SUITABLE FOR THE FIRST WEDDING NIGHT Trulli Mikael from the 1700s recently renovated, a unique relaxing experience to live. Trulli Mikael is a beautiful stone trulli villa with swimming pool, garden and parking. It is a jewel set among the hills of the Itria Valley and is about 1 km from the ancient village of Cisternino (400m high). Ideal location to comfortably visit the surrounding villages and enjoy the splendid Adriatic coast just 16 km from the Dune Costiere regional park and Torre Guaceto nature reserve. Adjacent to the Mikael Trulli, with a separate and independent entrance, there is another housing unit, with only 2 beds called Alcova Mikael, also equipped with all services. The space shared with the Trulli Mikael is the parking lot, the garden, the solarium and the swimming pool. Book the entire villa for a total of 6 beds to live a unique experience with relatives and friends. The main feature is the beauty of staying in an authentic trullo from the 1700s and savoring the energy that the stone and the shape of the cone release into the environment. Another very useful detail are two complete bathrooms for 4 beds. Trulli Mikael are located in a central-southern area of Puglia. The guest can visit the neighboring places of historical-cultural interest during the day and in the evening return and experience the beauty of the trullo or the splendid Mediterranean garden, where there is a pergola of Mediterranean vines, a large walnut tree, olive trees, a pergola with table and chairs, perfect for relaxing in the shade of the trees during the summer heat. Or enjoy highly sought-after local gastronomy dishes such as orecchiette with turnips, sausage and local bombette, broad bean purée with vegetables and many tasty dishes of local peasant culture in the various gourmet restaurants in the area. The private parking is located on an ancient rock farmyard. It is 55 km from Brindisi Airport It is 90 km from Bari Airport
My husband and I personally welcome the guest and give him all the information necessary to make the stay interesting, in the name of authenticity, culture and history of the place. My hobby is writing poetry as well as having a passion for renovations which bring me a lot of satisfaction. We are waiting for you Carmela and Antonio
