Locorotondo & the trulli country

Holidays in the Itria Valley

Stay in Locorotondo for evening walks through the whitewashed centre, or choose a country masseria for a garden and pool between outings to Alberobello and Martina Franca.

ExpertoItaly’s view

Town or countryside?

In the old centre of Locorotondo you can finish a day in the valley by walking straight out to dinner. Out among the olive groves, the pleasure is coming back to a pool and a meal at the masseria. Choose the latter when you want time on the property and are happy driving between towns.

Give Alberobello a morning of its own. Leave another day for Martina Franca and Locorotondo, with time to wander rather than trying to see every trullo town before lunch.
