Description

Trullo San Marco is a delightful, recently restored traditional trulli farmhouse with a private pool, sleeping 10 to 12 people (and more) in 4/7 bedrooms. A magical property with the most amazing views over open countryside to the sea, it is on the edge of the little village of San Marco and also near fascinating old towns with good restaurants and only 20 minutes from the sea. Providing a perfect solution for two families or a larger family or group, this seven coned trullo has as its main living room a large converted coach-house with a high barrel ceiling. It is spacious and well equipped with mod cons but also full of character with all the original features preserved. Best of all, this lovely villa, while surrounded by fields and olive groves with unspoilt views across countryside to the Adriatic, is only 5 minutes' walk from a small village shop where you can buy everything you need including delicious local produce and fresh bread from a wood oven. Next door to the shop, opposite a medieval chapel, is an authentic little bar/cafe with snacks and ice creams at ridiculously cheap prices. Just by the chapel is a wine and olive oil outlet, with fabulous tastings/lunches that you can walk home from! Trullo San Marco is near the small town of Locorotondo (officially listed as 'one of the most beautiful in Italy' and Alex 'Secret Italy' Polizzi's favourite place in Puglia) and within short driving distance of many of Puglia's prettiest little hill towns like Cisternino, Ostuni, Martina Franca and the Trullo town of Alberobello.
