Locorotondo is one of the most charming villages in Puglia, honoured with the title of “One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy” and repeatedly nominated to represent the excellence of Italy's small historic centres. Its name derives from the distinctive circular shape of the old town, which develops on a hill with concentric alleyways offering spectacular views over the Valle d'Itria, dotted with trulli and vineyards as far as the eye can see.
The historic centre of Locorotondo is a succession of white houses with typical “cummerse” roofs—sloping grey stone roofs that are distinct from trulli yet belong to the same Apulian architectural tradition. Strolling through the narrow streets, you come across flower-adorned balconies, Baroque churches such as the Mother Church of San Giorgio, and small wine bars where you can taste Locorotondo DOC, one of the region's most appreciated white wines.
Locorotondo is also an ideal starting point for exploring the Valle d'Itria: Alberobello, Cisternino and Martina Franca can be reached in just a few minutes, as can Ostuni and the Adriatic coast.
Thanks to its central location, Locorotondo is easily reachable from the properties selected by Trulli & Dimore: luxury trulli and villas set in the countryside of the Valle d'Itria, designed for those who want to experience an authentic stay among historic villages, vineyards and landscapes that only Puglia can offer.
