About this property

Beautifully Restored Trulli with Large 15m Private Pool and Extensive Garden

CONTACT THE OWNER FOR SPECIAL DEALS ON THE LAST AVAILABILITY IN 2025
Romantic Trulli Mimosa is decorated in traditional Puglian style preserving the heritage of traditional Trulli houses. Covered in Jasmine and Roses with a 15m (40 foot) long swimming pool and surrounded by sun loungers, umbrellas and Travertine stone patios. The shallow ‘conversation area’ in the pool is perfect for children and lounging on hot sunny days. Outside shower in the area near the pool. The master bedroom has a large metal bed covered with a patchwork quilt and scattered cushions, bedside tables, lamps, wooden double wardrobe, the large double doors open onto the patio and pergola shaded outdoor sitting room. The second bedroom has twin beds, which can be pushed together to make a double. There is a single sofa bed in the alcove off the main kitchen diner, traditionally where the grandparents slept. Baby cots and high chairs are available free of charge, ask us about other baby requirements. Most guests prefer to bring their own cot sheets. All you can eat WiFi available throughout house and at all pool areas. In the spring of 2018 Trulli Mimosa started to Farm on Permaculture principles. For many years we have not used the chemicals or weed killers which many farmers use in Italy. We are now networking with local enthusiasts for Permaculture Methods and doing our best to support the local flora and fauna protecting the ecology with a waterwise method of growing. Next year we will actively plant to support the bee population.
All produce from the surrounding fruit trees are available for the guests to pick. Depending on the time of year we have Cherries, Plums, Mulberrys, Figs, Medlars, Pears,Quince, Lemons, Clementines and Herbs such as Basil and Mint.

Trulli amazing

We had a wonderful stay in this stunning trullo surrounded by a beautiful garden complete with the huge pool, we could not ask for anything better than this : away from it all but still at a driving distance from all the beautiful and quaint towns and sites around. We would go back without hesitation. Highly recommended if you are looking to experience the trullo life. The property manager was very nice and helpful.

Wisteria and sunshine

Your garden reminded us of the movie Enchanted April, the garden is so beautiful , we wandered along the little paths and tried to identify all the flowers and fruit trees. We sat on the Veranda looking towards the pool and watched the dragonflies and swifts dip down to drink the water. We hadn't realised how much birdsong and nature there would be. We had such a relaxing time, we slept like baby's and loved it all. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home.

Sehr schönes Haus mit tollem Garten/ Probleme gab es jedoch

Der Trulli ist sehr schön und der Garten ist einfach wundervoll. Man kann sich bei den Früchten bedienen. Die Umgebung ist auch perfekt für tolle Ausflüge. Leider gab es mehrmals Probleme warmes Wasser zu bekommen. Manchmal gab es sogar gar kein Wasser. Wir hatten Glück dass Liz (Vermieterin) in der Zeit auch in der Nähe war Sie hat sich sofort ganz toll darum gekümmert. Jedoch erwartet man für diesen Preis schon ein etwas anderen Standard. Das Haus war von der Sauberkeit in Ordnung. Die Haushälterin war leider sehr unverschämt. Sie verlangte extra Gebühren da wir kurz nach 19 Uhr eincheckten. Dies stand nicht in der Beschreibung und auch ansonsten wären wir aufgeschmissen gewesen, wenn Liz (Vermieterin) nicht auch zur selben Zeit dort Urlaub gemacht hätte. Die Haushälterin hätte uns gar nicht so weiter helfen können. Ohne Liz wären wir aufgeschmissen gewesen. Liz hat uns die extra Gebühr für den Check in dann wieder erstattet. Der Pool ist eigentlich traumhaft. Leider waren wir nicht einmal drin. Er war viel zu kalt. Nur beim Füße rein hängen waren sie schon nach kurzer Zeit knall rot. Es kommt regelmäßig jemand zum Pool säubern und Wasser wechseln. Eigentlich alles gut bis auf die Temperatur und wir sind wirklich nicht empfindlich. Wir danken Liz dennoch dafür dass sie versucht hat die Unannehmlichkeiten zu beseitigen.

We absolutely loved it. The Trullo is beautiful and very well equipped. The garden and pool area was just what we were looking for. Antonella is very hospitable and helped us a lot during our stay. We visited with our 6 months old baby and all we needed for her was taken care of. Just the perfect vacation we needed. Would definitely recommend to others! Hope to see you again soon Antonella!

Magnificent Trulli experience

Nice, characteristic Trulli. Antonella who welcomed us is a very enthousiastic, excellent speaking Italian lady with great knowledge of the area because she lives in the neighborhood. Romantic atmosphere in a traditional Trulli. Well equipped. Big garden and lots of chairs and beds around the pool. There are 4 stray cats who will visit you when they are hungry.

Beautiful week in beautiful surroundings

We had a fabulous time at Trulli Mimosa! The trulli house is so beautifully restored and has so much character. The kids absolutely loved the huge pool and seemed to spend every minute in it. We enjoyed the property grounds so much, the outside area is stunning and practical at the same time. The managers of the property Hilary and John are so helpful and friendly, we had terrible delay with RyanAir but they waited for us until we showed up (past 1am) to check us in. Wifi wasn't working well but who needs it when you're in such a fab place :) We are already dreaming of going back!

We have fallen in love with Puglia !!!!!! We had a lovely warm welcome from the wonderfull caretakers. The Trulli was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The owner has great taste. We followed many of the suggestions in the welcome book, going to quite a few of the restaurants suggested. We got a warm reception from them also, Trulli Mimosa guests are made feel very welcome there too. We realy loved all the local customs and activities surrounding Easter, sometimes we thought we must be back 100 years watching the age old processions. We tried the Cheff one night and loved the Pasta making lesson We wiil be back Thank you

Wow!

What an amazing Trulli ! Wow is what we said as soon as we saw our little slice of Heaven. It was everything and more than we hoped for.We have fallen in love with Puglia. Liz the Welcome Book was amazing it was our Bible. Thankyou so much for sharing your home with us we hope to come back. Ostuni, Alberobello and Matera are a must visit. Our favourite beaches were on the Ionian coast a hours drive but well worth it. The food is to die for especially the Foccacia and meat from St Michele. A special mention to Jackie who was so kind and helpful. What can we say ? Shhhh don't tell everyone we don't really want to share our amazing find. Perfect from start to finish Kind Regards The Whittles

Beautiful Trulli for a Beautiful Holiday

It was really an amazing and unique experience to stay in a trulli. This one was particularly lovely and so nicely furnished and decorated and outfitted with everything you need for your stay. The master bedroom was just lovely with its crisp white linens, comfy bed and doors leading to the outside terrace. The grounds around the trulli are expansive with olive and fruit trees and the pool is fantastic and so pleasant to be in after a day of sightseeing in the heat! Plenty of room for dining outside or relaxing by the pool . It is really quiet as well in this area-very peaceful! The caretaker, Jacki, is also extremely kind, thoughtful, and accommodating and checked on us before our arrival and throughout our stay, which is so nice to have so you feel you can contact someone if you have a problem or question. The trulli is situated between 2 towns, so shops and restaurants are easily accessible. All the recommendations in the Welcome Book for sightseeing and restaurants and shopping were spot on and very helpful. Needless to say, we ate very well! We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Pugilla

I had a wonderful time at Trulli Mimosa, it was like an oasis in a busy world. The pool was fantastic it was so good to be able to swim every day and the local food was delicious. It was great just to hang around and not feel I had to do something and likewise Trulli Mimosa was a hub for any of the beautiful towns and beach we wanted to visit during our stay. We didn't have children with us but it would be a lovely place for a family holiday. I would definitely go back.

So cute and authentic with all mod cons

If you want to experience true Italian life then Trulli Mimosa is out of this world. We loved every moment from start to finish. The house has two bedrooms, one quite small but so charming! The round bathroom is so cute and we loved the outside space with all the different places to sit and dine. The pool is enormous and really great for children.. everything has been thought through in terms of comfort and there are lots of shady places to sit and enjoy the considerable sunshine.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Clery

Host profile image
We are an Irish family who have design and travel businesses and who own 3 Trulli houses in the wonderful region of Puglia. We love to visit this area which is still unspoiled and rural in its simplicity. The quality of the food, restaurants, bars etc is outstanding. We love to visit en-masse, or simply pop down for a quick break. We have taken considerable care when renovating and restoring each house to capture the spirit of the ancient Trulli houses, and decorated each to a high standard. As Trulli Mimosa was lived in until we bought it we were able to retain many of the original features, and restore it to how it would have been when the grandparents lived there, traditional in style. The house is very private, with its own gardens and pool. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do

Why they chose this property

Our family of two sisters and a brother, husbands and wife and children, fell in love with this area of Italy as it reminds us of summer holidays in the West of Ireland when we were young. It still retains its rural simplicity yet provides high standards of restaurants, shops and bars. The beaches are nearby and are very Italian in nature. We particularly love the people of this area. They cannot do enough for us and are really pleasant and welcoming. Wave and say Ciao to everybody you meet on the road. Ostuni St Michele and Ceglie Messapica are really old towns which have maintained their heritage and history very well. We also love to visit Martina Franca and Cisternino for their restaurants and outdoor markets. It's easy to get to the area via Bari, Brindisi or even Naples airports, or by ferry.

What makes this property unique

We particularly love the outdoor living at the Trulli. We spent most of our time on the land or around the pool. Our 3 Trulli are on a quiet road and are only minutes from each other. Trulli Stella and Trulli Mimosa share a drive, but are still very secluded and private from each other. The properties are fully equipped with almost everything you could possible need for cooking and enjoying the gardens and pool. The cooking lessons and private dining provided by our caretaker and her Mother are extremely special! They will teach you how to make the pasta a great treat at a very reasonable cost...
