We had a wonderful stay at Ottoconi and could not recommend it more highly. From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm and genuine welcome. The property itself is exceptional — beautifully designed with incredible taste and attention to detail. Every small touch feels carefully considered, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and incredibly comfortable. The staff were attentive, thoughtful, and always happy to help.

About the property

Inside

accommodation at OttoConi is all on one level. As the name suggests, it comprises eight original trulli cones, but there is also a lamia (another traditional Puglian dwelling with slightly barrel-vaulted ceilings). The whole complex has been cleverly united so as to allow the various spaces to flow seamlessly into each other.

The main entrance of the trullo opens into a welcoming circular hallway, the true heart of the home off which the accommodation flows. This space also tells the story of the restoration, which has been carried out with impeccable sensitivity: the venerable, buttery flagged flooring run throughout as they always did, the original stone walls and cylindrical ceilings have been imbued with a soft-focus aura, the wooden beams bear full testimony to the passing of time, and the various nooks, niches and alcoves that are so typical of trulli have been ingeniously incorporated into the overall layout, underlining the property’s character but also adding a dash of 21st-century practicality.

Turning right through an arch from the hallway, one comes to the main communal area, formed by a dining area with terrace access served by a small but well-equipped contemporary kitchen, and, through another arch, a cosy living area with some built-in seating and a comfy sofa.

Heading straight on across the hallway, meanwhile, one comes to the first bedroom with a double bed in an alcove and an en-suite shower.

Back once more in the hallway and turning left through an arch, one comes to the a second sitting area with a pair of built-in sofas to one end, an easy chair to the other, and the original fireplace in the middle.

From here, it’s a couple of steps to the lamia part of the property, which hosts two bright bedrooms, a double and a double-twin, each with its own en-suite shower room. The latter also has direct access to the surrounding gardens.

Outside

OttoConi is immersed in the beautiful countryside of the Valle d'Itria with views taking in the surrounding wheatfields and olive groves and the occasional white-tipped cones of other trulli. The gardens merge indiscernibly with the landscape, making for a really tranquil rural atmosphere.

A hop, skip and a jump away from the house across the garden is the lovely panoramic pool area, complete with two shaded pergolas. One of these hosts the convivial al fresco dining area and a built-in barbecue; the other, just beside the pool, is furnished with cushion-covered sofas.

At the other side of the garden, meanwhile, just in front of the main entrance, is an outdoor fire pit with comfortable seating, the perfect spot to recline with a drink or two under the starry summer skies.

About the Area

OttoConi is situated between the beautiful "capital" of the Valle d'Itria, Martina Franca, and the picture-postcard trullo town of Alberobello. Several other lovely towns, such as Locorotondo, Cisternino and Ostuni, a beautifully restored baroque town with stunning panoramic views, are close by. Taranto is also well worth a visit and easy to get to.

If you're looking for beaches, the Adriatic coast offers stretches of sandy and rocks and some excellent lidos. The Ionian Sea is a little bit further, but the long expanses of sandy beach found there are amongst the loveliest in the Mediterranean.

Further afield, Lecce, Gallipoli, Otranto and Monopoli are justly famous towns waiting for you to unlock their secrets.

We really enjoyed out week at OttoConi. It's a stunning retreat and a wonderful renovation. The pool was a godsend when we returned at the end of a hot day out exploring. It was a most comfortable place to relax. Awesome!

RG, visited August 2026

OttoConi was amazing. The photos really don't do it justice. It is lovely quality with such attention to detail, everything has been thought of to make sure our stay was perfect inside and out. A BBQ area close to a shaded dining table, a fantastic pool and lounging area, much needed shade from a beautiful comfy pergola area and a firepit where we sat enjoying the lovely champagne gifted to us by the host whilst watching the stars Would throughly recommend and will most definitely return.

OttoConi was purely fabulous. We had a beautiful, tranquil and relaxing stay. What stood out was the beautiful restoration, the interior layout and design, the garden, all kitchen amenities available, and the beautiful selection of different locations to relax in.

AH, visited July 2026

OttoConi is in a great location very peaceful. It's a great renovation of an old building. What stood out was the outside seating and dining area and the pool. Would we return? Yes, we loved it.

David Harrison, visited July 2026

OttoConi is a wonderful villa, clean, tidy, beautifully appointed, and set in beautiful grounds. Very quiet location, stunning views and sunsets, perfect for a few days rest and recuperation. The owner was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed. We had a truly blissful holiday and would highly recommend.

Both OttoConi and its outside facilities were beautifully presented. The renovation of the old trullo had been carried out with great care and attention to detail. The original features had not been lost and it had everything you would want in a modern home! The tranquility of the location was perfect for us. We loved the feeling of space and being close to the traditional rural way of life. We were a group of two couples and had there been six people in the villa, it would never have felt crowded. All the rooms were spacious, very comfortable and everywhere felt both traditional and modern at the same time! The facilities outside were also superb. The garden was beautifully landscaped with interesting and often fragrant plants and the barbeque, dining and pergola areas were spacious and comfortable. We felt that everyone really cared and that they were all happy that we loved our time. For everyone, caring for OttoConi, and us, was more than just a job. Thank you everyone at The Thinking Traveller. You were attentive, helpful and very professional from my very first enquiry and throughout all of our time with you. We really do look forward to travelling with you again. We have much more of Puglia to explore and learn about.
