The Area
OttoConi is situated between the beautiful "capital" of the Valle d'Itria, Martina Franca, and the picture-postcard trullo town of Alberobello. Several other lovely towns, such as Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views, are close by. Taranto is also well worth a visit and easy to get to.
If you're looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers stretches of sandy and rocks and some excellent lidos. The Ionian Sea is a little bit further, but the long expanses of sandy beach found there are amongst the loveliest in the Mediterranean.
Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.

Wine and olive oil tours in Valle d'Itria
The Valle d’Itria boasts its own “wine road”, running between the towns of Locorotondo and Martina Franca. The former, which perches atop its very own hill, is yet another of those picture-perfect towns that the Valle d’Itria excels in. After spending a little time exploring its achingly beautiful streets and admiring the wonderful views, we recommend you head down to one of the terraced vineyards below to taste Locorotondo’s renowned white wine, arguably the best in Puglia. We know the best places, so just say the word and we’ll organise a tour anda tasting for you.

Thank you for OttoConi. We loved being there. The trullo is beautiful and we lived there as if it was our home. We enjoyed the tranquillity of the country, the beautiful mornings and the gorgeous sunsets. We greatly appreciated all the amenities. The views of the fertile fields connected us to the hopefulness of nature.

We had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay at the beautiful Ottoconi, surrounded by the beautiful Puglian landscape. What stood out was the location, the grounds, and the interior space. We would return for the location and the comfort and peace of the villa.

OttoConi is like a blooming flower with a revelation of beauty behind each new unfurling: the transition from the paved road on to the rugged path leading up to the house, the pink sky at dusk over the fields and haystacks, the flowers placed on the table outside, the fire pit and pine smoke at night, the cool laps in the pool, the smell of fresh towels, the well-though-out lighting that enhances the mood, the trees and lanterns and roosters and butterflies and lizards and flowers and swallows and donkeys. This is not to mention the many fun excursions to the nearby towns and beaches or all of the cherished memories we've created wit our friends and family - including our new extended famiglia with the staff. You have created such a special and magical space.

We were warmly welcomed at OttoConi by the owner, and this genuine care and attention to make our stay at the villa, and our holiday in this area, as enjoyable as possible. The trullo has been beautifully restored to a high standard. The outdoor area with the pool, dining and seating area, is spacious and relaxing. The villa is private and was in a great location. We hope to visit this area again in the near future and would definitely stay here.
