Trulli Fioritura Region: Puglia Sleeps: 15 Trulli Fioritura Region: Puglia Sleeps: 15 Overview Trulli Fioritura is an amazing and unique Trullo where you can discover the traditions and natural beauty that make Puglia such a special place to have a holiday! The property itself was born out of the owner's passion for making people feel welcome and a deep love of the land. At Trulli Fioritura, you'll have the opportunity to stay in a Trulli, the distinctive conical buildings that are typical to Puglia and distinctive on its terrain. The beautiful rolling countryside of Alberobello and Castellana Grotte is host to small groups of Trulli and stone buildings. In the past, these acres of Mediterranean scrub were home to peasant families whose lives and work were deeply marked by the rhythm of seasons. In a landscape dominated by fields of olive and cherry trees, Trulli acted as people's homes, as well as small stone buildings serving as stalls or tool sheds. The Venetian couple who own the property have worked with tireless energy and devotion to the restoration of this ensemble of Trulli. Their passion and enthusiasm is visible in every corner of these luxury holiday homes, from the furniture and décor to the wide and well-maintained exterior spaces. Trulli Fioritura was completed in 2010 and gathers four elegantly furbished Trulli houses, equipped with every comfort that can host up to 17 people. Deep in the lush Apulian countryside, Trulli Fioritura also offers guests a huge swimming pool and a solarium area with sun beds and parasols to relax in both the sun and the shade. Your holiday deserves to be something special, which is why at Trulli Fioritura nothing has been left to chance! Special attention is paid to every single detail in order to offer guests an unforgettable stay. Trulli Fioritura is a magnificent complex of Trulli complete with swimming pool, consisting of four holiday houses decorated with period furniture, local craft products, curtains, bedspreads, pillows and tablecloths embroidered by the expert hands of Apulian embroiderers.

Evocative in the village is the osmosis between interior and exterior spaces, between houses, alleys and courtyards, It is the result of architectural solutions dictated by practical reasons, the so-called "spontaneous architecture", since in its construction there was not followed a predetermined plan of architects but it was human needs that regulated and determined the town: between the whitewashed houses and the narrow alleys, between the blind courtyards and the external staircases, between the arches and flowered balconies: spaces where you can meet with the villagers , where aggregation is created; shared spaces, both public and private.
