riposo del vento: trulli e B&B

The Riposo del Vento B&B lays in the heart of Valle d’Itria, in the countryside of Casalini, hamlet of Cisternino: only a few kilometres from the sea and in a central position from the historical small towns of Ostuni, the ‘white town’, MartinaFranca, the ‘lady’, Alberobello, city of the trulli, declared world heritage by UNESCO, Locorotondo e Ceglie Messapica. Cities like Lecce, Bari, Brindisi and Taranto, are around an hour by car away.
The complex dates back to the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th and is constituted by a mix of trulli and lamie, built in local stone. The Riposo del Vento B&B is composed of a group of trulli of five cones, a lamia with a barrel vault, a cellar with an entrance-alcove and a wood-burning oven to cook outside. It’s placed in a big garden with ancient olive trees, completely at the guests’ disposal. Here you’ll be able to work on your tan or take shelter in the shadow of the trees, reading a book, or idly swing in a hammock, immersed in the unique sounds of nature.
The trullo It’s a three bedrooms apartment, one of them equipped with a fireplace, kitchen and a lounge loft. The bedrooms have all bathroom and independent entrance, making it possible for two modalities: doubles rooms with kitchen and lounge in common with other guests, or entire apartment with eight beds. The kitchen is also equipped with an hearth, where you’ll be able to cook typical Puglia dishes in the “pignatta”. 
The lamia It’s a one-roomed flat for two, with private bathroom and kitchenette. There’s a fireplace at the foot of the bed that’ll heat the room when it’s cold, creating a unique atmosphere.
The Riposo del Vento B&B has mountain bikes and a vintage, cabriolet Volkswagen Beetle at the guests’ disposal, to travel around the countryside or the coast. They can be rented by the day or the week.
By request, you’ll be served aperitif in the garden or Puglia’s dinners, with genuine, local dishes, with fresh-baked bread.
At the Riposo del Vento, we aren’t offering just a place to sleep, but also a fill of emotions. You won’t just sleep in rooms furnished with natural materials, as wood, stone and linen, but you’ll also be able to enjoy the quiet of the garden, start the day with a genuine breakfast, do a cycle ride along the country roads, among olive groves, vineyards and stretches of little red tomatoes, sample a varied aperitif of local products while watching the sunset, when the light breeze recalls that even the wind decided to stop here…
