Trullo Elaia: in perfect harmony with nature, a soul refuge, an exclusive holiday in a place of refined essentiality
Close your eyes and imagine Puglia, the most authentic one.
Imagine a commonly silent place, where time flows slower, where your soul finds peace and serenity and where you can abandon yourself to the stillness of an uncontaminated nature.
Imagine a trullo of ancient stone, that has been restored with love and refined taste for details but without having altered the original essence: white stones, curved lines that draw arches and niches, a soft lighting that echoes a past, warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Imagine a place where our centenary olive trees, oaks, figs, rosemary plants; the grey stone cones that stand out in the blue sky, the whispering wind, the fertile red earth of this region, the dazzling sun and the refreshing water of a beautiful swimming pool are all perfectly integrated into the environmental context.
Imagine yourself in a magical place, feeling the touch of a timeless atmosphere.
We'll welcome and amaze you offering you a unique place, a perfect synthesis between centenary tradition and the current inclinations of interior design.
Welcome to Itria Valley. Welcome to Trullo Elaia.
Trullo Elaia and Puglia: a destination in the destination, in a perfect combination of intimacy, comfort and discovery with slow rhythms
If you are looking for a stay out of the ordinary that will turn into a full of emotions unforgettable experience.
If you love silence and the elegance of simplicity and you dream a romantic retreat with every comfort to restore the deep connection with yourself and with nature.
If you add to this the beauty of Puglia and the opportunity to discover its ancient villages, getting lost in the mazes of paved streets, walking among the whitewashed houses, the hidden courtyards and baroque palaces enriched by noble friezes; if you imagine walking on long pristine beaches of white sand lapping a crystal clear sea or lying in the sun in the rocky coves that create natural pools with stunning colors.
Stop. You’re here.
We are just a few kilometers from Ceglie Messapica, in the heart of the Itria Valley, also known as the Valley of the trulli, in an area bathed by two seas, 368 meters above sea level. Here, among the scents of the Apulian countryside, you'll find a suggestive stone house with typical conical roofs and a wonderful salt electrolysis pool that's waiting you.
An exclusive property of almost two hectares, situated on a gently undulating land, that are always touched by summer breezes and “decorated” with centenary olive trees, oaks and rosemary bushes.
An absolutely peaceful, private and comfortable oasis, where you can appreciate the feeling of freedom without borders and discover the pleasures of a simple life, in a continuous change of colours and atmospheres.
Elaia (ἐλαία) - "olive" in ancient Greek - the name of this the eighteenth century evocative complex of trulli and lamia which, after a long and wise work done by the most experienced trullari masters, has returned to its original beauty.
One of a kind for it's context and elegance, it has been tastefully restored respecting it's ancient essence to make your Puglia experience the most authentic, without sacrificing comfort.
The structure (not visible from the principal road) can be reached along a private sheep track between dry stone walls surrounded by calm and a wonderful sense of peace up to the immense century olive grove that surrounds the house and offers a silence interrupted only by the chirping of birds and the song of cicadas.
Trullo Elaia is the perfect place for a secluded and intimate stay, where the quiet and nature invites you to take it easy.
Here you can find that “so natural” peace feeling, and yet so difficult to find in everyday life...

In the morning, you'll wake up by the chirping of birds and you can start your day enjoying your breakfast in the shade of the pergola, among the sinuous movement of white linen curtains and letting yourself being caressed by the warm summer breeze.
You can linger in the refreshing waters of the chlorine free pool (more pleasant for the skin and free of smell), relax on our comfortable beds under the sun or lose yourself reading lulled by the rocking of the hammock; and again discover the pleasure of having fun outdoor, playing bowls under the branches of a centenary oak, walking in the park accompanied by the singing of cicadas and picking figs from the trees.
Have you ever tasted them, together with the burrata produced in one of the nearby farms? They are really delicious, perfect for an aperitif at sunset!
To relax your body and mind even more, we can book for you a special Ayurveda massage that will be carried out by expert hands comfortably at the residence, perhaps under the shade of a centenary olive tree.
Enjoy your dinner overlooking the lighted pool and chat in the lounge area of the patio breathing the scent of rosemary that has been warmed by the sun during the day, under a sky full of stars and with the light of the moon that draws silver profiles on the grey stone cones and on the tops of the olive trees.
Fall asleep in our relaxing rooms between linen and cotton sheets and soft pillows, try what it means to sleep in total silence and tranquillity.
