Description
Located amidst cherry and olive trees in sweeping Puglian countryside just 4km away from the town of Castellana Grotte you will find Trulli Piovanello. This 19th-century trullo is an incredible home, typical of those found only in this area, and has been lovingly restored to create the perfect blend of old and new.
As you approach this dazzling white home you will see a house of two halves; the restored complex of 5 trulli buildings with their traditional cone-shaped roofs and the adjoining modern extension which is connected via a glass walkway. The accommodation is thoughtfully distributed across the main trulli, a charming stone tower and a modern extension that house the living room and kitchen. The five cones of the trulli offer a spacious entrance hall, a double bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom and a cosy alcove with two single mattresses (can be converted into a double bed) ideal for children as it does not have a door. There is also another large bathroom with a shower.
From the trulli a corridor with glass walls leads to the modern extension, which includes a stylish living room, a fully-equipped kitchen and conveniently a guest bathroom with laundry facilities. The autonomous stone tower, separate from the other two buildings, is spread across two levels. On the ground floor an entrance with a small hallway and a bathroom. Upstairs you will find the final double bedroom. Both levels are connected by an internal staircase but each has its own private entrance.
The garden is a wonderful oasis in which every detail has been perfectly thought out; from the internal courtyard which houses an ancient olive tree, to the fabulous glass-sided infinity pool.
Despite being set in a rural landscape; the villa is only 4km away from Castellana Grotte which is the nearest town. The town is named after the amazing prehistoric cave network which you can also visit and was once a medieval feudal estate owned by local lords. Lots of the medieval buildings remain, including the town hall and the Santuario Madonna della Vetrana church. /n Security deposit /n €500 charged to client's credit card as a pre-authorisation at least 2 weeks prior to arrival and refunded two weeks after departure, subject to full inspection.
