From the ‘citta bianca’ of Ceglie Messapica (recognised as one of Puglia’s most renowned gastronomic centres), country lanes wind their way through a landscape of olive trees, vineyards and trulli. Along one such lane sits Trullo Messapica, set in grounds of Mediterranean pine and olive trees, encircled by dry stone walls.
Original features include the large stone paved courtyard and the trulli (their conical domes looking like upturned ice cream cones!) whilst the colour palette of white and natural grey, with a flash of green from the tumbling jasmine, contributes to the overall feel of rustic simplicity. Pathways through the grounds lead to another terraced space and the pool, a recent and most essential addition to the property.
Inside, the trulli are now bedrooms, one with access out to the front terrace. An extension to the rear of the trulli accommodates the other bedrooms and the bathrooms. To the right, a long corridor with large sliding glass doors link the bedrooms to the living area and galley kitchen. Throughout the colours are neutral, in keeping with the simple décor and the light airy atmosphere.
With Ceglie Messpica’s reputation as a gastronomic centre, you will find a plethora of excellent restaurants in the town (4km), which showcase the local produce and seasonal dishes, not forgetting the regional wines. And after indulging in the food and wine of the region, why not hire bikes to explore the famously scenic countryside and the hilltop towns? Or head to the coast for walks through the Torre Guaceto nature reserve, sea kayaking or swimming in the dazzling azure blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
- Typical of many properties in Puglia, the trullo sections of Trullo Messapica have external steps leading to the cone shaped roof. Please note that access to the roof is not allowed.
