The trullo is also close to the charming hill-top town Locorotondo with plenty of bars and restaurants. The drive to the beaches on the Adriatic coast is 20 minutes with the nearby Savelletri, a small pleasant, upbeat fishing village, and Capitolo, famous for its many beach clubs and seaside restaurants. WHAT MORE TO SEE The property has the advantage of being centrally located between areas of interest such as the mile-long amazing caves of Castellana; the archaeological excavations of the Roman Egnazia by the Adriatic coastline; the beautiful white town of Ostuni, located on top of a hill with fantastic sea views; the medieval town of Oria; the wealthy baroque town of Martina Franca; the petite and charming Cisternino, the Zoo Safari Park of Fasano (lots of fun for children and adults alike); the caves of Polignano a Mare, well known also for its tasty ice-cream; Grottaglie is famous for its ceramics and old stone carvings; the famous baroque city of Lecce which is called the Florence of the south. By air, there is a choice of two international airports, served by Ryanair, Easyjet, BA and others, both easily reached within the hour; Bari in the north and Brindisi in the south. Both cities have ferry traffic to Greece, Albania and Croatia, so it’s possible to make weekend trips across the Adriatic Sea.
Bari, the Commercial capital city with 250 000 inhabitants, offers the best shopping, a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli teatro, and a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called Giovinazzo, a true gem right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria and 20 minutes further is Traini, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon bay & marina. Continue north to Castel del Monte, the mystical castle Frederic II built in the 13th Century.
Within a 2.5-hour drive to the north lies Gargano, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a significant nature and wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here, there are daily boat trips to the small Tremiti islands. LIFESTYLE AND CULTURE
The Italian lifestyle means many things, especially socializing; the home is used for sleeping and breakfast, and the Italians go out for enjoyment and dining. Based between Locorotondo and Alberobello, there is so much you can experience, like early morning markets in the small towns, music festivals, religious carnivals, the beach life, historical tours in the main towns, cooking classes, learning a bit of Italian in language schools, dining at the many country and sea side restaurants, night clubs at the beach clubs of Capitolo.
