Leonardo Trulli Resort is a place of the soul — an authentic retreat in the heart of the Itria Valley, in Locorotondo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and the scents of the Apulian countryside, it rises on the hills that embrace the Adriatic and Ionian seas, where time slows down and nature welcomes you with its regenerating silence.
Born from the sustainable and loving restoration of 18th-century trulli, a 20th-century masseria and a 19th-century manor house, the resort tells a story of roots, memory, and rebirth. It is the story of Leonardo Cardone, a man of the land and of heart, who worked these fields from a young age and made them his life.
During the war, he served in the Italian Red Cross, and an unrequited love forever marked his destiny. His correspondence from those years, still preserved here, is the thread that unites past and present — the devotion to the land with the strength of feelings.
After him, Rosalba, his niece and guardian of his legacy, brought this place back to life with vision and passion. She transformed a forgotten farmhouse into a refined residence where well-being meets tradition and where every stone tells an emotion.
For over fifteen years, her team has promoted a green philosophy that celebrates nature, culture, and the ancient traditions of Puglia. Today, Leonardo Trulli Resort is a haven of authenticity, relaxation, and privacy.
It is the Genius Loci of the Itria Valley: a life experience, a journey through history, beauty, and silence — where every guest rediscovers themselves and the purest essence of Puglia.
