The Resort

In an evocative space, a few kilometers from Locorotondo , one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, stands the Tenuta del Lauro , a country residence of fine, white elegance, immersed in the greenery of ancient laurels and olive trees and open to the hospitality.

Located in the Itria valley , between Locorotondo and Alberobello, the Tenuta del Lauro is an oasis of peace immersed in nature and recovered with a patient restoration work of 11 trulli with 350 years of life.

LAUREL ESTATE

Tenuta del Lauro is a unique experience for those who want to experience the Valle d'Itria intensely , discover new emotions and regain possession of their time .

Around the house mastic trees, holm oaks, strawberry tree bushes, rosemary and lavender offer an unexpected journey into the perception of colors and fragrances.
