Guest Review
Sophie is a first rate host. The place has been thought through and everything you need and didn’t know you needed is provided. Including books, games, Bluetooth speaker, beautiful room spray… the list is long. Beautiful touches and good quality items make you feel cared for and pampered. The pool is wonderful and the place is peaceful. If you want to destress and get away from it all (and still be a 15min drive to Ostuni) you won’t find better.

Guest Review
We adored our stay at Sophie & Ben's Trullo. Stay here! It is so beautiful and so well designed. The outdoor space is gorgeous with amazing views. We loved sitting on the chairs outside our bedroom doors in the evening and having breakfast outside every morning. Really a stunning place in a beautiful setting.

Couples Retreat Testimonial
Everything about this retreat was perfect - from the peaceful nature that surrounded us, the beauty, comfort and style of their ‘Trullo' where we stayed, to the location of our sessions under the ancient trees. Sophie and Ben created the necessary safe space needed for us each to go deep, understand and root out what was at the core for each of us, also offering us practical, helpful methods for moving forward.

Time for Nourishment
Puglia is well known for its produce: from the local mozzarella cheese and pasta made by hand to the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, locally caught fish and high-quality meat you can create delicious meals in moments in our super well-equipped kitchen.
There are so many lovely local restaurants, you will be spoilt for choice! You can eat fresh fish right by the sea or go for a simple wood-fired pizza up in the hills just 5 mins from Terossa, the choices are endless.
