Trulli della Mirandola

A quintessential trullo restoration that is both functional and stylish.

Set in a lovely garden of olive and fig trees, sun-baked earth and dry-stone walls, Trulli della Mirandola offers comfort, peace and a pleasing minimalist atmosphere that is perfect for those in search of relaxation. Time spent by the pool is time well spent indeed, though you shouldn’t miss out on a few trips to nearby Cisternino, one of the Valle d’Itria’s loveliest towns.

Inside: accommodation is spread across two buildings, a trullo and a poolside guesthouse. The trullo has been restored and refurbished so as to maintain the charming original features and minimalist atmosphere that are so characteristic of Puglia's most iconic constructions.

The main entrance accesses a large hallway and sitting area, off which are two double bedrooms and their adjacent bathrooms (one with a super moulded sunken bath and one with shower). A short corridor leads through to the extremely pleasant and spacious open-plan kitchen diner and living area whose enormous sliding wall-length windows offer seamless communication with the gardens and an al fresco dining area.

The poolside guesthouse, surrounded by a shaded wrap-around terrace, comprises a double room with en-suite shower room and a connecting twin room, also with en-suite shower room. This latter may be used as a living area if not required as a bedroom. Both can be accessed independently from the pool area.

Outside: a short path from the trullo leads down between the fragrant Mediterranean shrub-planted gardens to the guesthouse and the delightful pool, which has a large, well-furnished pergola.

For lovers of al fresco dining, Trulli della Mirandola offers an enticing number of options: one just outside the trullo kitchen, one down by the pool and another in the garden, complete with built-in barbecue area.

The whole property is surrounded by several acres of whispering olive groves, offering a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere in which to wind down after a hard year's work.

The kitchen has a combi-oven/microwave rather than a conventional oven.

Please note that the pizza oven is decorative only and not for use.

This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.

The depth of the pool ranges from 1.5m to 1.8m.

Given the countryside location, the Wi-FI signal is quite weak at this property.
Trulli della Mirandola is set in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, a few minutes' drive outside the charming town of Cisternino. The geography and views in and of this area are what many consider to be the "typical" Puglia. Rolling hills, groves of centuries-old olive trees, trullo cones everywhere you look, whitewashed towns bleached further by the southern Italian sun.
But Trulli della Mirandola is close to the beach too: a drive of about 20 minutes will take you to a long sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast, where you can either pitch up where you find a space or check in at one of the stylish lidos on the coast.
Towns not to miss in the vicinity include Ostuni, the whitest of all the whitewashed towns nearby, Locorotondo (literally the round place) and Alberobello (where you will see enough trulli to last a lifetime).
