Overview
Trullo Raldi is a charming two-bedroom villa in the heart of Puglia, offering an authentic retreat for up to four guests. The family's passion for hospitality dates back to 1980 when Castellana Grotte became a tourist destination following the discovery of its magnificent caves. With nearly 40 years of experience, we take pride in ensuring our guests enjoy a memorable stay at Trullo Raldi, a beautifully restored 100-year-old trullo.
Inside, the villa seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern comforts. The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for home-cooked meals. The villa features two bedrooms—one with a double bed and another with twin beds, making it ideal for families or small groups. A modern bathroom with a shower, sink, bidet, and WC completes the interiors.
Outside, guests can relax by the private swimming pool, unwind on the pool terrace with sun loungers, or enjoy alfresco dining under the shaded veranda. A hammock invites afternoon naps, while the barbecue is perfect for grilling local delicacies.
Located near Castellana Grotte, Trullo Raldi provides easy access to stunning caves, historic towns, and the breathtaking Puglian coastline.
