls, Trulli Serenità lies in the heart of the Itria Valley. A cluster of historic trulli rising from the Apulian countryside, every inch of this thoughtfully restored stone dwelling invites you to reconnect with nature, with tradition and with yourself.
This home is arranged into two separate, self-contained spaces. In the main apartment, a modern double bedroom with en-suite sits beside a white-washed sitting room with a sofa bed, exposed stone and compact kitchenette. The separate studio trullo, accessed externally, is a smaller yet romantic hideaway with its own pretty kitchen corner, alcove double bed and shower room - simple, beautiful and full of character.
Step outside and the world slows to a gentler pace. A hectare of private land unfolds around you, carpeted in silvery olive trees and punctuated with cacti and rosemary. Days drift easily beneath the shade of the pergola, where long lunches stretch into afternoon siestas and evenings are spent dining beside the barbecue. The private pool, edged by ancient trees and serenaded by birdsong, is a refreshing escape from the summer heat.
Trulli Serenità lies just 5km from Ceglie Messapica, a hidden gem known for its authentic charm and celebrated culinary scene. Nearby Ostuni dazzles with its whitewashed beauty and coastal views, while Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Alberobello offer layers of history. For beach days, the crystal-clear waters of Torre Guaceto or the rocky coves near Marina di Ostuni are a leisurely drive away.
Whether sharing moments with loved ones or savouring solitude, Trulli Serenità is a place to rest in the Puglian sun.
In the countryside of Ceglie Messapica, Trulli Serenità offers a picturesque retreat among ancient olive groves and traditional dry-stone walls.

Just a short drive away lies Ceglie Messapica (5.5km), a historic whitewashed town renowned for its excellent food scene and rustic authenticity. Wander its narrow lanes, discover lovely shops and dine in one of the many acclaimed trattorias. Slightly further afield, the gleaming city of Ostuni (11km), known as the La Città Bianca, beckons with its majestic hilltop views and striking architecture.
Venture deeper into the Itria Valley to explore a collection of characterful towns. Cisternino (20km) is known for its atmospheric old town and local butchers-turned-restaurants. Martina Franca (23km) boasts elegant Baroque buildings and a lively cultural calendar, while iconic Alberobello (38km) enchants visitors with its fairy-tale trulli-lined streets, a unesco World Heritage site.
For beach lovers, the Adriatic coast is within easy reach. Discover the unspoilt beauty of Torre Guaceto (25km), a protected marine reserve ideal for swimming, snorkelling and nature walks. Or head to Costa Merlata (23km) for crystal-clear coves nestled among jagged shores.
Those craving soft sands can head south to the Ionian coast, where Campomarino di Maruggio (49km) and San Pietro in Bevagna (50km) offer long stretches of white sand and calm, Caribbean-hued waters, perfect for a day trip from your countryside haven.
