About this property

MAEL'S ALCOVA - Enchanting trullo near Ostuni - upper Salento

Nestled in a beautiful olive grove, in the heart of Puglia and a few km from Ostuni and beautiful beaches, "L'Alcova di Mael" is a trullo recently restored with passion and in respect of its ancient but modern minimalist soul. Each room is restored to its former glory, with light colored furnishings that create an intimate and comfortable atmosphere.

It develops under 4 cones that serve as a roof to as many "alcoves".
The living area has a sofa bed, a dining table, an open kitchen with a dishwasher, a fridge, an oven and dishes. An evocative stone corridor separates the living area from the sleeping area, where there are three alcoves with a built-in wardrobe, a double bed and two single beds.
In respect of the typicality of the trulli, the rooms are not separated by doors, except for the bathroom closed by an ancient wooden door.

Outside there is a large square, sun beds for the solarium, shower, relaxation area with stone sofas set in the ancient courtyard, a large gazebo equipped with table, barbecue and kitchen.

A fresh lawn and a small organic garden are available to guests.

The entrance gate is automatic and the entire structure is fenced and equipped with an alarm system.

You won't find better!!

Having stayed in Puglia many times, and in many different Trulli, I can tell you now.... you WON'T find better than this! Not only is the Trulli blessed with a great location, the land around it also affords you great privacy. An outside kitchen and eating area adds another room to the trullo experience and allows you to enjoy the food delights this area has to offer. The Trullo is very well designed and has all the modern conveniences you could wish for, while still keeping the charm that the old building is famous for. The owners were very helpful all through the booking process and when we arrived (we managed to get lost en route and they helped guide us to the location). The owners were also very kind in leaving a small basket of local items for us to enjoy and we were glad there was also plenty of coffee for us to enjoy! thank you! This Trullo would be great for couples or small families and the area offers the same. You will need a car, but that's the case for all of Puglia, and you will have lots of fun discovering this amazing part of Italy and then heading back to the quiet and joy of this lovely Trullo. We would go back - 100%!!

We are very happy to have contributed to create a typical pugliese atmosphere during your stay and it is a great satisfaction for us if you have taken with you a piece of our Puglia. Thank you again for having come. Pietro and Francesco.

Bellissima esperienza al Trullo Alcova di Mael Professionalità e gentilezza assoluta.

Ceck-in perfetto e preciso. Padroni di casa professionali. Posto incantevole. Casa pulita e funzionale. Posizione del trullo favorevolissima, silenziosissima e ideale per spostamenti verso lidi sull’Adriatico o sullo Ionio. In zona posti incantevoli.
