Trullo Iduna

Situated in the heart of Puglia’s Valle d’Itria, this authentic 200 year old trullo, has been lightly restored and is nestled into peaceful and unspoiled countryside. Originally constructed as temporary agricultural dwellings, trulli reside only in the specific region of the Itria Valley and the Murge area of Italy. Exclusively using original building techniques and materials, the seamless renovation allows you to understand and enjoy how the first inhabitants lived. These formerly primitive huts have not lost any of their original charm with whitewashed interiors that showcase contemporary touches and finishes creating a striking balance. Updated with a modern country kitchen and baths along with three bedrooms, Trullo Iduna sleeps up to five guests. Since the owners are in the creative business and experienced travellers, they gathered furniture, art and other selected pieces from around the world in order to recreate in the trullo the same ease and comfort that they encountered in places visited. Combining rustic and simple furnishings these homes are a comfortable and cultural experience that transport you back in time. Surrounded by an inspiring native landscape and extensive gardens, there are shady al fresco dining and lounge areas poolside and a fire pit to gather round in the evening. Off season  magic. After five years of summer hosting, Trullo Iduna is now being offered all year long for a unique Puglian experience. Trullo Iduna is a great place to get away from city life and let your mind breathe. In fall, after a nice walk along the nearby tratturi or an easy bycicle ride, you come back and can roast chestnuts by the fireplace, while sipping a glass of local negramaro  wine. While in springtime, the search of wild asparugus can be a tasty and satisfing experience: once  home, your freshly picked veggies, broiled  and  accomanied  with a drop of olive oil, makes your search a  worthwhile effort. The owners will also be pleased, upon  request, to take you around for daily visits  to some  hidden gems, such as to the gothic Basilica of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria in the old town of Galatina, one of the three existing examples of interiors entirely covered by 15th century frescoes. Charming and tranquil, this historic home is something trulli special! Around A truly unique cultural experience, the Itria Valley offers amazing food, wine and miles of beautiful Adriatic coastline. Cisternino and Martina Franca are nearby and you can enjoy biking, hiking, wine tasting and local summer food festivals and shopping. You are a short drive to the shores of the Adriatic and a little further to the Ionian Sea.
