Villa

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.
