This Airbnb Is Your Own Miniature Castle In The Italian Countryside

Airbnb

Deep in the southern Italian countryside, you’ll find this tiny, whimsical castle-cottage that looks like it’s straight out of a Disney classic. We’re feeling all the Sleeping Beauty vibes. And your chance to dance around the nearby forests and fields will only cost you $72 a night at Trullo Edera.

If you dream of reading a book under an olive tree or wandering serene, small-town cobblestone streets, this is the spot for you — both activities are boasted about in the Airbnb posting. You can grab a book and a bottle of Italian wine, and lounge under the Trullo’s high vaulted ceilings, out in the cute courtyard or under one of those temptingly shady olive trees. (We also spied a treehouse in the Airbnb listing!)

The home is located outside the quaint town of Cisternino, set on a hill overlooking the surrounding sights. It’s remote (read: quiet) but close enough to drive to the nearby towns of Lecce, Martina Franca, Grottaglie or Brindisi. You’re also within day-trip distance of the Adriatic Sea for a beach excursion.

Here’s how you can make this dream vacation a reality:

You’ll need to make your way to southern Italy, either by driving to Cisternino from a big hub city (Rome, Florence or Naples) or flying directly into Brindisi (just 45 minutes away by car). Trullo Edera’s owners will be available to answer questions before and after your arrival. And if you’re lucky, you might even get to hear some stories about the neighborhood over some homemade limoncello.

So friends, when are we going?
