Il Pellegrino
A passion project of simple lines and volumes, Il Pellegrino takes nature as its inspiration and the result is a sophisticated and restful retreat
Il Pellegrino is built on the dreams of a scientist, an engineer and an entrepreneur with a shared passion for Puglia’s enduring sunshine, glorious coastline and delicious food. This sensational property - a clever blend of old and new in an exquisite location in the heart of the Itria Valley – is their dream come true. And what a peaceful, beautiful dream it is.
Using best conservation practices and local materials, talented stonemasons have restored the old buildings, including a trullo that dates to the 18th century. The new building was designed to complement the old, and both blend effortlessly together, around a quiet inner courtyard.
Three of the double en-suite bedrooms occupy the old trulli and the lamia, while the fourth is in the newer space. A beautiful floor made from local stone runs throughout the property, connecting old with new and the buildings with the land they sit on. There is a kitchen and sitting room both inside and out, giving guests reason to come and stay in any season.
With room to connect with family and friends as well as to find a quiet space to be alone, the real pull of this place is its beautiful connection with nature. Approached along a straight gravel drive through the olive trees, the Mediterranean garden blurs the line between wild and cultivated and guests can snooze in the shade, jump in the pool, dine outside on pizza cooked in the pizza oven and properly reset.
With the delightful Adriatic coast less than half an hour away and the charming towns of the Itria Valley even closer, guests have so much choice in how they spend their stay. Doubtless, you’ll wish you had booked a second week. In fact, there's nothing stopping you.
