About this villa rental

Mandorleto is a beautiful, spacious (150m2) trullo flanked by traditional lamias and panoramic views of ancient olive groves and medieval towns perched on the hills of Valle d’Itria - a perfect holiday home for families with children of all ages. The 2 Ha (5 acres) private property with century-old olive trees, fruit trees, and local flora lies 5km from Ceglie Messapica, the gastronomic capital of Puglia with some of the best restaurants in the region. The location is peaceful, very private and only a 10-minute walk from Seppunisi farm where you can buy excellent burrata, local mozzarellas, cheeses and other fresh dairy products 7 days a week. The terrain is gently undulating with narrow, stone-wall country lanes winding through olive groves and gardens with picturesque houses & trulli, a beautiful area for early morning/evening walks.

Highlight is the swimming pool area overlooking our olive grove and surrounding countryside. There is a spacious terrace with 6 comfortable sun beds, 4 deck chairs and umbrellas. Here you can soak up the sun or relax in the shaded gazebo on warm summer afternoons. There is a large, stone dining table with 6 chairs that can comfortably seat 8 overlooking the pool and courtyard in front of the trullo, an ideal spot for both day and night entertainment.

Mandorleto was fully renovated in 2012 using traditional materials to create an authentic trullo experience with modern comforts! Small archways, hidden alcoves, and domed ceilings give a mystical ambiance that only a trullo can generate. All floors are made from ‘Trani’ marble, a honey coloured stone from local quarries. Windows have mosquito netting, traditional outer grills and shutters that can be left open at night to let in air. Walls up to 2m thick ensure that temperatures inside stay pleasantly cool during hot summer months.

Mandorleto can comfortably sleep 6. There are 3 bedrooms – 1 master bedroom with double-bed 2,10m x1,60m; 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds each 1,90m x 0,80m. All bedrooms have air conditioners (installed October 2025) and low-noise standing ventilators. A baby cot and high-chair can be provided upon request. There are 2 bathrooms with walk-in showers, bidet, toilet, and wash basin. The living room with 2 sofas, lounger and fireplace is located in the main trullo. The spacious kitchen is bright and fully equipped for gourmet cooking with a second large fridge to keep drinks cool. There is a dining table that comfortably seats 6, a small seating area next to a wood burner and double-doors leading to a spacious, shaded terrace with large stone table for outdoor dining. The BBQ area is next to the terrace, a laundry room with washer & dryer is behind the kitchen, there is free Wi-Fi with strong signal throughout the house and swimming pool area. A secure parking area for 2-3 cars is located on our property.

Beautiful, spacious and fabulous trullo in a very peaceful location. We had everything we needed during our stay, the beds were very comfortable and there were lots of places to socialise or find your own space (indoors and outdoors). Ceglie Messapica was a short drive away and offered lots of restaurants. Anthony was very welcoming and responded to any queries straight away. We would highly recommend this beautiful trullo. Thank you.

This house was comfortable and spacious, well equipped and pool was great! Outside shady area next to pool is good but needs an extra layer of bamboo do that you don’t get sunburnt through the shade. Lovely comfortable seating by the pool. Great location close to beautiful towns to visit - Martina Franca, Ostuni, Alberabello, Monopoli etc. Really good pizzeria in closest village but you need to book - lovely open air village square dining area.We loved the roof terraces with panoramic views.All in all a great holiday and lovely property - only improvement would have been aircon which would have been great when the temperature got to 43 degrees. The fans in each bedroom were good.

From the beginning, months before our stay, the communication was always easy and very usefull. We had been welcome by Anthony, who gave us many tips and suggestions of restaurants, attractions and things to do in the area.The trullo is very well equiped and lovely decorated. Our family enjoyed the garden, the pool and the terrace. During our stay it was very hot but unfortunately no air conditionner in the house, just fans in each bedrooms…It was still very hot and I would say that this is the only negative point.If you want to have the impression of being alone, cut off the world, this is the perfect spot! The city of Ceglie Messapica is lovely and very good restaurants!We would recommend this place to any one but you must have a car!

Robert was absolutely the ultimate host. He could not have been more helpful prior and during our stay with information about the area including restaurants, beaches, and even bike rentals which he helped arrange. The house was perfect for our family of 4 including 2 adults and 2 children. It was very hot during our stay and the house stayed cool. The very nice pool was a welcome escape from the heat. The location was amazing, being out in the country without a sound, but close enough to Ceglie Messapica for incredible restaurants, food shops, and cultural activities. The diary farm a short walk from the house has the most delicious yogurts, cheeses, etc... Multiple beaches are only 30-40 minute drive and we found the lidos, along with their restaurants (varying from snack bars to restaurants) really fantastic. Ceglie Messapica was our favorite town and very real but we also visited Ostuni and Cisternino which are a little more touristy, but still worth a visit and we had great meals there. We loved discovering Puglia, in large part thanks to our stay at Roberts home, and will be back!
