Ottolire Resort
Rustic-luxe Italian countryside. Think exposed stone walls and clean modern lines in equal measure — not overly polished, genuinely rooted in Apulian craft and tradition. Family-run warmth without sacrificing quality.
Request a room with a balcony facing the fountain — guests rate the views as exceptional.
Why It Matters
One of the few properties in the Valle d'Itria that actually lives inside authentic trulli and cummerse rather than just gesturing at the aesthetic. Tablet Hotels-curated. The restaurant (Vulè) consistently gets called out as some of the best food guests ate in all of Puglia.
Ottolire is a 13-room boutique resort in the Itria Valley, built around a cluster of traditional trulli and cummerse — the conical stone dwellings that define this corner of Puglia. The founding family bought the original ruined trulli in 1973; the second generation runs the place today, and that continuity shows. Rooms are simple but beautiful, done in iron, antique fabrics, and local stone. The grounds are the real draw: paths weave through a private oak forest and ancient olive groves, the pool sits ringed by vines, and the spa occupies its own dedicated trullo.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Basic
The smallest room on the property — 15 sqm — but fitted with the same amenities as everything above it. Queen bed, private bathroom, Smart TV, minibar, safe, and kettle. Honest value for solo travelers or a couple on a tighter budget who still want to be here.
Queen · 15 sqm
Deluxe
A two-room apartment of 35–40 sqm with a living area, bathroom, and double bedroom. Bright colors, design furnishings, and a double sofa bed make this the best option for families or groups of up to four. More living space than any other room type here.
Double Queen + Double sofa bed · 38 sqm
Executive
The biggest single-occupancy option at 45 sqm, arranged in a high cummerse with exposed stone. Iron furnishings and antique fabrics recreate local materials in a modern register. Includes a loft for reading or working, plus a private balcony/terrace with sweeping views across the Itria Valley.
Queen · 45 sqmExecutive Plus
Set in an authentic trullo with exposed stone walls — the quintessential Ottolire room. 20 sqm inside, but the private courtyard with its exclusive hot tub is the headline feature. Where you go if you want the full trullo experience plus a soak under the stars.
Queen · 20 sqmStandard
20 sqm double room with modern design — described as ideal for short stays or weekends. Same full amenity set as the rest of the property. Compact but well put together.
Queen · 20 sqmSuperior
20 sqm double with a balcony or private courtyard. Colors reference the Apulian landscape, and mattresses are Simmons. A step up from Standard mostly for the outdoor private space.
