Trullo Contrada Macchione, Ceglie Messapica

In the beautiful countryside of Apulia midway between Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica, 15 km from the sea, superb 10.3-hectare estate with finely restored trulli and swimming pools. The property is a unique gem, masterfully restored and preserved, and is currently a 5-star accommodation business with up to 13 bedrooms available for the guests and two magnificent 15 × 7.5 m swimming pools with ample outdoor spaces to relax or have dinner with friends.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
Trulli A (210 sqm – 2,260 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) opens with a beautiful vaulted living area with an archway leading into the kitchen facing the pool area. Beyond that, there are two sitting rooms and a studio. From the living area, a door leads to the first sleeping area made up of two double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom. A hallway departing from the studio then leads into the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and view over the pool area.
Outside, the building boasts a covered sitting area, a beautiful place for al fresco dinners and breakfasts with barbecue, and a 15 × 7 m salt-water swimming pool.

Trulli B (215 sqm – 2,313 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) is very similar in layout and style. The main doorway leads into an open space comprising the dining area and a sitting corner. From here one can pass into two more sitting/living rooms (one with a fireplace). From the living area, a hallway leads into the sleeping area made up of three spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.
As for the other trullo, the building features an outdoor dining area with traditional BBQ and a 15 x 7 m salt-water swimming pool.

Roughly 120 m from the main buildings there is the smaller trulli C (50 sqm – 538 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom), result of the restoration of an old wheat storage. This smaller unit is made up of a living area with cooking corner, a bedroom and a bathroom. Outside, the building features a covered breakfast area.

Trulli D (230 sqm – 2,475 sqft, 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is set not far from the other buildings as well (150 m), but is in need of a general renovation and updated to be exploited in its full potential. The building is made up of a spacious living room with kitchen, six bedrooms and four bathrooms.

EXTERIORS
The ample outdoor spaces of the property (10.3 hectares – 25.4 acres) are covered in gardens and paved terraces all around the two trulli. The unused areas could be easily exploited to create two tennis courts and even a helipad which would allow tourists to reach the property directly from the sky.
