Cosy trulli with lamia among olive trees, with a private pool and air-conditioned interiors — a short drive from Martina Franca’s historic centre

Amid dry-stone walls and olive groves, Villa Domenico is a traditional trulli-and-lamia home for those who value quiet, nature and the comfort of simple, well-planned spaces. Set in the rural landscape of the Itria Valley, it lies a few minutes from Martina Franca’s old town and local dining (6.7 km) and from the historic centres of Ostuni, Alberobello and Locorotondo. Perfect for walks and cycling among olive groves and trulli along quiet country roads.

Architecture stays true to tradition: life flows outdoors, between sunny mornings and cool alfresco dinners. A country lane lined with dry-stone walls leads to the automated gate, opening onto a gravel drive flanked by olive trees, Mediterranean shrubs and the region’s red earth.

The mood is natural, a tranquil nature retreat with a relaxing atmosphere - cicadas in summer, birdsong in the morning. Designed for 4 guests (+2 children) seeking relaxation, nature and convivial living.

Opposite the shaded veranda — conveniently connected to the kitchen — a private pool set in the greenery becomes the heart of the day. Indoors, the layout balances convivial time and privacy for two couples or a family.

Arches and recessed niches recall classic white lamie, preserving authenticity and simplicity. All rooms have air-conditioning and heating for comfort year-round. Adriatic beaches are within an easy day trip; in the evening, trattorie and restaurants await in Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Ostuni — a quiet place to slow down and reconnect with the countryside.
