The Region > >

With such beautiful old centres and surrounding landscapes, Cisternino and Ostuni are the towns to be near. The surrounding countryside is the most sought after area in the region. Trulli Talily is located in between the two towns, 6km from Cisternino, 7km from Ostuni and 7km from the coastal beaches. The old towns of Ceglie Messapia and Martina Franca are also nearby.

The centre of nearby Alberobello is dominated with traditional trulli, around 1500 pack the narrow streets. The maze of well-preserved winding streets provides a fascinating amble and there are some exceptional views - particularly from Largo Castello over the woods to the North. Bits of cavorting Baroque twist out of unexpected places, including an ornamented eighteenth-century obelisk, 21m high, dedicated to Saint Oronza, which stands in the Piazza (Square) della Liberta.

A few kilometres south, Locoronto, which owes it's name to it's circular layout, has good views over the whole area, speckled with red and grey roofed trulli in a sea of vines and olive and almond trees. Further south, Cisternino rejoices in the nickname "La Vera" (the Real Thing) and is a marvellous antidote to touristy Alberobello. It's a pleasure to wander around the tiny, whitewashed alleyways of it's old town.

Going further south again, the other side of Trulli Talily, is Ostuni, known as "the White City", one of Southern Italy's most stunning small towns with a sandy coastline only 7km away. Situated on three hills at the Southern most edge of Le Merge, it was an important Greco-Roman city in the first century AD. The old centre spreads across the highest of the hills, a gleaming white splash of sun bleached streets and cobbled alleyways, dominating the plains below.

Bari airport is to the North and approximately an hour away by car whilst and Brindisi airport is about 25 mins to the South. Further South past Brindisi, the large and stunning old town of Lecce is about an hours drive.
