Trullo Monte Zuzzù

Living in a trullo is a unique experience - little rooms with a domed ceiling; conical roofs built out of blocks of white calcareous stone, crowned by curious pinnacles of all different shapes; metre-thick walls, either white or in warm colours, which keep the inside cool during the heat of summer, but warm in winter; recesses in the walls used for shelving and cupboard space; set in pleasant age-old welcoming countryside, with an assortment of seasonal fragrances.
 
Monte Zuzzu is a charming typical three-coned trullo, set in lush countryside amid age-old olive groves and Mediterranean maquis vegetation, with an outstanding panoramic view over the sea, just 7 km from the long sandy beaches that mark the bottom of the Adriatic coast, 7 km from Cisternino and 15 km from Ostuni, the two of the most enchanting towns in the Itria Valley.
Monte Zuzzù can give you the best of both worlds, combining a peaceful relaxing holiday in the country and at the beach with trips to some of the most interesting places in the area - Bari, Castel del Monte, Trani, Alberobello, Lecce, and Otranto, not to mention the delightful cities in the Itria Valley in the immediate vicinity.

The trullo is built on the side of a hill, and from the panoramic terrace, you can enjoy some of the most unforgettable sunsets of your life - we are sure that that will be one of your favourite memories of Zuzzù.
In detail
Trullo Monte Zuzzù is in fact an ancient complex of trulli, which has been completely refurbished in traditional style, perfectly suited to the needs of the modern world.

It is made up of a living room, with table and chairs, recesses and shelving, a twin sofa bed and a clothes hook on the wall.
   

From the living room, you get to the double bedroom through a delightful little doorway, built into the wall, with recesses in the walls acting as bedside tables and wardrobe, a wooden chest of drawers which comes away to reveal a large recess where suitcases and other bulky objects can be stored.
   
A characteristic archway leads from the living room to a small kitchen equipped with everything you will need.
Bathroom with running hot water and shower.
   
On the outside, five steps lead up to a panoramic terrace with a table, sunshades and sun loungers.
   
Separate bedroom


Next to the trullo is a so-called "lamia", a typical stone construction with a "tortoiseshell" roof, which has a double bedroom with recesses, wardrobe, clothes hooks, washbasin and toilet.
On the outside there is a lovely terrace with furniture carved in stone, shaded by thriving plants such as rosemary, caper and bay.
Hidden among the olive branches is an outside shower
 

Rental period from Saturday to Saturday. Includes electricity and gas, bedding, towels and kitchen linen.
