A magical place to stay
Trulli Dei Limoni is a magical place to stay. It is very private and peaceful in its rural setting and all my family loved our week-long stay there.

Beautiful Trulli in a rural Puglia
Lovely quiet setting for a get away from it all holiday. Ceglie Messapica is only a short drive away, where there are some lovely places to eat!
The three Trulli’s are perfect for a family with older children/teenagers or 3 couples! Highly recommend. -
