Puglian trulli household
Daily life unfolds at an unhurried pastoral pace, from peaceful morning strolls across sunlit courtyards to evening drinks beside the pool.
What it’s good at

Restored eighteenth-century dry-stone trulli and an early-twentieth-century Liberty villa preserve traditional Puglian agricultural history.
Remarkable
Sleep inside conical stone trulli, surrounded by Valle d'Itria olive groves and family-run vegetable gardens.
Notable
Intimate stone suites offer attentive estate hosting, radiant underfloor heating, and secluded garden terraces.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The conical structures known as trulli are among the most distinctive of Puglia’s traditional building forms, and it’s perhaps unsurprising that Leonardo Trulli Resort leans all the way in to the charm...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Country lanes wind through surrounding vineyards and olive farms toward the circular whitewashed hilltop historic center of Locorotondo.
The rooms
Whitewashed trulli feature exposed stone and underfloor heating, while the Cantina Suite adds a private heated underground plunge pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool is treated with magnesium and Epsom salts, ringed by stone sun decks and hydromassage loungers.
The spa
Shaded garden pavilions host essential oil massages, and wellness suites include a Turkish bath, sauna, and whirlpool.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Meals at ArteCibo come from the estate's organic vegetable gardens, served under vine pergolas or beside the olive trees.
How it began
Owner Rosalba Cardone revived the family farming estate originally cultivated nearly a century ago by her ancestor Leonardo.
