Trulli Donnagaro sits in quintessentially Italian gardens, deep in the olive tree-dotted Ostuni countryside in Puglia. Your tucked-away idyll features a stylish villa and a traditional trullo, both reached via a sweeping driveway that passes through the lush and picturesque grounds that surround Trulli Donnagaro. You can appreciate this impressive approach every day, as you return from a peaceful walk through the countryside.
Between them, the main villa and trullo sleep six people in three en-suite bedrooms. The independently accessed trullo is home to a master suite, with an indulgent bathroom under its typical conical roof. There's an enchanting atmosphere throughout, with a strong sense of both heritage and romance.
The contemporary interior and modern comforts of the villa create a luxurious look and feel, with lovely touches to reflect its rural setting. Enjoy meals at the quirky dining table, with a base made from tree trunk sections that connects you to the area's natural beauty. Lovingly selected custom-made ceramic objects add even more warmth and personality to the already inviting open-plan living/dining room with kitchen.
You're only ever a few steps away from the glorious outside space in the trullo's master suite or the main villa's two restful bedrooms. The trullo also boasts a private patio with table and chairs and sun loungers for an early morning coffee or evening drinks. And for al-fresco drinks and meals at any time of the day, there's the covered terrace with kitchen, dining table and seating area.
Also set within Trulli Donnagaro's lawned gardens is a large swimming pool for refreshing dips on hot days. Whether illuminated by the afternoon sun or atmospheric lights by night, the outside space allows you to truly appreciate having your very own slice of the Puglia countryside.
The city of Ostuni, also known as 'The White City' due to the whitewashed buildings in its old town, is less than 15 minutes away by car. There's plenty of sightseeing to do in the city, with several other Valle d'Itria towns also offering a mix of culture and history within a 40-minute drive.
Torre Canne is a popular nearby resort with sandy beaches and lidos to enjoy. It's also famous for its mineral-rich natural hot springs. Parco Dune Costiere is a stunning natural park, with olive groves, wetlands and coastal spots to be explored either by bike or on foot.

Location:
With Trulli Donnagaro being in such an idyllic spot in the Ostuni countryside, you can enjoy total peace and tranquility by simply staying put! But when you do want to explore the area around the villa, you'll find plenty of charming walks on offer.
A range of amenities are available in the nearby city of Ostuni, which is less than a 15-minute drive away. It's the ideal place to go for a delicious meal, with a number of restaurants serving traditional Italian cuisine and modern dishes. Stock up on groceries in the shops and supermarkets in the city also. And if you visit on a Saturday, you can browse the weekly fresh fruit and vegetable market for local produce.
Ostuni is also known as 'The White City'; a name that comes from its whitewashed old town. Some of the highlights here include the city walls and a 15th-century Gothic cathedral. The whole city is like a labyrinth, with networks of alleyways and staircases, so it's a beautiful place to simply walk around and discover hidden corners.
There are many other Valle d'Itria towns within an hour's drive of the villa. Alberobello is famous for its numerous trulli, which line its charming streets and give it a fairytale-feel. Cisternino, Martina Franca and Locorotondo are all towns with their own distinct personality that are well worth a visit.
The coast is only 30 minutes away by car, with Torre Canne being a popular resort with lovely sandy stretches. Torre Canne is also famous for its natural hot springs with mineral-rich waters.
Another natural highlight in the area is Parco Dune Costiere. Take leisurely walks through olive groves and get close to the sea by exploring the wetlands and sand dunes. You can also go on a guided tour to learn more about the flora and fauna of the park.
