Trullo Lavinia is situated in a peaceful but not isolated location with lovely rural views, less than 5 minutes by car from the centre of Cisternino with its excellent restaurants, cafe bars and shops. The pretty whitewashed town is situated on a hilltop overlooking the magical Valle d Itria. The centro storico (historic centre) has lovely old buildings and winding alleyways. The larger towns of Martina Franca and Ostuni are close by - both great for shopping!

The property has been restored and equipped to a very high standard to ensure that you have a pleasant and relaxing holiday. It has 4500sq.m. of land with fruit and olive trees and a variety of aromatic plants. A pergola offers shade to the outdoor table and chairs for al fresco dining.

Puglia runs from the spur to the heel of the Italian boot. It is a land of rich red earth, ancient olive groves and unspoilt coastlines. The nearest beach is less than 15 minutes by car from the house. The area produces wonderful fruit, vegetables, olive oil, pasta and an excellent selection of high quality DOC wines, all readily available. Dining out is much cheaper than in the UK and there are plenty of opportunities to sample the local specialities.

Trulli (ancient dwellings with conical roofs) are found only in the Valle d Itria. The main concentration of them is in Alberobello, a UNESCO site, about 30 minutes away. 15 minutes beyond Alberobello is Castellana Grotte, the largest system of underground caves in Italy with the most beautiful crystalline formations.

Other interesting places to visit a little further afield include the octagonal Castel del Monte, built by Frederick II in the 11th Century and Matera, where homes and churches are carved from the rock. An hour away down the coastal motorway is Lecce, known as "the Florence of the South", for its Baroque architecture.

In the Trullo you will find plenty of information about these and more places of interest, together with local maps.
