Nestled in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, in the territory of Francavilla Fontana, Trulli Fontana is a gorgeous vacation rental in Apulia set on 1.5 hectares of lush land, hugged by centuries-old olive and fruit trees, and surrounded by countryside scenery. Offering an immersive escape in this lovely landscape and an opportunity to stay in a beautifully preserved historic property with all of the mod-cons and amenities that you could ask for, it is the perfect place for your summer 2026 getaway in Italy. With much of the summer still available at this gem (bar around half of August), it is the perfect time to secure the dates that you prefer while you still can and before someone else beats you to it!
Made up of two carefully restored traditional trulli buildings that immediately evoke centuries of local history and a separate modern dependance, the property accommodates 6 guests (or a maximum of 8) across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it an ideal option for families or groups seeking both communal areas and privacy.
Offering a truly authentic Apulian experience, the property boasts a private swimming pool and lots of wonderful areas to relax and dine al fresco while admiring the surrounding scenery and drinking in the peace and quiet. The pool, measuring 8x4m with a depth of 1.5m, is surrounded by sun beds and has an outdoor shower for your convenience.
Directly overlooking the water and those peaceful countryside views is a pergola to the side of one of the trulli where you can dine in the shade while watching others play in the water. A traditional stone grill is available for the use of guests who want to barbecue and an outdoor sink next to it makes preparing meals outdoors easier. If you want to cook indoors, meanwhile, you can still readily bring your meals out to the pergola as a kitchen and living area opens directly onto the garden via large glass doors.
If you can pull yourself from long, lazy days of hanging out by the pool, admiring the views over the ancient olive trees and the sound of the wind through the various fruit trees, sipping local wines while the sun sets, or preparing and enjoying incredible meals in the gardens, then you'll find that there is also much to explore close at hand throughout the surrounding area. The picturesque hilltop towns of Locorotondo, Cisternino, and Martina Franca, each offering an authentic taste of traditional Apulian life, are all nearby. Explore them and take in the numerous other beautiful trulli throughout this part of Apulia, enjoy delicious meals in local restaurants, and discover artisan shops. Head to the stunning Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, about 15km away, and dive into the crystal-clear seas and hang out on the sandy beaches that are just waiting to be explored! The nearest town of Francavilla Fontana, meanwhile, is just 4km away and gives you easy access to restaurants, bars, banks, and supermarkets. The famous, gleaming White City of Ostuni is also around 15km away and the UNESCO-listed town of Alberobello is around 40km from the property.
Back at home, you'll return to a wonderfully luxurious but delightfully traditional home spread across three buildings. In the first trullo there is a double bedroom with an elegant en suite bathroom featuring a marble tub designed for 2 people. The fully-equipped kitchen located in this building is the one that opens directly onto the patio overlooking the pool, seamlessly connecting interior comfort with the surrounding landscape.
The second trullo features another double bedroom set within an alcove in a traditional local style and an en suite bathroom with a shower. In the third space, the dependance, there is a living room with a double sofa bed and another fully equipped kitchen. Off this central room there is a final double bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a shower.
Air-conditioning and WIFI are both available all throughout the property and buildings and there is also heating available for those visiting during seasons where it may be cooler, especially in the evening. The living room in the dependance also has a fireplace, which can make chillier evenings together cosier and more atmospheric. Both kitchens have dishwashers for your convenience and each is also fitted out with a Nespresso machine. A washing machine is also available for the use of guests and is especially convenient for longer stays. Private parking is located on site and the rental price includes electricity and air conditioning, internet Wi-Fi, final cleaning, and a baby cot.
Available from €584 per night, Trulli Fontana is an evocative and lovely villa in Apulia with both traditional style and modern comforts. Well-located for exploring this magical part of the world and equipped with excellent amenities, it is a perfect place to get away from it all. With all but one day of June 2026 still available, all of July, and half of August, it is a great time to book while you still have incredible availability – but don't wait too long!
