If you’re able to connect to the place itself, we believe that traveling can be extraordinary and life-changing. With this in mind, our trulli have been designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape. Inviting you to create not only cultural links to a place, but emotional and spiritual ones as well. The places we travel to enrich our lives, and can positively impact the way we deal with the world and the people in it. It is our wish for guests to have fond memories of Trulli di Maya.
We have always felt the need to provide a home away from home for travelers, rather than just a roof over their heads. When traveling, being warmly welcomed into a space allows the strangeness or disconnection to melt away and a comfort and ease to settle in. Home relies on the simplest of things; the warmth of materials, the smell of of the herbs in the garden, the memory of pleasure, a garden view and the quiet stillness of a room. This tradition of opening one’s home to welcome travelers comes from our ancestors. To this day, our vision remains rooted in this warm welcome.
Italian culture is strongly reflected in its architecture. To honor the memory of apulian history and our different origins rooted in Sicily, Netherland, Greece and Indonesia, we immortalized them through the structural elements and design. Each one of our trullo tells a story from our culture and from the very landscape in which it resides. By reinventing styles, details, and ways of living, we are able to connect the past, present and future. Moreover, by stimulating the senses the soul is reminded of connection and comfort. Memory is not only evoked by space and place, but through familiar tastes, smells, and sounds.
Having less is to live more. We believe that by reducing superficial and superfluous things, guests can easily settle in and relax. Beauty, as reflected in nature, relies on what is essential. To live intimately with nature, you experience the frailty of life, the raw beauty, the happiness and ease, as well as its imperfections. Here every detail has been carefully designed and every object has been collected over twenty years.
The connection with fauna and flora represents a key part of living at the trulli, as it allows guests to step back from their fraught and fast-paced lifestyles, and enjoy the calm, serenity and peace that comes from connecting with Nature.
The identity of this place is expressed in an architectural language which relies on a specific set of materials and application techniques. To ensure the connection between the trulli and its surroundings, we have chosen materials from the tradition, capable of connecting the building to history of the place.
