Trullo della Luna typical farmhouse with exclusive pool 10x5 m

'Trullo della Luna' is an original 'casedda', the typical farmhouse with vaulted cones, now accurately restored with a wide exclusive swimming pool aside, it is the typical building house you can find in Valle d'Itria: it’s a classic four-cone rural trullo. Only the local peasants once used this type of building and now its shapes are appreciated by the entire world and are representative of this Italian region and its ancient culture. This area of Apulia is becoming a new-Chianti, a place where the nature fuses its beauty into the controlled, quiet human environment. I bought this trullo when it was completely abandoned. As I am an architect, I saw it as if its dry-stone blocks were the ruins of an ancient temple, and I have restored it with a great enthusiasm. My aim is to rent it for holiday stays and use it for my familiar purposes.
Renting this property, guests will obtain the exclusive use of the entire dwelling, the garden and the swimming pool for the agreed period.

Let me point out the importance of this ancient rural architecture: I delighted to visit and study all the ancient ways of doing the trulli (trulli is the plural of trullo). I verified how all small constructive solutions are a concentration of popular wisdom.
The original cones are made without the use of any plaster and the craftsman who was committed to do this type of activity was always a specialised workman.
Nowadays there are only few specialists for doing all these details. I have funded the restoration of Trullo della Luna having clearly the aim to preserve all these aspects.

Approximately 20 km from trullo there is the Natural Reserve of Torre Guaceto, a stretch of uncontaminated coast with beautiful small beaches of crystal clear waters. The park extends itself for approximately 1,000 hectares of land and 2,000 hectares of sea including about seven kilometres of uncontaminated small bays of golden sand alternated with beautiful headlands.
Other tourist goals to visit are in Oria and Carovigno, Ceglie Messapica with their beautiful ancient castles, then Mesagne, Manduria, Ostuni, Massafra, Castellaneta, the beautiful town where Rodolfo Valentino was born, Grottaglie famous for the handmade ceramic products. Other suggested beaches are in the Golfo di Taranto, in particular Campo Marino, Torre Collimena, Punta Prosciutto with its marvellous white sand.

The Swimming pool (10x5 m; 1.40-1.50 m deep) is all to yourself and away from prying eyes! It is in use during the following tourist season: from April 27, 2024 to September 30, 2024. Ask if you have particular necessities or you desire to stay out of this tourist season. YOU WILL NOT PAY the extra amount set for the swimming pool (-170 €). Please do not use an instant booking but send a booking request if you desire a stay at the beginning or at the end of the tourist season.
I always have considered my tourist rental activity as a healthy 'open window facing the world'. I rent properties also in central Venice and Bologna. For me it's a way to travel and meet people staying in front of my laptop so, any question is welcome and I will be pleased to reply.

Have a good stay, Paolo
