Trulli La Pietraia is situated in the beautiful countryside between Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica and is just 2km from the centre of Ostuni, the fascinating “White City” famous for its enchanting narrow streets whitened with the lime-washed walls leading to the historical town-centre in a crescendo of charming alleys and beautiful ancient palaces as far as the square with its glorious late-Gothic Cathedral. Passing beneath arches and buttresses one comes to the belvedere with its breath-taking panorama down to the sea, in a succession of delightful hidden little squares in which to pause and enjoy a glass of wine in an enchanting ambiance.
