Il Trullo di Ben

Il Trullo di Ben sits in the countryside outside Locorotondo, in Puglia's Valle d'Itria, a region known for its conical-roofed trulli and whitewashed villages. This one dates to the late 1800s and has been fully restored in a clean, all-white style, with a double bed, a full kitchen and a bathroom fitted with every comfort.

Outside, there's a private garden patio and a landscaped pool for the exclusive use of guests staying in the trullo. No other guests share the property during a stay, so it works well for couples wanting a quiet few nights, or for families who book the adjoining studio as well. That studio sits next to the main trullo, has its own entrance, a front garden and a private bathroom, and can sleep two more people; it has no kitchen, so it's rented alongside the trullo rather than on its own.

The location puts guests close to some of Puglia's best-known stops: Locorotondo is 3 km away, Alberobello (a UNESCO site) is 10 km, Martina Franca 8 km, Cisternino 15 km, and Ostuni 25 km. Both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts are reachable within half an hour's drive. It's a practical base for exploring Baroque towns, caves and Neolithic sites by day, then returning to the pool and garden in the evening.

The property is hosted by Ugo Reggi and is listed on several booking sites, though booking directly through the official website is noted as the more rewarding option. Contact details and phone are available for direct enquiries about dates and rates.
