After a busy, fast-paced professional life and years of travel, the owners of this small luxury hotel in Italy switched gears, coming back to southern Italy to begin anew. Their road led to the famed Itria Valley and its unique region dotted with Trulli, where they identified the beginnings of a dream.
Discovering a property that beckoned them back to the simple life, they set about restoring the property and it’s unique structures.
Originally constructed as temporary agricultural dwellings, the enchanting trulli are found only in the specific region of the Itria Valley and the seamless renovation allows you to understand how the first inhabitants lived.
With their distinctive conical roofs and humble interiors, these formerly primitive huts have not lost any of their original charm.
Trullo 19 sleeps four and draws inspiration from the idea of “creative recycling,” with furnishings, objects and raw materials that were given a second chance thanks to Vlab Art Design.
The en suite space is equipped with an outdoor kitchenette with a wood fired oven (an optional private chef offers cookings classes for an authentic taste of Puglia), a private patio overlooking the main courtyard with a dining and sitting area, with access to the terrace for exclusive use.
Immersed into the olive groves and surrounded by countryside, it’s a peaceful authentic way of life that invites you in.
