Though Puglia boasts almost 600 miles of dazzling coastline, the region’s rural landscapes are equally captivating and nowhere more so than in the Valle d’Itria, homeland of the conical-roofed trulli that give the area such character. And this is where you’ll find Trullo Ashi, nestled amongst the olive groves in a blissfully tranquil spot close to Cisternino. If you are looking for a place that combines the charm of Puglian tradition with the ease and convenience of a contemporary villa, this is perfection.

The main house has been artfully designed to offer all the luxurious comfort of a modern home, with vaulted ceilings crafted from the beautiful local stone offering a nod to the area’s rich architectural heritage and adding to the sense of grandeur. Interiors are elegant, tastefully furnished and superbly appointed with inspired splashes of colour to bring it all to life. The abundance of open-plan living space is perfectly geared for entertaining family and friends, arranged over a single storey, and offering four bedrooms - two doubles with stylish en-suites and a further double and single bedroom with shared bathroom. The original trullo acts as a delightful annexe in the gardens with its own private outdoor space complete with loungers and jacuzzi; with an additional en-suite double bedroom it’s an ideal retreat for older teens or grandparents seeking a little space of their own.

Trullo Ashi benefits from a slightly elevated position with all outside areas enjoying romantic views across the fertile countryside and the magnificent pool terrace to the side of the property is an enchanting place to lie back and while away the hours under the ethereal light of a Puglian sky. The outdoor kitchen, complete with pizza oven and barbecue, has all you need to prepare some of the region’s local dishes and open-air living is further enhanced by a veranda running the length of the main house, providing shade from the midday sun and a magical setting for meals enjoyed the Puglian way – slowly and in good company.

This luxurious haven is a stunning venue for larger groups to gather together for a first class Puglian adventure, with easy access to the regions many attractions, including Alberobello, Ostuni and the Adriatic beaches. The only trouble is, it’s so comfortable you may find it hard to convince anyone to leave!
