Location

Trullo Barbagianni is set within a 6-hectare estate with olive trees close to the picturesque town of Cisternino. Located just off a country road, pass landscapes of olive groves, vineyards, dry stone walls, old farmhouses and trulli as you explore this enchanting part of Puglia known as the Valle d'Itria.

The old quarter of Cisternino, just over 3km by car, will truly capture your heart with its authentic character and charm – it is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Italy. Get lost in the maze of narrow lanes, piazzi and white-washed houses with glorious views of the countryside from its limestone hill. There's a bustling ambience on summer evenings as visitors and locals alike gather to enjoy food from the town's famous fornelli (butcher shops where the meat is grilled in front of you) or drink and dine on atmospheric restaurant terraces.

There are so many more Apulian jewels within a short distance. Ceglie Messapica (19km) lies in the heart of the Valle d'Itria and has gained quite a reputation for its gastronomy whilst Martina Franca (13km) is particularly loved for its baroque architecture. Even closer is white-washed Locorotondo (8km), another one of the country's most beautiful villages, with incredible vistas from its perched position.

Not forgetting Alberobello (16km) of course, the iconic Italian town with its traditional trulli, now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Puglia's most visited destinations. In the other direction, Ostuni (20km), known as La Citta Bianca, is yet another highlight of this captivating region.

Heading towards the coast instead, the Trulli Riviera awaits whether you are seeking idyllic bays, trendy summer beach clubs or charming fishing villages serving local seafood delights. Torre Canne (13km) is the closest stretch of coastline with its long sandy beach, lighthouse and thermal baths. Meanwhile, golf lovers can enjoy a round at San Domenico Golf Club (21km) whilst this area also offers horseback riding and seasonal watersports.
