The “Farm Sacerdote” Bed and Breakfast is composed of a main body with two floors: ground floor and first floor, and two adjoining trulli, the “Big Trullo” and the “Small Trullo”, used as rooms too, you can get to them both by a main entrance and a country road called “viale del Sacerdote”.

 

The dating at XVII century is certified for certain by the presence of a particular kind of crucifix on the chimneypot of the fireplace. The restoration of the building is excellent made with a particular method, the stone brushing inside the building and the preservation of the plaster of a century ago on the outside walls.

The large spaces in the garden are really painstaking like in an agritourism; for the guests there are comfortable deckchairs and cushions under a white sail deep in the green and tables for breakfast in the shadow of a pergola covered with climbing plants.
