By car, a private road leads to the back of the house, hidden even from the sleepy collection of houses that make up the hamlet of Tommasone. An ancient olive tree greets you as you arrive, as if pointing out the entrance to the trullo.
The outside of the house is in bare stone, whitewashed as tradition dictates, following years of patient refurbishment carried out by the owner, and this bare stone theme continues inside the house for the inner walls, creating an elegant but rustic feel to the trullo.
Inside, the trullo is surprisingly bright, an effect achieved by the skylights in the cones, which bring light in right up until dusk, and especially by a large window overlooking the valley, a sort of massive picture frame enclosing the landscape outside. The house comfortably holds four people, whether in summer or in winter, with a double bedroom and a large living room, which combines a dining area and a sleeping area, with sofa bed space for two further guests.
Going through a characteristic stone arch, what was once the fireplace has now been converted into a spacious kitchen with a large countertop and a double sink, a cooker with five burners and electric oven, a fridge and a washing machine. The ample bathroom is well-equipped, including a spacious shower cabinet.
The furniture in the trullo is hand-crafted in wood, with everything you will need to enjoy your stay: bath and bed linen, cutlery crockery and cooking utensils, television and stereo. Outside is an eating area with a table in the shade, where you can relax in the peaceful atmosphere and fresh air of the beautiful surroundings.
