Masseria il Trullino — A Luxurious Countryside Retreat Near Lecce and the Sea Escape to one of Salento's most beautiful traditional masseria — a five-bedroom private estate set among ancient olive groves in the heart of Puglia. Masseria Il Trullino is a rare find: a property that combines authentic southern Italian architecture with genuine luxury, and generous outdoor space. Ideal for multi-generational families and groups of friends who want the freedom , priva y and seclusions of a private villa. Built in the warm tones of 'Pietra Leccese' using traditional craftsmanship, this beautifully restored villa features dramatic star-vaulted ceilings and is set within a private, gated 2-hectare olive grove—just under 1km from the nearest town. Spread across sun-drenched grounds, the masseria offers five elegantly furnished double bedrooms, each with air conditioning and traditional shuttered windows that keep rooms beautifully cool and dark for long afternoon rests. Five bathrooms, a well-equipped modern kitchen and multiple indoor and outdoor living areas give large groups the space to gather — or find their own quiet corner. The centrepiece is the stunning heated overflow pool, surrounded by loungers and shaded by centuries-old olive trees. The pool comes with an electric cover.
