About this villa rental
Trullo San Marco is a delightful, recently restored traditional trulli farmhouse with a private pool, sleeping 10 to 12 people in 7 bedrooms. A magical property with the most amazing views over open countryside to the sea, it is on the edge of the little village of San Marco and also near fascinating old towns with good restaurants and only 20 minutes from the sea. It is just 50 minutes drive from either Bari or Brindisi airports. Providing a perfect solution for a larger family or group, this seven coned trullo has as its main living room a large converted coach-house with a high barrel ceiling. It is spacious and well equipped with mod cons but also full of character with all the original features preserved. Best of all, this lovely villa, while surrounded by fields and olive groves with unspoilt views across countryside to the Adriatic, is only 5 minutes' walk from a small village shop where you can buy everything you need, including delicious local produce and fresh bread from a wood oven. Next door to the shop, opposite a medieval chapel, is an authentic little bar/cafe with snacks and ice creams at ridiculously cheap prices. Just by the chapel is a wine and olive oil outlet, with fabulous tastings/lunches that you can walk home from! Trullo San Marco is near the small town of Locorotondo (officially listed as 'one of the most beautiful in Italy' and Alex 'Secret Italy' Polizzi's favourite place in Puglia) and within short driving distance of many of Puglia's prettiest little hill towns like Cisternino, Ostuni, Martina Franca and the Trullo town of Alberobello. A 20 minute drive takes you to Savelletri, a charming fishing village that's a Summer celebrity magnet thanks to its 5+ star hotels.
You enter the house through the hall, which also has a door to a small bedroom with a double bed and a coned ceiling. On the right there is a large dining room/ living room with a high barrel vaulted ceiling . Off the sitting room is a large family suite of conical ceilinged rooms, The first of these is a large room with a single or pull out double bed. From this room, one door leads to large double bedroom and another door opens to a smaller bedroom with a single bed or pull out double bed. To the left of the entrance hall there is a coned double bedroom and a coned room with a double sofa bed. Each suite of rooms has access to its own fully equipped family bathroom, one of which has a walk-in shower and the other a bath with shower over. On the roof terrace there is a romantic double bedroom with en-suite, a/c and panoramic views to the sea. There is a terrace garden for outside dining under a pergola with a gape vine. Barbecue and pizza oven. Private 8m by 4m outside pool with solar cover and enclosed hot/cold shower. Plenty of sun loungers. All bed linen, table linen and towels etc included. Beach towels also included. Weekly cleaning and bed linen changing included.

Enjoyed our stay. Trullo San Marco is in a good location for visiting the beautiful hilltop towns and not too far from the coast. Locorotondo was our favourite and U Curdunn our favourite restaurant. Caters for children and has gluten free options. Popular, so need to book.Local shop and cafe a real plus and the owners are very friendly and helpful.Pool was only just about warm enough at this time of the year.

We had a lovely stay at the trulli in San Marco. The house departmentalisation gives good room for private hours when staying in a big group. We loved especially the swimming pool and the village and area is beautiful and the welcoming neighbors. I hope we get a chance to come to Puglia again.

Hello James
Just some feedback after our stay at your place in San Marco:
All in all a lovely place and quite charming. However, we feel it only right to comment on a few things:
Frustrating that the tap in the kitchen was leaking (if some tools had been available we could have fixed it ourselves)
Just 2 dish cloths in the kitchen for 12 people and no towel is perhaps underestimated
No parasol to be found anywhere despite the fact that there were three bases for one
The drains for all the handbasins and baths were clogged and water took some time to seep through
None of the above could spoil a holiday, but a small effort could have made it even better.
Regards

As a large family of 11 people from 74 to 8 years old, this beautiful Trullo was the perfect house for us. Plenty of space for everyone, a fabulous pool and it was full of everything you may need. Just a short walk away from the local shops and cafe/bar. There are plenty of places to visit nearby, our favourite was Alberebello and its Trulli Quarter. A great time was had by all just wished we had stayed longer!
