Trullo Antico is an ancient trullo located 15 km from the sea, up at selva di Fasano, on top of a rolling succession of green hills that surround the Itria valley.

It lies around 7 km from Fasano, 13 km from Alberobello, 25 km from Ostuni, beautiful towns renowned for their whitewashed old city centres, their excellent wines, fine cuisines, and their Romanesque and Baroque architecture. This ancient trullo is highly recommended for wine lovers, as the owner is a sommelier, and a wine expert who enjoys matching up the contents of her wine cellar with the finest Italian cuisine.

Part of a historic rural settlement, Trullo Antico preserves the authentic charm of old country houses, and is perfect for a group of four people. It is made up of four "cones", which form a large entrance/living room, which has two traditional arches. One arch leads into a well-equipped little kitchen space and an intimate comfortable lounge, while the other takes you to two double bedrooms and a shower room. The house is surrounded by a garden dominated by fragrant Mediterranean maquis, as well as jasmines and bougainvillea. An ancient olive tree provides shade for the front patio, which is paved with ancient flagstones.

Trullo Antico has been refurbished using original materials and without altering the layout of the house, but concentrating on comfort and functionality. Lovers of fine wine will enjoy meeting the owner, a sommelier and a great source of quality wine tours. The kitchenette is spacious andfunctional, with a working top cut from a single stone slab, inset with a circular steel wash tub and a four-ring gas cooker, as well as an electric oven and fridge.

The roomy entrance/living room has two archways, one leading to the kitchen and the other to the comforts of the lounge. Table, chairs and cupboards: all of the furniture is wooden, in the traditional Apulian country style, creating an atmosphere underlined by the useful wood stove, which warms the trullo in spring and autumn. The lounge is intimately furnished with a comfortable sofa, an armchair, a hand-made iron and copper coffee table, an ethnic carpet, a television, a recess in the wall (all that is needed now is some fine wine to complete the picture!).

From the lounge there is a pretty doorway into the first master bedroom, with a comfortable queen-sized bed, perfect for a couple, the head painted by young Luigi; the rest of the room is furnished with ethnic drapes , a bench, a painted wooden chest, a traditional straw-covered chair, a Brazilian wooden mirror, and an iron-studded wooden clothes-hook.

The second doorway from the lounge leads to the other bedroom, which has a double bed, a linen chest, a clothes-hook made of wood and iron, a bench and a bedside table. Two large recesses in the walls can be used for storing personal possessions and linen, while an archway in the thick wall can be used as wardrobe space. The gracefulwindow, framed by bougainvillea flowers, brightens the room and looks out onto the garden.

The fully-equipped bathroom is one of the prettiest parts of the house, with its fascinating old stonework: from the top where the washbasin is set, to the mirror-frame, made from the opening to an old well, to the walls and the prestigious shower, embellished by an "umbrella" in chrome steel and a pretty recess in the wall; a blue window opens onto the garden. The outside, shaded by anancient olive, tree is completely paved with ancient cobblestones, furnished with two white sun umbrellas, a wicker rocking chair, a lounger, and a table and chairs.
