Enchanting trulli mansion with natural pool
Cisternino - Villa
Availability and prices
Accommodation
Description
Bring your whole family, your friends or, why not, just your partner, immerse yourself in a completely different world and leave everyday life behind you. This picturesque property, not far from the beautiful town of Cisternino, in the middle of nature, offers something for everyone. A unique, approx. 13x9 meter large salt water natural pool including a shallow area with whirlpool function, surrounded by gentle hills covered with flowers and Mediterranean herbs; a large garden with fruit trees; plenty of space in the sun and shade, to relax or play. Everything for your private, exclusive use with full privacy.
The comfortable rooms, which can accommodate up to 12 people, extend over several carefully renovated trulli. The main building with its five trulli cones was originally built in 1780; today there are the two living rooms and the spacious kitchen (which includes oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, large fridge with freezer, cutlery and kitchenware) with dining area. In one of the living rooms, the two sofas can also be used as two single beds.
Also in the main part there is an alcove in a separate room with its own shower room, i.e. a double bed embedded in a wall niche including a skylight. Ideal for the romantic among you - or just to relax during the day.
Three further double rooms (one of them with separable beds) adjoin the main building. One of them can only be reached via the courtyard; the other two, on the other hand, can be connected to one another and can be reached from both inside and outside (see floor plan in the photo gallery). Each bedroom is air-conditioned and has its own bathroom with shower (one with bathtub) and mosquito nets on the windows.
The fifth bedroom (with double bed) is located in a separate, also very lovely trullo on the opposite side of the property. The bathroom is located in a small outbuilding (access from the outside); there is also an outdoor shower designed as a waterfall and a small covered outdoor kitchen, so that the guests of the small trullo do not necessarily have to use the kitchen in the main building.
The mansion is located in the country southwest of Cisternino; the pretty old town is just 4 km away. An excellent bakery is within walking distance; a car is recommended for further purchases.
Cisternino is located in the heart of the famous "Valle d'Itria", one of the most beautiful corners of Apulia and home of the Trulli. The famous towns of Locorotondo, Alberobello, Ostuni and Martina Franca can all be reached in a maximum of 20 minutes by car. The sea is also about 20 minutes away by car; the coast offers many sandy beaches with a few rock sections and many natural corners with pine forests and picturesque bays.
There are several excellent restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Bicycles can be rented nearby if necessary. The nearest airports are Brindisi (approx. 55 km) and Bari (approx. 85 km); rental cars are usually available at both airports on favorable terms, or you can take a group taxi ("navetta") to your accommodation. We are always at your disposal in English for activities and general tips.
🛏️ 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 €140, unless you clean yourselves before departure.
🐶 Pets are NOT allowed in this property.
💰 We will ask you to pay a security deposit of €1000 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 kWh charged to guests was €0,42 on 24/10/2023, when this text was last updated, but as prices are fluctuating a lot, your actual price per kWh 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 despite inflation and b) incentivate our guests to use electricity responsibly, helping us to reach our sustainability goals. Thank you for your understanding.

This is a lovely trulli and we particularly enjoyed the pool. The owner, who was in the neighbouring property at the time, is very friendly and keen to explain the extensive recycling processes! Because the place is managed by WOW you need to factor see more
This is a lovely trulli and we particularly enjoyed the pool. The owner, who was in the neighbouring property at the time, is very friendly and keen to explain the extensive recycling processes! Because the place is managed by WOW you need to factor cleaning and bed linen charges and also a deposit. Overall though it was still value for money.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Casa Allegra. Everything about the place was delightful - the bedrooms , the amazing natural pool and the lovely peaceful grounds - space for us all to be togetherby ourselves for quiet times. The children especially adored the pool and we all just had the best time. Gianmario came across when there were occasional little problems and was a friendly and helpful host. I would go back again in a heartbeat !! Loved it !! Thank you for a truly marvellous holiday experience..

This charming trullo villa met our expectations and was just as described. Bedrooms are spacious and air conditioning is working perfectly (much needed in the summer heat). Our kids loved the pool. Beautiful surrounding gardens. Overall the area is very calm and quiet. We met Mario (the landlord taking care of the house) during check in and he explained everything to us. He speaks good English that was helpful.

This is a true Wow-Home! A paradise in Europe! You get a spacious Trullo- actually two Trullos- with an adorable natural Pool in the middle, surounded by trees and nature. The Trullo is authentically restaurated and has everything you need for life.
You can breathe nature, relax at the pool, be yourself as there is only nature around you. For breakfast you walk 20 minutes between the Trullos to the well known Caffe Almond. Or you drive to Caffe Tripoli in Martina France for a real Italian experience. Many beaches are in 20 minutes drive - dont miss Torre Guaceto. Each beach is different and has its own charm. Never miss dinner in a nice restaurant in one of this beautiful villages near by, there are so many nice ones around, and from about 19:00 all Italians go out for a drink and dinner. Dont miss the Zio Petro in Cisternino or the famous Cibus in Ceglie Messapica. But off course having a BBQ at the Trullo with meat from a local Marcelleria is a must as well. Sofia and her parents from next door not only know everything about the are, they are wonderful people. Paula even taught us how the make real Italian Pasta! We spend two weeks in the Trullo Alegro and you will feel that you really miss it once back home- its just gives you peace of mind! |

Mettre plus lumière dans la cuisine.
En fait, il n'y a que 4 chambres (en comptant le trullo au fond du jardin), les autres sont en enfilade et manquent donc d'intimité).

une demeure très charmante, un jardin magnifique. Dommage que nous n'ayons pas pu profiter plus de la très belle piscine (nos enfants par contre oui malgré la fraicheur). L'endroit est à quelques minutes en voiture de la très jolie cité de Cisternino. Bref, un séjour en famille réussi. Les Pouilles regorgent de villages et villes aux ambiances différentes et on ne s'ennuie jamais. La seule frustration est de n'avoir pu rester plus longtemps. Familles Remion et Noizet

Notre séjour au Trullo Casa Allegre a été très très agréable. Propre, bien conçu, confortable. Il est parfait pour 9 avec ses 4 chambres indépendantes avec salles de d'eau et son alcove très privé avec ses rideaux et sa salle d'eau également. Place pour un 10ème éventuel. La cuisine est suffisamment spacieuse. Grande originalité avec son accumulation de Trulli et ses extérieurs. 3 beaux villages accessibles à 15 mn, Lecce et Matera à 1h30 de voiture. Nous sommes partis à regret.
