Inside: accommodation at Ai Trulli is spread over two trulli buildings: the larger of the two is neatly divided into living and sleeping areas. Access is into the light living area, which features traditional creamy stone walls, a high conical ceiling and fireplace. To the left of the living area, through an arch, is the well-equipped kitchen, while to the right, through another arch, is the cosy dining area. Continuing further on, one comes to a small sitting area, with sofa and desk., which leads to the sleeping quarters: a double room with en-suite bathroom and the master bedroom also with en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom is accessed either via the first bedroom or from the garden.
The second, smaller trullo, has a similar layout to the first, with the living room in the centre, a small kitchen through an arch to the left and the sleeping quarters - a double bedroom and a bathroom - to the right.
In both trulli, the original features and stone structures have been kept intact as much as possible and furnishing and fittings complement these aspects with cheerful rusti-chic panache.
Outside: Ai Trulli is set amongst a series of well-tended lawns, dotted with olive trees and criss-crossed by dry-stone walls and gravel paths, one of which takes you down to the lovely pool, situated just below the houses and offering views over the gentle surrounding countryside. Closer to the house are a series of sitting areas and an al fresco dining area for those long summer dinners!

Think About
The two houses are never let separately, so you will always have exclusive use of the grounds and pool. The smaller one has only a basic kitchen and guests normally cook and dine together in the larger house.
