Experience true tranquillity at one of Relax Puglia’s ‘Home for Holidays’ in the southernmost region of Italy. Puglia has attracted engaged couples and honeymooners for many centuries, due to its stunning landscapes, pristine coastline, sleepy hilltop towns and slow pace of life. The region has the sensation that time has stood still, and that’s all you could wish for during your holiday with close friends and family.
Perhaps you are finding it difficult to make a final choice. Perhaps you don't have the time to search through all of the properties and make a decision. Whatever the reason, let us help you in any way we can...
Relax Puglia provides a range of additional services to make your stay more relaxed, comfortable and enjoyable. On your arrival, we can arrange for a food basket to be waiting for you together with a selection of local wines. Why not spoil yourselves with your own, in-house local chef, or a luxurious massage in the comfort of your villa. We have a wide range of tours and activities to choose from and we can provide transfers and taxis to help you get around.
The Dolce Vita is from coast to coast; from the Adriatic to the Ionian, between Otranto and Gallipoli. If you wish to discover the key to local artisan excellence, include a stopover in one or more of the hamlets and villages that trip along the coastline, topple on the summits of hilltops or make a splash in to the small bays and lagoons.
A selection of articles that explore the region of Puglia: its wonderful countryside and coastline, its rich history, its fascinating culture, its delicious food and wine and, of course, its warm and welcoming people...
Trullo Gioia is an oasis of relaxation and privacy. A harmonious atmosphere with a defined Latin American style blending traditional Pugliese Trulli and lamia buildings and rustic Mediterranean gardens with co-ordinated soft interior furnishings.
The driveway crawls gently behind Trullo Gioia to private parking where guests can offload their luggage. From here you can already catch a hint of blue off in the distance from crystal clear pool waters, a sure invitation to dip toes cautiously into the water’s edge.
Here you will find the Trulli to the right, a structure typical of Puglia but unusual to new visitors to the area, and also the archetypal “lamia”, to the left. A gazebo unites the two lamie formed by wood beams and chestnut branches, offering shade from the midday sun and a suitably restful area to relax and dine at even fall.
Trullo Gioia, sleeps a maximum of four adults and is most suitable for two couples or a young family ready to explore nearby Ceglie Messapica or the celebrated Valle d’Itria towns of Cisternino, Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Ostuni. When not adventuring beyond Trullo Gioia, the poolside is the perfect invitation to do absolutely nothing, browse the internet using the wi-fi installation, survey the countryside from the roof terrace or laze in the shade of the gazebo.
Further information of indoors:
Two independently accessed matrimonial bedrooms, each with ensuite. The trullo, naturally cool in the summer, is the master suite with rich furnishings, neutral colours and low lighting with ensuite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and seating area. One of the lamie has been dedicated as the Guest’s house with ensuite shower room and is naturally light with added touches of vibrant mauve colouring.
The kitchen/lounge lamia has ample seating for all and a kitchen equipped sensibly for guests wishing to dine at home.
Further information of outdoors:
The cool concrete based swimming pool has been designed for the energetic and for those wishing to dip to cool off. Gently inclined steps afford guests the possibility to lap in shallow waters or venture out into the depths for a complete bathing experience. The pool surrounds are equipped with sunloungers and relax mattresses.
Grounds of more than 10,000 square metres are extensively populated with olive and fruit trees and guests are cordially invited to help themselves to figs and cherries when in season. The immediate garden is rustically planted with lavender, rosemary and a variety of other hardy Mediterranean plants which mirror the colours chosen to furnish the interiors.
