Trullo Lu Puzz is surrounded by a large well-tended garden full of medlar trees, prickly pear and other fruit trees. On the terrace are loungers, tables, and shady stone and tiled benches, while hidden away in a peaceful corner is an outside shower, cunningly concealed behind a grape vine. The large interior has central heating and two fireplaces, creating atmosphere and intimacy in winter, and is divided up by thick walls and doors, guaranteeing privacy for anyone who stays here. The kitchen is functional, with lovingly-restored authentic furniture from the early 1900s, while a corner with two benches is taken up by a large fireplace which was once used for cooking.
A doorway leads from the kitchen into the large living-room area, with a table seating 8-10 people and two comfortable sofas, one of which opens out into a queen-sized double bed. The living room holds the second of the house’s fireplaces. The first bedroom sleeps 2, with a wrought iron double bed with mother-of-pearl inlays, chest of drawers and wardrobe create an attractive, serene atmosphere. The second bedroom’s intimate feel owes much to the architecture and the stone it is built with. The bedside tables and the wardrobe are set into the walls.

The third bedroom has bunk beds, a comfortable double sofa-bed and a wardrobe. This is an ideal kids’ bedroom, but still comfortable and functional enough for a couple, or even for up to four friends. Finally, there are two elegant spacious bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a bath. The trullo has a colour TV, washing machine and dishwasher. Overall, Trullo Lu Puzz is ideal for 6-8 people looking to combine the comforts of this world with relaxation and traditional beauty.
