Trullo della Luna – Authentic Trullo with Private Pool | Other in SAN MICHELE SALENTINO
3 Bedroom Place in San Michele Salentino
Trullo della Luna is an original "casedda", a traditional Apulian farmhouse characterized by vaulted stone cones. This four-cone rural trullo, now beautifully restored, features a large private swimming pool and offers the architectural charm of the Valle d'Itria. Once used solely by local peasants, these unique structures are now admired worldwide as iconic symbols of this Italian region and its ancient cultural heritage.
When I first discovered this trullo, it was completely abandoned.
As an architect, I saw its dry-stone walls as the evocative ruins of an ancient temple. With great enthusiasm, I restored it with the intent to preserve its historical character.
I’ve greatly enjoyed studying the ancient techniques used to build trulli (the plural of trullo). Each construction detail reveals a wealth of traditional knowledge passed down through generations. The original cones were built without the use of plaster, relying solely on the skill of highly specialized craftsmen.
Today, only a few artisans are capable of reproducing these intricate details. The restoration of Trullo della Luna was entirely funded by me, with a clear intent to safeguard this precious heritage.

The reserve covers approximately 1,000 hectares of land and 2,000 hectares of protected marine area, including seven kilometres of golden sandy coves alternating with rocky promontories.
Nearby towns worth visiting include Oria and Carovigno, as well as Ceglie Messapica, known for its beautiful historic castle. Other recommended destinations are Mesagne, Manduria, Ostuni, Massafra, Castellaneta (birthplace of Rodolfo Valentino), and Grottaglie, renowned for its handmade ceramics.

Wishing you a wonderful stay,
