Historic villa with trulli in the Itria Valley, surrounded by nature

HISTORIC VILLA SET IN THE ITRIA VALLEY<br><br>The property is located in the heart of the Itria Valley, the southern part of the Murge Plateau—that is, the karst depression that stretches between the towns of Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Martina Franca, where the three provinces of Bari, Brindisi, and Taranto meet. This is a truly strategic location for tourists, as it is equidistant from the main tourist attractions: the historic centers of Cisternino, Locorotondo, and Martina Franca; the UNESCO site of Alberobello, the “capital of the trulli”; the Grotta Bianca in the Castellana Caves; Monopoli; Polignano a Mare, the birthplace of Domenico Modugno; the Salento region; Ostuni; Bari, which, at 15 km, boasts the longest seaside promenade in Italy and Europe; Lecce, the pearl of the Baroque; Brindisi with its Via Appia Antica; and much, much more…<br>That’s why it’s called the Itria Valley.<br>The name Valle d’Itria derives from the chapel of the Madonna dell’Odegitria, which means “she who guides” or “she who shows the way,” located in the Church of the Capuchins in Martina Franca, where an ancient image bears witness to the Byzantine-origin cult introduced in theearly 11th century by the Basilian monks<br>This is a very ancient property featuring trulli and lamie, where you can experience the magic of sleeping in a trullo with its imposing limestone walls plastered in pure white lime—a property jealously guarded for generations. The style and furnishings of the property tell stories of a bygone era, which you can appreciate through portraits and historical photos of rural life of the past, all while enjoying every comfort needed to make your stay truly unique and pleasant.<br>There is a spacious kitchen with a bright and airy dining room where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast provided by the house or perhaps cook a delicious lunch or a sumptuous dinner—and why not use the organic, locally sourced produce grown in thefamily garden and paired with an artisanal white or red wine made by Angelo and Filomena.<br>There are two bedrooms—one with a double bed and one with twin beds—and you can experience the thrill of sleeping in a trullo built by a master trullo builder, Giuseppe, known throughout the valley, who constructed this complex of trulli and lamie in the last century.<br>A spacious and comfortable bathroom equipped with a washing machine is available to guests and accessible from the master bedroom.<br>Another highlight of the property is the outdoor area, perfect for both you and your children: completely surrounded by nature, with a spacious pebble garden and a newly renovated lawn that also features a small fountain; and for those who’d like to enjoy a well-deserved afternoon nap in the shade of a centuries-old chestnut tree, all you have to do is take advantage of it. Right by the entrance, there’s also a lit gazebo where you can dine al fresco in the evening or enjoy a game of burraco or other board games in complete relaxation.<br>The property is located right next to the historic Apulian Aqueduct Bike Trail. The Apulian Aqueduct Bike Path is a 500-km cycling and hiking trail that connects some of the most fascinating and still underappreciated places on the peninsula, culminating in Santa Maria di Leuca with a monumental waterfall into the sea.<br>In the fall, the so-called “vendemmia”—the harvest, carried out strictly by hand—takes place for young and old alike, involving the picking of ripe grape clusters for the production of white and red wines. This is followed by the olive harvest; in fact, you’ll be able to sample fantastic bruschetta made with organic extra-virgin olive oil—with an acidity level below 0.5% and rich in antioxidants—that will tantalize your taste buds: you’ll be pleasantly surprised!<br>We guarantee a zero-environmental-impact stay thanks to on-site production using renewable energy sources and the use of energy derived solely and exclusively from renewable sources certified by the GSE, with a focus on carbon neutrality.<br><br><br>SERVICES:<br>Parking lot monitored by CCTV.<br>7.4 kW electric vehicle charging <br>Bike rentals of all types, including electric bikes (simply book the service)<br>Guides to tourist attractions and shareable links via WhatsApp, Telegram, and email, including maps with points of interest, rest areas, and
