The Area
Trullo Melograno is situated just to the east of the charming historic town of Ceglie Messapica. Gorgeous Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views is close by. The Valle d'Itria is probably best known for its trulli, and nowhere are these more in evidence than in the picture-postcard town of Alberobello. Several other lovely towns, such as Locorotondo, Cisternino, Martina Franca and Taranto are also well worth a visit and easy to get to. If you are looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers stretches of sandy and rocky coast 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 Med. Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.

Trullo Melograno was so much better than the images. The grounds are beautiful, the internal layout and interior design are inspiring. We couldn't have wanted for anything more. We had a magnificent family holiday, peaceful and relaxing around the trullo.

Trullo Melograno was a delightful surprise. It was very privately situated, quiet, and has wide reaching views of the surrounding olive grove countryside. The pool area is lovely and peaceful. The interior was very comfortable and not cluttered. Overall, a very nice villa and we would return. The caretaker was especially helpful and kind, we felt well cared for.

We loved Trullo Melograno - it was beautifully furnished, clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed our time with friends in lovely accommodation and loved having the chefs come - the food was delicious.
