About this property

Trullo Martinese is a beautifully restored trullo previously lived in permanently by the owners as their family home and now offered for holiday rental. The spacious and homely accommodation features many original stone features throughout and comprises of a living area and open plan kitchen/dining area, large 25sqm main bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower room, twin bedroom (can be made up as a double on request), main bathroom and utility room with washing machine. To the rear of the property is a verandah with luxurious cushioned built-in sofa and dining table and chairs, providing the perfect place for shaded al-fresco lounging and dining. To the side of the verandah is the private swimming pool of 10 x 5 metres, surrounded by mature plants and flowers. (The swimming pool is open May to October and is for the exclusive use of guests at the trullo). Steps lead up to the roof terrace which is perfect for watching the sunset, as well as taking in the 360 degree panoramic countryside views which stretch across to Locorotondo, Cisternino and Martina Franca. The trullo sits in its own grounds of 10,000sqm and is situated on a quiet private no-through country lane amongst olive groves and vineyards. The location provides wonderful open countryside views, and is just 7km from the beautiful Baroque town of Martina Franca and stunning hilltop town of Locorotondo. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alberobello is just 10km away, and just a little further are the popular towns of Cisternino and Ostuni. Beautiful beaches on both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts can be reached in a 30 minute drive, whilst the must see towns of Matera and Lecce are both just a 75 minute drive away. The airports at Bari and Brinidisi are both roughly a 60 minute drive. The English owners live just down the road from the trullo and as such are always available for help and advice if required, such as restaurant recommendations, suggestions of places to visit etc etc, whilst of course ensuring your total and complete privacy at all times.

Beautiful surroundings and rustic charm

The trullo has a fantastic location, away from the road, but not remote. Easy access by car to stores in Martina Franca or Locorotondo or Alberobello. Daytrips to Bari, Matera, or Monopoli are within easy reach. The trullo is comfortable and well appointed. At night it is very quiet. The porch is a great place to spend an afternoon. It was too cold to use the pool in April, but it had already been opened.

Great Trullo in Martina Franca

Clean, well-appointed space and great hosts; Nick and Sarah were very helpful and responsive before and after my stay. The pool is a bonus and welcoming respite after a day of visiting neighboring towns. Location js convenient to do day trips to Locorotondo, Alberobello, even Matera! An amazing start to my Italian vacation!

Fantastic

The Trullo, is as beautiful as the pictures. Sarah and Nicholas are brilliant hosts, going above and beyond, making our holiday even better than expected. From the welcome gifts of homemade soap and olive oil to the delicious biscuits. We would definitely recommend them and their Trullo and hopefully we will be back. Thank you so much to you both.

Perfect place to unwind

Lovely setting, great views with glorious sunsets. Very comfortable accommodation. Lots to explore near by but remote enough to totally relax and unwind. Our nearly teens loved the pool. Good for nights in or out - we particularly liked Martina Franca. Will return for sure one day.

A Trullo experience in the country side

An old trullo expanded to accommodate 2 bedrooms and 2 baths…good location for our daily self-guided tours…definitely need a car!…pool was nice but only one day in high 20s made it usable…all good though! Be prepared to kill little bugs on the regular hahahaha We didn’t cook any meals other than breakfast…the host offers prepared meals at a price but we were out and about most times or just brought some bread, cheese, olives back home!

Terrific Trullo

Trullo Martinese is a fantastic property, more than we expected. The Trullo is located off the beaten track but close to some great towns. For us, Locorotondo just pipped Martina Franca but both have interesting old towns with a variety of restaurants and bars. All the main attractions of this part of Puglia were close by with some good beaches only half an hour away. Nick and Sarah are great hosts, thank you.

Another relaxing holiday

Another visit to Trullo Martinese, this really is a perfect Trullo for a relaxing holiday. Well fitted out with a kitchen that has everything you need for a successful self-catering holiday (even down to the weighing scales to make your own pasta and focaccia if you wish, which I did). The owners are lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them with an excellent information on the locale with suggestions for restaurants, etc. I am sure we shall be returning.

Beautiful and relaxing holiday

We loved our week long stay at Trullo martinese. From the idyllic setting, to the lovely interiors and the very warm welcome from the owners, we had a fantastic week. The scenery is gorgeous, very quiet and relaxing and the trulli’s facilities (especially the pool !) are fantastic. Fresh figs from the tree every morning for breakfast and homemade olive oil were a great local treat. And a shuttle service from Sarah into the local towns for a night out meant we enjoyed the buzz of the local towns as well as the quiet daytimes. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

Adult break

Wonderful trullo in a lovely part of Italy. Nick and Sarah were great hosts and provided us with everything we could possibly need. We made full use of the produce available in the garden and although slightly later in the year enjoyed the pool especially after a day of visiting one of the local white towns and Matera.

This is a beautiful property. We would highly recommend it. Sarah and Nickolas were excellent hosts, making us feel very welcome but also respecting our privacy. We took advantage of Sarah’s cooking and were served 2 delicious Italian meals: we would highly recommend. The garden and pool area is stunning. Look forward to our return 😊

5* Holiday Destination

This house has everything you need for your stay in a quiet peaceful location with plenty of options on restaurants and shops in the towns nearby. We were spoiled with being able to pick fresh figs and plums from the trees in the garden every morning for breakfast. The pool is fantastic with all day sun and is surrounded by lavender so you can't help but relax. The veranda is ideally located to watch the sun go down in the evening with a glass of wine. We had a really great holiday and could not recommend this house highly enough.

Traditional Trullo in a tranquil location.

We had a lovely peaceful stay in this spacious traditional Trullo. It was very well equipped and spotlessly clean.The location is off the main road up a gravel track so a smallish car is advisable. It was beautiful and quiet with panoramic views across the countryside. The gardens surrounding the trullo and swimming pool are well maintained. It is well located to visit the surrounding hilltop villages and places of interest and easy access to both Bari and Brindisi airports. Nicholas and Sarah our hosts were very helpful and we enjoyed a home cooked meal and breakfast which can be ordered during your stay. Overall a lovely holiday which we intend to repeat sometime in the future.

Perfect Italian countryside retreat

Really fabulous trulli set in a beautiful garden. Hosts Nick and Sarah could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Location is excellent, the nearby Martina Franca is beautiful with excellent restaurants. Many sights in the area and beaches only 40 minutes away. If anyone is concerned about the lack of air conditioning then don't be - the trulli is designed to be cool and fans are provided as well. We survived the Italian heatwave when the night time temp was in high 20s every night - no disturbed sleep at all!

Wonderful stay at Trullo Martinese - would go back in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay at this trullo in September '22. It has a ideal location as very private yet only a short drive to Martina Franca and well placed for must-visits to other nearby towns. The trullo is spacious inside with well-equipped kitchen that perfectly met our cooking needs, but the star of the show is the fantastic space outside and the pool which was perfect for cooling off. We had a wonderfully relaxing week enjoying the outside space and evening barbeques at the trullo. NIck and Sarah were great hosts - attentive and quick to respond to any queries, but also left us to a private week at the trullo. Clear communication ahead of our arrival, straightforward check-in and useful recommendations were very much appreciated.

Relaxing and peaceful

This Trullo is absolutely gorgeous and is much roomier than the photos suggest. The photos do not do it justice. Sarah and Nicholas were very helpful and we knew where they were if we needed them for anything. Great location for visiting all the places of interest but a car is essential for this. Beautiful countryside, olive groves, vineyards, and Trulli all around. Loved the private pool but it was a wee bit cold at this time of year. The aroma of the herbs in the garden and around the pool is quite intoxicating.

A wonderful place away from it all

Excellent property, excellent hosts. Genuine ex-farm/vineyard Trullo villa with pool in a large patch of its own land in a secluded location. Ideal for getting away from it and chilling by the pool or visiting the beaches or nearby towns of the Val d'Istria (Martina, Alberobello, Locorotondo) or further afield (Lecce, Matera). Plenty of space inside and out. Watching the sun go down from the roof terrace or pool is a must. Hosts live in the next house which adds a sense of security, surety and on-hand service! Minor downsides: off-mains water, so bottled water needed; there was loud music from a local town echoing up the valley late in the night on a day we were there.

A place to relax

I can honestly say that me and my husband (and I am sure I speak for our friends) found the trullo a beautiful place to holiday. The countryside setting is peaceful and very restful, with amazing fruit trees in the garden, particularly the fig tree which was well used. The Trullo is beautifully appointed, with all linens supplied, and the kitchen well appointed. The owners even leant us a slow cooker! The owners are near by and nothing is too much trouble. There are great views from the roof to the surrounding towns. The pool is kept beautifully clean and cleaned throughout holiday. If you want a relaxing holiday in a lovely area, in a beautiful trullo then I would highly recommend this rental.

Family vacation in Italy

This was my first time using VRBO internationally and I was extremely happy with the service and the owner. I really appreciated that they allowed a 100% refund as close to my stay and that they didn’t require final payment so far in advance. Many American rentals are not so generous or trusting. Fortunately, our travel went as expected and there was no need to cancel, etc. The trullo was lovely and Sarah and Nicolas were so helpful throughout the process. Communications were great and the trullo had all the necessities for cooking meals at home which was much appreciated. They had Italy books and a well thought out binder with restaurant recommendations and instructions that was also much appreciated. The best part was the pool and absolute idyllic location. We swam and went for walks in the olive groves which was just amazing. Martina Franca is just magical. Thank you so much!

Lovely rural location, near facilities

We had a lovely stay at Trullo Martinese. Nicholas and Sarah are excellent hosts, available when needed but unobtrusive otherwise, and the Trullo is very private. The Trullo is in a very rural location, but less than ten minutes' drive to Martina Franca. We never felt cut off, and enjoyed the countryside around us. The access road is quite rough, so don't hire a sports type car! The VW Golf we had was fine. We loved the pool and outside seating area in particular. We tended to retreat indoors in the evenings when the insects came in - one of us is susceptible to insect bite reactions - and found the indoor space to be comfortably cool. We slept very well in the spacious bedroom. One day Sarah kindly drove us into town, and collected us during the evening. Another time she cooked us a meal, adapting the recipe to accommodate one of us who can't eat cheese. It was delicious and plentiful, highly recommended. We easily visited local villages whilst there, with easy drives to get there, and helpful parking recommendations from Nicholas and Sarah. This is a fabulous place to stay and we would happily return if in this part of Italy again.

Beautiful countryside location

Stayed in early May, unusually cold weather for this season, so we didn’t get to use the outdoor pool too much. In spring the property is very green and alive with wildflowers and red poppies. It was simply stunning. The Trullo is in very good condition and was spotless. Nick and Sarah were wonderful and very accessible. The Trullo is located off a very quiet dirt road, so peaceful, I can’t stress that enough. The store is about 10 minutes away in Martina Franca. It is a wonderful location for day trips to other towns. It was a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back. The only thing we had an issue with is the bugs. Bugs like the inside of the Trullo very much. Wear shoes when you walk around. We found a scorpion on the living room floor one morning and I had a large centipede crawling down my back after getting out of the shower. Skittish people be forewarned-You are in the countryside, after all.
