Business wifi: Trullo with sea access (house F)
Castro - Trullo
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
This cozy little stone house on two levels, with work from home facilities, is located in an exclusive and unique estate consisting of several villas and trulli, separated by pine trees. It is known as "La Palombara" and was popular with VIPs in the seventies and eighties. At the end of 2019 we rediscovered this heavenly place and we chose to upgrade and redesign parts. It is now available for guests that are looking for a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In the photo gallery you will find a map of the entire grounds.
A path leads from the property directly to the sea. On your way down, you will pass some picnic areas with breathtaking views. Once on the rocky beach, you will find four access points for swimming, diving, snorkeling or fishing in the crystal clear water of the Lower Adriatic Sea. It might be possible to see passing dolphins especially from the picnic areas. (Caution: the path and access to the sea from the rocks is not suitable for small children or people with disabilities).
The trullo, made of beautiful stone walls, has one double room with en-suite bathroom (with shower) and a living space with kitchen (including a dishwasher) and a fireplace. There is a 1.80x1.40m sofa bed in the living room; it’s too small for an adult but ideal for up to two children.
Downstairs, there is an extra room with a desk in front of the fantastic sea view - ideal to work remotely thanks to a business quality, free and unlimited wifi provided. There is also an extra single sofa bed and a small bathroom (see floor plan in the photo gallery).
The interior is simple but functional; there is no TV nor air conditioning, but the thick walls and pine trees mitigate the heat of the summer sun. We provide electric radiators when it gets cold - the house can be used in all seasons.
A private, partly shaded terrace offers views of the garden and the sea. A barbecue and an outdoor shower complete the picture.
The well-known fortified village of Castro, with its bars, cafes, restaurants and a supermarket, can be reached on foot in just ten minutes. The walk is along a charming path under the ancient Messapian walls. For those who prefer sandy beaches to rocks, the enchanting sandy beach of Porto Miggiano is 5 km away; very charming are also the coves of Porto Badisco and the long sandy beaches of Alimini, north of Otranto.
🛏️ Sheets, duvets and towels are not included. If you don't want to bring them with you from home, regardless of the length of your stay, you can rent them for €20 per person. Beach/pool towels are not provided.
🧽 Final cleaning is not included and costs €80, unless you clean yourselves before departure.
🐶 Dogs and pets are allowed (max 2 dogs or pets, surcharge €60 per dog/pet). You will need to inform us in advance.
💰 We will ask you to pay a security deposit of €400 before arrival. The security deposit will be refunded within 7 days after departure, if there is no damage.
⚡ Electricity costs (and thus where applicable AC, hot water, heating etc.) are NOT included in the price and will be charged based on your actual consumption. The price per kW charged to guests was €0,31 on 15/06/2023, when this text was last updated, but as prices are fluctuating a lot and might hopefully decrease, your actual price per kW will be communicated a few days before your arrival based on the current market price.
We decided not to include electricity costs in the rent in order to: a) keep our rental prices stable compared to 2022, which is an ambitious goal given the 10%+ inflation and b) incentivate our guests to use electricity responsibly, helping us to reach our sustainability goals. Thank you for your understanding.

We stayed a month at Olivier's place and had the most magical time, despite some very poor weather at the beginning. The simplicity of the house and its location at the top of a spectacularly beautiful cliff with pine trees, rocks and private jetty is simply impossible to beat. Castro was a delight, and the coast between Castro and Otranto has become our personal heaven on earth. We would definitely consider a return visit.

Es ist ein Traum. Diese Lage, dieses Häuschen, die parkähnliche Anlage, und dann hat auch noch das Wetter mitgespielt! Ich hatte einige Pläne um Dinge in Apulien zu unternehmen, aber nach dem morgendliche Kaffee auf der Terrasse fand ich kaum Motivation diese Idylle zu verlassen. Ich werde die zwei Wochen in Castro mein Leben lang nicht vergessen. Danke an alle, Grazie et Merci!
