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 ‘Black Truffle‘. 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
