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.
