Guest Review
Sophie is a first rate host. The place has been thought through and everything you need and didn’t know you needed is provided. Including books, games, Bluetooth speaker, beautiful room spray… the list is long. Beautiful touches and good quality items make you feel cared for and pampered. The pool is wonderful and the place is peaceful. If you want to destress and get away from it all (and still be a 15min drive to Ostuni) you won’t find better.

Guest Review
We adored our stay at Sophie & Ben's Trullo. Stay here! It is so beautiful and so well designed. The outdoor space is gorgeous with amazing views. We loved sitting on the chairs outside our bedroom doors in the evening and having breakfast outside every morning. Really a stunning place in a beautiful setting.

Guest Review
Actually, we considered to not write a review to keep this place to ourselves….. but that would be unfair to Sophie and Ben who turned this house into a small paradise on earth. Tucked into an orchard of olive, fig, and almond trees in the rolling hills this charming trullo offers comfort and a relaxed base to explore the wonderful landscape, towns, and restaurants around. The Trullo is recently renovated and is very comfortable with a kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Plenty of outside space around the house, always a shady space, that extends into the orchard. Outside shower, pool, and a place for yoga or workout at hand. Sophie and Ben live on the premises at distance, and you occasionally meet them as good neighbours. They really take care of the place and run it in a sustainable way. They provided us with local sweets, fresh drinking water (to avoid plastic bottles) and handpicked tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. Fresh almonds and figs are enjoyable ‘do it yourself’ part of the stay. Highly recommended but don’t fully book it as we would like to return. See you soon Sophie and Ben!

Time for Nourishment
Puglia is well known for its produce: from the local mozzarella cheese and pasta made by hand to the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, locally caught fish and high-quality meat you can create delicious meals in moments in our super well-equipped kitchen.
There are so many lovely local restaurants, you will be spoilt for choice! You can eat fresh fish right by the sea or go for a simple wood-fired pizza up in the hills just 5 mins from Terossa, the choices are endless.
