Beautiful trullo with private pool in rural setting - family friendly, sleeps 6

Mandorleto is a beautiful, spacious (150m2) trullo flanked by traditional lamias and panoramic views of ancient olive groves and medieval towns perched on the hills of Valle d’Itria - a perfect holiday home for families with children of all ages. The 2 Ha (5 acres) private property with century-old olive trees, fruit trees, and local flora lies on a hill 5km from Ceglie Messapica, the gastronomic capital of Puglia. The location is peaceful, very private and only a 10-minute walk from Seppunisi farm where you can buy local mozzarellas, cheeses and other fresh dairy products 7 days a week.

A highlight is the swimming pool area overlooking the olive grove and surrounding countryside. There is a spacious terrace with 6 comfortable sun beds where you can soak up the sun or relax in the shaded gazebo on warm summer afternoons. The gazebo with a stone dining table that comfortably seats 8 overlooks the pool and courtyard in front of the trullo, making it an ideal location for both day and night entertainment.

Mandorleto was fully renovated in 2012 using traditional materials to create an authentic trullo experience with modern comforts! Small archways, hidden alcoves, and domed ceilings give a mystical ambiance that only a trullo can generate. All floors are made from ‘Trani’ marble, a honey-colored stone from local quarries. Windows have mosquito netting, traditional outer grills and shutters that can be left open at night to let in air. Walls up to 2m thick ensure that temperatures inside stay pleasantly cool during hot summer months.

Mandorleto can comfortably sleep 6. There are 3 bedrooms – 1 master bedroom with double-bed 2,10m x1,60m; 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds 1,90m x 0,80m. A baby cot and high-chair can be provided upon request. There are 2 bathrooms with walk-in showers, bidet, toilet, and washbasin. The living room with 2 sofas, lounger and fireplace is located in the main trullo. The spacious kitchen is bright and fully equipped for gourmet cooking with extra large fridge to keep drinks cool. There is a dining table that comfortably seats 6, a small seating area next to a wood burner and double-doors leading to a spacious, shaded terrace with large stone table for outdoor dining. The BBQ area is next to the terrace, a laundry room with washer & dryer is behind the kitchen, there is free Wi-Fi with strong signal throughout the house and swimming pool area. A secure parking area for 2-3 cars is located on our property.

Great Trullo experience
Unique stay in a traditional Trullo style house; plenty of room, with style and character. A spacious kitchen and a nice sized pool. Situated about easy 10min drive from Ceglie Messapica town along a quite narrow but reasonably good road. A good base location to visit some of the towns in Val D’Itra

Thank you!
We have a truly wonderful stay. The house is exactly what we needed - spacious, clean, peaceful, practical and beautifully placed in the countryside. It was fantastically helpful to be guided to the location by Hayley and Anthony (who are absolutely amazing). Our two children (6 and 8) loved every minute, as did we. Thank you!

Idyllic holiday
Fabulous property, great location for a restful time, the region is stunning, un-spoilt and local towns are beautiful. Food and wine was off the charts and so nice not to see The Red Lion or others of that ilk, just Italian through and through. Both coasts are stunning, Matera and Alborobello were amazing as was most of what we saw. The owners were very easy to deal with and the property hosts could not have been more accommodating if they had tried. The nearby pizza restaurant in the hills was charming, the food was very good, the location lovely and the staff were amazing!!! Overall a fantastic holiday, will be back in the future, could not recommend this place and region more highly!!

Unique and beautiful trullo in Ceglie Messapica
We had a great vacation at the trullo. Robert provided excellent and detailed information about the house and surrounding area. Staying at the home provided an authentic feel of trullo-living with the benefits of modern amenities and a beautiful pool. My only suggestions are a few more fans and some roadwork on the bumpy local neighborhood road.

Fun property very well equipped
The checking in and information pre holiday was superb and we knew exactly what to expect. The Trulli are split so one end has two bedrooms and a bathroom while the other end has another bedroom and bathroom. That was great for us as for our daughter and son in law could then have some privacy. The pool was wonderful and with temperatures often mid 30's it was lovely to cool down or just have an early morning swim There is a bar b q and one of the Ceglie supermarkets has fresh fish and gave us appropriate fish to cook. It's not a very touristy part which is nice.

A piece of paradise in Puglia
As a true Puglia lover, I was on the hunt for a property which could cater to my family as I wanted to share the beauty of the region with them and Trullo Mandoreto exceeded our expectations. Ceglie Messapica is my preferred location in Puglia and this property is in the perfect location, only a short drive from the town but still amongst the beautiful olive groves and near to the local farmshop Masseria Sepunisi which was amazing for cheese, yoghurts and ham. The trullo itself was brilliant and allowed my family to have the most wonderful holiday. Robert and Ina have created a beautiful home which allows you to relax whilst enjoying the magnificent pool, views and BBQ. We particularly enjoyed how there were many seating locations which gave everyone enough space. The trullo was beautifully clean and comfortable and was the perfect setup for 6 adults sharing. We spent many nights having wonderful BBQs and watching the sunset. We highly recommend the local pizzeria which was recommended to us by the lovely Hayley and we also dined at Osteria Pugliese for a very laidback dinner as well as our usual favourite Da Frano and Relax. Special shout out to Il Brillo Parlante on Centro Storico in Ceglie Messapica which is a beautiful bar/restaurant in a historic square. Thank you so much to Robert and Ina (and Hayley!) who made our experience of staying here perfect. They are the best hosts I have ever experienced and my family are keen to return. Thank you again!

An unforgettable, amazing
Mandoroleto exceeded our expectations in every way.The house is spacious and attractive with something special in every room. We are a group who cooks and we have never had such a well equipped and well organized kitchen. We enjoyed the ripe persimmons. Excellent information was provided to help us with the house and in our explorations, on foot and by car, of the area. We enjoyed our peaceful and fascinating stay immensely.

Our short stay in Puglia
Property very attractive and worked well for family of 4. Nice pool and outside space. Location good but some distance from nearest town and shops. No problem as long as you have a car. Nice couple who met us at property and were there as we left.

This was truly a winner!
Beautiful trullo in a remote area, which is very easy to reach by car. The Trullo has everything you need for a wonderful stay, including a large swimming pool with wide sun beds. The landlord is very detailed and careful with the information provision: the description of the house with the possibilities, the restaurants and the sights, everything is listed in detail in a clear folder. In the immediate vicinity is Ceglie Messapica, the culinary center of the region. It is truly delicious food in one of the many restaurants. The many sights are also very easy to reach from the Trullo and worthwhile. Robert & Ina, thank you for the pleasant stay and the many fine suggestions you gave us. This was truly a winner!
