Trullo Apulia: swimming pool, jacuzzi & steam room
The Trullo Apulia is an exclusive property, made by recovering an original ancient historic domed house (called "Trullo Saraceno"), enriched by a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and steam room for private use, in a scenic location, just 2 km from Ostuni and 10 km from the beautiful beaches of Puglia. It can accommodate up to 8 people. Note: the reservation fee does not include consumption of electricity (€0.50/kWh), gas (€5/m3) and the tourist tax (€1/day for each person for the first 5 days) that will be calculated and paid at the end of your stay. Exclusive property with swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room for private use, 8 beds, panoramic location, 2 km from Ostuni and 10 km from the beautiful beaches of Puglia. Note: the costs of electricity, gas and accommodation tax are not included in the rental fee and must be calculated and paid at the end of the stay. Italian Version The Trullo Saraceno Apulia is an exclusive property with a swimming pool for private use, in a panoramic hillside location, just 2 km from Ostuni and 10 km from the beautiful Apulian beaches. It has 2/3 double bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (one with a Turkish bath, a whirlpool tub and an emotional shower), 2 living areas (with 2 double sofa beds), 2 kitchens, 2 fireplaces and can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. A unique atmosphere that combines unmistakable Mediterranean style with the most modern comforts, for an exclusive and original stay, dedicated to relaxation, privacy and natural well-being. The property consists of 2 housing units (Saracen trullo with 3 cones + lamia) that are totally independent, but communicating with each other, separated by a lockable door. Each unit includes a dining room with fireplace, satellite LED TV and double sofa bed, a kitchenette complete with appliances (fridge-freezer, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, small appliances) and a bedroom with private bathroom, complete with emotional shower for chromotherapy. Ideal for 2 families of friends who, without prejudice to privacy, can enjoy common moments of relaxation and fun, it can also be used as a single housing unit, using one of the two living areas as a third double bedroom. All rooms in the house are air-conditioned and have WiFi internet connection. Guests have private parking available. The entire property has a maximum capacity of 8 beds, providing its guests with 4 bathrooms, including 2 complete interiors, a wellness area with a Turkish bath, aromatherapy, a large whirlpool tub (overlooking a suggestive rock wall), an emotional shower with chromotherapy and toilets and 1 outdoor bathroom (toilet+sink) with a shower. The exclusive saltwater infinity pool with whirlpool is surrounded by the greenery of the Mediterranean maquis. This oasis of privacy and relaxation has everything you need, including a solarium area, an outdoor shower, and a bathroom. The depth of the pool water meets the legal requirements to ensure maximum safety even for the little ones. There are many furnished outdoor spaces and minimal chic settings that allow guests to have lunch or dinner on a large panoramic terrace shaded by a straw gazebo or to enjoy, as soon as they wake up, a rich outdoor breakfast, in an area equipped right in front of the French window of their bedroom, breathing the scents of the fields, in the intimacy of the early morning light. At sunset, the uniqueness of the trullo and the surrounding garden are further enhanced by the evening lighting, which will give you new emotions and an unforgettable charm, brightened by the unmistakable flavors of grilled food on the barbecue. The housing complex is the result of a very recent renovation of buildings of historical value (the Saracen Trullo with its characteristic white dome is even older than the cone-shaped trullo), in which the skilful recovery of the materials, techniques and canons typical of Apulian architecture and history, have allowed a restoration of interiors and exteriors that maintains a strongly evocative and respectful line of the places, even in the furnishings with light and natural colors, designed with the utmost attention to detail and consisting of unique and original pieces. The charm of the location is unparalleled: the building overlooks a terraced garden characterized by the typical dry stone walls, beyond which it opens, as far as the eye can see, on an area of about 6,000 square meters of exclusive use of the house, a valley of magnificent centuries-old olive trees on red earth. A citrus grove, an orchard, large areas of Mediterranean scrub, among which there are many plants and aromatic herbs, reveal images, in a riot of colors and scents of unspoiled nature that illuminate the eyes and cheer the mind. The typical Apulian fruits and vegetables, totally organic, are available to guests. NOTE: Trullo Apulia promotes sustainable use of electricity and water (photovoltaic panels are present and to heat domestic water) and we would like our guests to do the same. For this reason, we do not include electricity consumption on a flat-rate basis in the rental costs, but it will be counted according to the actual consumption that we will verify together, trusting in your responsible use (for details, see the section "Other things to consider").
