Nestled in the golden heart of the Valle d’Itria, Leonardo Trulli Resort is one of those rare places that stops you in your tracks. These iconic trulli have been lovingly restored into a retreat that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

But what makes Leonardo Trulli truly special isn’t just the setting — it’s the feeling. The slow mornings with views across the countryside, the flavours of an authentic Puglian table, the warmth of people who genuinely care.

At its heart is Rosalba Cardone, a woman whose passion for this land and its people infuses every corner of the resort. This isn’t hospitality as a business — it’s hospitality as a calling.

Whether you come for the architecture, the food, or simply to feel Italy the way it was meant to be felt — Leonardo Trulli Resort delivers something increasingly rare. A place with a soul.

Tucked at the foot of Europe’s most active volcano, Catania is raw, dramatic, and underrated.
Think baroque piazzas carved from black lava stone, an amazing street food, and views of Mount Etna looming over every corner like a moody masterpiece.
It’s not polished. And that’s exactly what makes it unique.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:

Piazza del Duomo — lava stone and golden light at sunset

La Pescheria fish market — chaos, color, and the freshest seafood you’ve ever seen

A Roman amphitheater hiding in plain sight — buried beneath the city streets, stumbled upon like a secret

Via dei Crociferi — one of the most breathtaking baroque streets in all of Italy, and somehow still off most tourists’ radars

Street food at every turn — arancini, pani cunzato, scacce, granita... Long list

Save this for your next Sicily trip!
