I Trulli Sul Mare - Trani

Quiet trullo with outside kitchen and beautiful sea view

This unique, gorgeous property was the perfect jumping off spot for our weeklong Puglia adventure. The owners, brothers Enrico and Mario, were the ultimate hosts, personally welcoming us on arrival and making sure we had everything needed for our stay. The trulli bedroom was a fantastic cave-like structure where it seemed impossible not to get a good nights sleep as it was so dark. And the outdoor, very well-stocked kitchen had everything needed for cooking meals at home. (The coffee they provided was incredible, btw…) The property is in a gated community and has a short path to a private stone beach, and there are pomegranate, orange, lime and lemon trees in the property’s orchards, along with cacti and many wild herbs. The fragrance is incredible! It was a great stay for the three of us and we would love to return someday. Thank you Enrico for your hospitality and recommendations! And for a pizza dinner on our last night! Unforgettable.

We were looking for a genuine experience close to the sea. We found it here, and more. The trulli are renovated to a high level of design and comfort. The bathrooms are well thought out, new and everything is super clean. We spent most of the time outdoors in the beautiful, vast gardens. Our breakfasts overlooking the sea or the barbeques in the evening were just wonderful. It is a 2 min stroll down to the peaceful pebble beach, so you can have your swim before breakfast with a beach just to yourself. To stay in Trulli sul mare was a truly unique and wonderful experience. The setting is marvellous, natural and secluded but within a gated complex of holiday homes so there is both privacy and safety. There are a lot of great restaurants and beaches nearby. Our host Enrico did not only provide the best capsuled coffee we've ever had, brought fresh fruit from his garden and had great advice for any of our plans, he was also a great person to talk to and spend time with. I wish we would have had more of that, it was really nice to meet you Enrico!! We had the best time here and we warmly recommend this place to anybody. Don't miss out on this gem!

The Trulli sul mare were a wonderful discovery and made for a great vacation. Located just steps from a lovely pebbled beach, the property is spectacular, with views of sun, sky and sea. The old stone buildings have been beautifully restored, and are very comfortable while maintaining their ancient character. The outside, shaded kitchen is a lovely addition that keeps you connected to the natural beauty of the outside environment. The beautiful and lively port town of Trani — with its stunning seaside cathedral — is 5 km to the south; the picturesque fishing village of Bisceglie is just a couple of km to the north, with lovely fish restaurants, pizzerie and bars. Enrico, the architect who designed the restoration of the trulli, and his brother Mario are knowledgeable, helpful and generous hosts who provided wonderful recommendations about the the property and surrounding area. Many thanks to them. We, a family of three, felt very lucky to stay in this very special place
