About this property

Trullo Carlotta, Rural Location, Enclosed Private Pool, Sole Use Only

A lovely extended and refurbished Trullo in a quiet rural location but only 5 minutes drive to the small town of Castellana Grotte. It has been our family holiday home for over 17 years and is ideal for a private family getaway, large groups or two families wanting to go on holiday together. The Trullo sleeps 7, has 4 bedrooms; 2 double, 1 twin and 1 single (cot available on request) and 3 bathrooms; 2 en suite and 1 with a bath. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven/hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine and opens out onto a shady patio. It has a cosy sitting room with 2 small sofas.

The villa is tastefully decorated with many of the furnishings locally sourced from potteries and antique markets. Many of the pictures and prints on the walls are by the owner, Caroline, and fellow artists.

The fabulous large enclosed private pool is for sole use with plenty of shade and surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cherry orchards. The pool was retiled last year and is a lovely iridescent blue/purple. There is a room underneath to store games, toys for the pool and suitcases.

There are many places to relax outside - around the pool, on the garden patio surrounded by vines and fruit trees, and the outside dining area. There is a WiFi, table tennis table, books, DVDs, games, TV with all the main networks available, and plenty of drawing paper and colouring pens.

We started planting the garden 10 years ago and it is now becoming established with a small orchard of olive and fruit trees, oleander, jasmine, bougainvillea, and lavender. There are plenty of opportunities to sit and eat outside either of the two patios or by the poolside.

It is close to the historic towns of Conversano and Putignano. The beach, Polignano a Mare, Alberobello (the Trulli Capital) and hilltop towns of Martina Franca and Locorotondo are only a short drive (30 - 60 mins) away.

Our nearest town, Castellana, has everything that you need, including plenty to watch in the square during the summer months.

Please note that during the months of July and August bookings are from Saturday to Saturday and for a minimum of 7 nights. At other times we accept booking of 4 nights or more. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by caroline Johnstone

Host profile image
Paul and I live in Harrogate in North Yorkshire, UK. We have three children; Charlotte, Tamsin and Toby. We have been holidaying in our Trullo in Puglia for the past 17 years and love it. When we first bought the Trulli it had just one bedroom and the kids had to sleep in the kitchen and in the alcoves! We have spent the past years gradually improving the property and making friends in the area. We hope everyone who comes to the Trulli enjoys their holiday as much as we do. Caroline Johnstone

Why they chose this property

We always loved coming to Italy for holidays and we wanted somewhere that was a little bit off the beaten track, local and unspoilt. When we first saw the Trulli it looked so peaceful and was so unusual that we knew we would love staying there. The kids loved the privacy and space and its quirkiness. Every year we have been able to change or add something to the house and gardens. Every year we discover new things about the area and the people who live here.

What makes this property unique

Where we are is so quiet and private. We love the Trulli - its cool in the summer and cosy in the winter - it has its own character and history. It is enveloped by olive groves and vineyards - we are not overlooked and so can fully relax in our surroundings and by the pool. We also love having so many things to do on our doorstep; whether chilling by the beach, strolling through the narrow streets in one of the surrounding towns, drinking coffee or prosecco in a local cafe, or visiting the sights. There always seems to be something going on in the evenings in the small as well as large towns and people here are friendly and helpful. It gives us a chance to recharge our batteries and spend time with each other.
