Trullis Rosalinda was very beautiful and the perfect place for a family get together. Great amenities and great location. "
Our extended family birthday celebration was a great success - thank you Simpson Travel and Trulli Rosalinda - Francesco was superbly helpful and a real asset to the company. We will no doubt return."
We loved our stay at Trulli Rosalinda. As a party of 9 adults and 1 baby the Villa was perfect for us as there was enough space for us to not feel like we were on top of each other but still close enough. The set areas (pool, fire pit, outdoor..."

The distinctive trulli houses of Puglia are a taste of the region as it was over 500 years ago and, transformed through a four-year labour of love, Trulli Rosalinda is the chance to soak up a little of this history. It’s as much a part of the landscape as the ancient olive trees, and lovingly restored by owners Rosalinda and Leo, it’s a genuinely unique and charming place to stay.
Your accommodation is made up of three traditional trulli houses that have been joined together and extended into one beautifully creative conversion. Within the walls of Trulli Rosalinda, you’ll find two separate areas, each with its own entrance and thoughtfully designed for cordial and relaxed family living. A lovely light open-plan kitchen/diner and living room (with shower room attached) enjoy views across the gardens towards the pergola and pool, while five delightful bedrooms and three further bathrooms are interconnected and accessed separately from another equally appealing part of the garden, with ample space to sit out and enjoy the blissful setting in either sun or shade.
This unusual layout makes Trulli Rosalinda the perfect choice for a family travelling with grandparents or with older children who’d like to feel more independent – and when everyone has their own space, it makes shared time in the communal areas even more of a pleasure.
Inside and out, Trulli Rosalinda is gently styled to allow a more natural beauty to shine through. White walls are edged with stone the colour of amaretti biscuits, whilst arched windows, doorways and wall alcoves reflect the gentle curves of the high, domed ceilings. Sheer curtains gently diffuse the light to create a calm space, with wooden beams and table tops for a homely feel. This more organic approach extends to the garden too. Ancient olive trees, up to 400 years old, provide pockets of shade across the lush green lawns, their gnarled trunks each a twisted work of art and spotlit at night. The infinity pool is circular, the air filled with the scent of lavender growing around it, and when you’re not soaking up the sun by the pool, there’s a solid stone dining table and extra seating with parasols on stand-by. An additional covered area has a firepit taking centre stage for atmospheric evenings or drying off after a late-night swim.
The tiny local hamlet of Cristo Re is than a ten-minute drive away, offering a restaurant, mini-market, bar and bakery. Monopoli, with its historic old town, castle and pretty harbour is just a 20-minute drive away. There you can hire boats, shop for delicious local food and drink and dine out in style.
