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.
A tennis court, a children's trampoline, a hammock, bikes, easy fitness and yoga equipment, mean guests of every age have something to enjoy without ever leaving the estate. A rooftop terrace — perfect for evening aperitivo — completes the picture.

Carpignano Salentino sits at the heart of Salento — the sun-drenched heel of Italy's boot — placing the masseria within easy reach of some of Puglia's most spectacular coastline. The crystal waters of Torre Sant'Andrea and Torre dell'Orso are under 25 minutes' drive, while the Baroque jewel of Lecce, the sea caves of Otranto and the lagoons of Alimini are all under an hour. This is a base for exploring one of Italy's most authentic, unhurried regions — or simply for staying put and never wanting to leave.
