The neighbourhood and surroundings (See on Google Maps)
Puglia, located in the heel of the Italian boot, is one of the most beautiful regions in Italy. Surrounded by a beautiful and warm sea, it offers stunning landscapes. At the heart of this region lies the charming village of Ceglie Messapica, an ancient Mesopotamian city.
Ceglie is a delightful small town in the Brindisi province, which comes alive in the summer with music concerts, art exhibitions and numerous flea markets. Historically, Ceglie is considered to be the capital of Pugliese cuisine, with its high quality restaurants and the richness of its local products.
The TERRAROSSA TRULLO is located between the historical centers of Ceglie and Ostuni, nicknamed “the white city.”
Due to its position, Ceglie is an ideal departure point for discovering the Itria Valley, rich in “trulli,” and Salento: in fact, the city is 31km from Taranto, 35 km from Brindisi and 70km from Lecca.
The apartment
A trullo (the name comes from the Greek word τρο?λος meaning dome) is a traditional conical structure in Apulian dry stone. It consists of a central part (the dome) and alcoves (alcova: open space to house a bed) on the side where the beds were located.
The "Cozzaro" (peasant) used the trullo to sleep in and also store his farm machinery. The trullo is surrounded by tratturi (country roads) enveloped by olive and almond trees, where you can enjoy a morning jog or take bike rides.
TERRAROSSA TRULLO is a big 53.50m² country trullo, in the heart of a beautiful 13,000m² park composed of 80 olive trees, 40 almond trees, prickly pear trees and many other fruit trees.
Through a glass door, you arrive in the 9.50m² entryway, leading into the central conical portion of the trullo with its beautiful stone fireplace.
The first bedroom is located in an "alcova" (3.70m², not enclosed) across from the fireplace that has a small window overlooking the front terrace, and includes a double bed.
A small bathroom (3.40m², with 1 window) is around the corner to the right of the entryway, and is fitted with a shower, sink, bidet and WC.
At the back of this room on the left is a small hallway (6m² with 1 big, long window overlooking the rear patio) with lots of storage space, leading to the kitchen on one side and the living room on the other.

The 2nd bedroom (9m², 1 window) has a double bed, a chair and a small cupboard.
A second small bathroom (2.40m²) is equipped with a shower, sink and toilet (with small shower).
