Trulli dei Pini

Owned by the same family as the ever popular Parco del Vaglio, Trulli dei Pini is a four bedroom villa with 4 distinctive trullo cones and a private pool, located in Cisternino within a 25 minute walk of the centre of the village. 

A traditional trulli house with four separate trullo cones interconnecting with a modern section, Trulli dei Pini is a good solution for those who like to be within an easy walk of a typical Puglian village. Although there are neighbouring properties, the grounds of Trulli dei Pini are private due to the mature gardens and electric gate.

A pretty pool area is bordered by a small orchard of fruit trees and terraced area for lying in the sunshine, while a poolside barbecue and dining terrace set the scene for many happy al fresco meals. The pool has solar heating.

Furnished in a simple, local style, the accommodation works well for two separate families. In the modern section, there is a spacious double bedroom with en suite bathroom and small twin bedroom with separate shower room. In this part of the house, the is also an open plan living/dining room and kitchen with 4 ring gas hob, oven and fridge freezer. In the trullo, where headroom is limited in some areas, there is a double bedroom, separate bathroom and a twin/double bedroom with shower room en suite.

Passing other trulli houses along narrow country lanes, the trattorias, piazzas and whitewashed streets of Cisternino are within an easy walk from the villa.

Destination introduction

Flying over the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic sea on one side and Ionion on the other, Puglia immediately strikes you as utterly different from the rest of Italy. Far removed from the gentle hills of Tuscany, the flatter countryside of Italy’s heel stretches out before you, covered in puffs of green – endless groves of ancient twisted olive trees, as old as the hills, scattered with white houses, which lead to the beaches and blue sea.

In the fertile hills of Valle d’Itria, round ‘trulli’ houses pepper the countryside, with their conicle stone roofs and pinnacles. It is here that the pretty hills towns of Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni rise out of the flat valleys below, reminiscent of Greece, with their white stone buildings and cobbled streets, dramatic by day but lit up at night, they seem almost magical.

The proud ‘Pugliese’ people describe themselves as ‘nearly in Africa’, not only a reference to the hot summers and southerly location, but also to their Moorish past and strong traditions. Italian musicians perform in some of the most beautiful settings in Puglia throughout the summer months, at coastal towns and village piazzas. Even the smallest villages sprout ‘feste di paese (village festivals), attracting the residents to dance the ‘pizzica tarantata’ to the ancient rythms of the haunting tarantella music. Nearby seafood restaurants are plentiful, but for many it is the informal coastal cafes which hold more appeal, where a plate of fresh sea urchins and local wine after a refreshing dip in the sea is just part of daily life.

Salento is a special part of the Puglia region characterised by rich historical remains from  its Greek and Roman ancestry, whose traces remain both in the architecture and  language of the area. This area is enjoying a cultural renaissance, the extraordinary Baroque towns of Lecce is known as the Florence of the South), and those with an interest in architecture can find many Byzantine remains.

Relaxed,  friendly and with an appetite for good living, the Salento people are almost  universally kind and hospitable. Whilst English may not be widely spoken, a  willingness to help is, and many a time a request for directions has been met  with a guided escort and a friendly wave the only expectation by way of thanks.  Local restaurants serve a population which is passionate about food, so the most basic trattoria generally offers wonderful food at a fraction of UK prices. 

The wonderful coastline offers a great variety of options. Kitesurfing and windsurfing at Puntarenas, rock-jumping for dare devils in the  many grottos on the Otranto coastline, and pay per day lidos for those who like  their beaches manicured and their sunloungers reserved.

During  summer there's a choice of several festas to attend most evenings. Many involve old religious rites, like the carrying of a  Virgin Mary statue around Lecce (August 24-6) or into the sea at Otranto (September 6). Others, like Novoli have bonfires and spectacular fireworks  (January 16-17).  Maglie has a wonderful 5 day food festival during August,  extraordinary in scale and in the quality of its local producers. 

Most  festivals include the pizzica, a fast and compelling rhythmic dance done to the  accompaniment of the tambourine, accordion and violin. The atmosphere is  pulsing, whether it's a modest village festa or the August event in Melpignano,  which has international guest stars and attracts audiences of 150,000. Thousands of lights and torches create a  carnival atmosphere. The pizzica band will start playing at 11pm when young and  old dance together.  The pizzica’s origins are Greek, its function being  therapeutic. Women living hard and restricted lives would dance themselves  through the night into a cathartic trance. The next day they would go to be blessed at the chapel of St Paul in Galatina - a pizzica and special mass is still held there every June.
