Crowned rather regally with three conical roofs, and facing a large oak tree from which it takes its name, this ’trullo’ is a delight. Completely restored and renovated (2004) the fixtures, furnishings and tiling are of the highest quality and all display lovely little touches. The proud owners live next door in a separate villa and, between the two properties, there is a stone pizza oven and barbecue area. A 10m x 5m swimming pool (open June 2005) has been constructed so close to the front door that it’s only around 20 paces for a refreshing dip to be yours for the taking! Elevated slightly higher than the surrounding Apulia flatlands the air is more cooling here. In fact we are 6 kilometres from Locorotondo, a town-on-high that resembles Jerusalem. The glorious Adriatic is a mere 20 kilometres at Torre Canne and, closer to home, shops are to be found just 40 metres away.

The property is just off a quiet secondary road. Ample parking. The front door is across a delightful terrace, great for al fresco meals especially in the evening when guests can witness the sun going down over orchards and olive groves.

Entrance into a dining area with open fireplace. Through an arch into a cosy seating area. Beautiful kitchen equipped with double sink unit, fridge, 5 ring gas hob and oven. Immaculately tiled mosaics adorn the shower room, WC, towel rail etc and with washing machine. One twin bedded room. One double bedded room.
