Quadrilocale in Ceglie Messapica

The cluster lies in the upper Salento countryside between Ceglie Messapica, Ostuni and Martina Franca, in the Valle d’Itria landscape of low karst hills, dry-stone walls, olive groves and scattered trulli. The area is close to the edge of the Murge plateau. The Adriatic coast around Ostuni is outside the immediate landscape, so it is a day-to-day destination rather than part of the setting itself. Ceglie Messapica is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre. Within about 15 km are Ostuni and Martina Franca, both with large old centres, and Alberobello is just beyond that radius. The area is known for trulli, masserie, olive oil and local gastronomy.
