About this property
An ancient Trullo surrounded by olive trees with a gorgeous saltwater pool
Trullo della Scrittrice is nestled in an acre of olive and fruit trees within ten minutes of Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica - Ideal for a family or two couples, but not too big for a couple looking for a bit more space.
The Trullo consists of a spacious air-conditioned living room with a well equipped open plan kitchen with two bedrooms and a spacious shower room. The airy Trullo bedroom with its king sized bed is situated in the oldest part of the property beneath the ancient trullo cones. They say sleeping here is a magical experience like being back in the womb, the Lamia bedroom provides two more beds, making the property ideal for a family or friends sharing.
Across the sun drenched terrace is the 11x5 meter saltwater pool. The perfect spot to soak up the sun or take a swim. If that's all too much why not take a book or listen to a podcast under the shady poolside gazebo.
To take away any of the stress from your arrival we provide all your linens and towels and offer a 'Welcome Basket' of local treats, plus all the essentials to get you started - so you can just unwind and relax straight away. If you can drag yourself away from this idyllic spot there are ancient towns, blue flag beaches and WWF nature reserves to explore all less than half an hour away. We have you covered with a comprehensive list of the local sites, restaurants and shops - so you don't even need to do any research!
If you'd like to try some delicious Pugliese food, cooked for you at Trullo della Scrittrice by TV chef and food writer Sophie Grigson contact her on info@trullidelicious.com - and do mention your staying with us at Trullo della Scrittrice - but do book early to avoid disappointment!

About the host
Hosted by David and Francesco
David and Francesco moved to Puglia in 2012 to get away from the hustle and bustle of London and start a new chapter in their lives.
David has years of experience in hospitality and retail, most recently as part owner of the award-winning boutique âBlack Truffleâ. Francesco has been a stylist, designer and fashion consultant in both London and Rome. When David finally managed to coax Francesco to return to his native Italy, the two brought with them a unique flair for design, which is reflected in the decor at Trullo della Scrittrice and beautifully compliments its original charm.
David and Francesco have worked with people from all over the world, so you will definitely be assured a warm welcome where they will be on hand to make your holiday a memorable one.

Why they chose this property
We moved to Puglia in May 2012 where we bought Casa della Scrittrice which we opened as an intimate B&B the following year. Since then we have spent our time since exploring and discovering all Puglia has to offer. We finally decided it was time to share the secret of this beautiful region with more of you, so when Trullo della Scrittrice came up for sale, just next door, we knew it was the perfect location to be able to make that happen....
What makes this property unique
If you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind from a busy hectic life, Trullo della Scrittrice is that place.
Situated in an acre of land in the countryside just outside Ostuni, you will be surrounded by olive trees and gardens with your own private salt water pool.
Just sit back and relax while you soak up the glorious Puglian sunshine or just jump into the pool for a swim or simply to cool off from the summer heat, whichever, this really is the perfect spot!
If you do have to work during your holiday there is still no better place, take out your computer and make use of the fast free WiFi.
In the evening take a cold glass of wine or aperitivo out to the gazebo and unwind while you sit and watch the sky turn from blue to red as the sun sets.... then light up the BBQ or just head out to one of the great local restaurants
