  My Mother and I had a wonderful stay at Trulli Vista this past April/May. Glenn and Steve have created a magical setting for a truly relaxing, private and authentic southern Italian vacation experience. The house itself was beautiful, in the style of the famous Trulli buildings which dot the landscape, but completely redone and comfortable with every modern amenity. The location was ideal, tucked on a private road next to a fantastic hiking/biking trail, and very close driving distance to several charming hilltowns (Cisternino and Ceglie, in particular). We spent our mornings enjoying a cafe and breakfast on the patio, and afternoons lounging by the pool in the shaded outdoor living area. Venturing out to the local hill towns for an early evening cafe or gelati, and dinner in one of the many fantastic restaurants capped off some of the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation days we've ever experienced. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Perfect for two couples, a family, and those who enjoy peacefulness, natural beauty, hiking or biking, or just want a great homebase to explore Puglia. I hope we can return again soon!

  Owner response: Thank you, we hope you can return again soon . . . there are many more excellent restaurants and plenty more to see/do than only one week in one lifetime permits! Grazie

  The Ostuni trulli was clean, comfortable and cozy with all the amenities we could have hoped for.The alcove sitting room off the master bedroom was our favorite little spot to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect on each day. The kitchen was well equipped with everything a traveling chef might look for. It was so pleasing to experience all the nature that surrounds the house--the ancient olive out the kitchen window, the flowering almonds beyond the pool, the irises perkily waving nearby, and the prickly cactus everywhere. The trulli is in a quiet, peaceful area, but it is centrally located and just a short ride to all the charming small towns of the Itria Valley. The Sarolo winery on the next street was a great place to get provisions for the week! The very best feature of the house is one of the owners, Glenn! No matter how many questions we asked him in advance or during our stay (including a desperate "where is the hair dryer?!"), he responded like he was our best friend--delighted to provide any and all information to make our stay wonderful. We would highly recommend this rental to others and hope to return again someday. Donna and Joe, Rhode Island, USA

  Owner response: Grazie Donna and Joe, our pleasure! Amongst your kind words none surpasses 'friend' in my book . . . thank you and hope we have the opportunity to meet -- this time over a glass of wine --- in the future.

  The Trullo is well equiped, nothing missing, important for us was that the heating system worked perfectly (during nights it gets pretty cold in April). The owners are caring about their customers in a way, which was for us outstandnig and rarely to be found! Everythings was as described and met our expectation in every aspect. Great location for people who like the nature, nothing for party or club goers. The location is also good for making tours, be it Castel del Monte or in the opposite direction, e.g. Lecce. The sea is in about half an hour by car, but in summer the own pool is much more convenient and easier to reach, just some steps. Summary: the Trullo is great and recommendable to friends.

  Owner response: Thank you Dieter, so pleased that you and your wife enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure having you both stay in our trulli and hope you have the occassion to visit us again. Glenn

  We spent a great week in your trulli. The October weather was kind to us so we were able to enjoy eating on the terrace and particularly the relaxing area by the pool which was the perfect location for an early evening G&T! There is a lot to see and do within a short distance, we didn't get around all of the local towns but enjoyed the ones we did get too. We also appreciated the restaurant recommendations and enjoyed some lovely food and wine. We sampled the wine and grappa from your local vineyard too and found a great butcher in Martina Franca who had a good selection of wine and cheese as well as nicely preapred delicacies for our BBQ. You have created the perfect haven for a relaxing holiday in a lovely part of Italy. Thank you! Nigel, Helen, Megan and Nathan

  Owner response: Thank you Nigel, Helen, Megan and Nathan. Happy to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at our trulli. Yes, October is an often overlooked and all-too-often undervalued time of year in Puglia . . . so glad you were able to experience it. I was just at the trulli myself and your G&T's comment in our Guest Book brought a smile to my face! Thank you again for choosing our trulli for you holiday.

  You two have quite a gem of a getaway spot in the very unique and magical land of the Trulli!!!! Attention to detail was obvious and the addition of the Great Pool and Pergola made our stay very relaxing and romantic!!! The Mini-Mart was quite a nice surprise being so close to our base of local travel and we stocked up with nearly everything we could ask for and it was extremely affordable. The kitchen was well organized and stocked and had lots of exterior light, especially when observing the Sunrises and Sunsets. We were appreciative of the quiet and private location and would recommend this stay to anyone. Thanks Glen and Steve!!! Dennis and Gina

  Owner response: Dennis and Gina, so glad you enjoyed your stay at our trulli and in Puglia. The sunsets are really something spectacular, especially with a 'sundowner' in the pergola :) Thanks for the review and we hope to welcome you back again sometime soon.

  The four of us all loved staying at your trulli! You and Steve have done a wonderful job making it homey and charming. Every day was an adventure....but we found time each day to walk in the 'neighborhood' ---picking figs, grapes, almonds. The late afternoon sky always provided a fantastic sunset, and the evenings were equally spectacular. The pool was enjoyed by all....especially Donny, who started and ended each day with a dip. We walked to the mini market a few times, and found it to have wonderful cheeses, salami, produce, bread...and wine! We cooked quite a bit....but enjoyed many of the restaurants in Ceglie and Martina Franca. A bit too much time was spent driving to Puglian towns (in no special order--)--Ostuni, Ceglie, Locorotondo, Fasano, Savalettri, Costa Merlata, Oria, Alberobello, Porto Cesare (great market!), Polignano al Mare, Lecce...and we got caught in a flash flood/wild hailstorm on our was to Salentina. But each day, we made sure that we returned to the trulli in time to open a bottle of wine, take a swim, a walk, or just enjoy the sunset. All in all---Steve and Glenn--we loved loved our time in Puglia at your trulli. We cannot thank you enough!

  We just had a perfect week. It was pure recreation at a marvellous place. We come again to this treasure. It is a well-maintained property and very clean. We enjoyed fresh figs, grapes and almonds from the garden. The pool is perfect and the gazebo is just wonderful for relaxing or having a drink. A very quiet place. Greetings Markus & Ingrid

  Owner response: So glad that you both had an equally good time this second visit to our trulli as your first! Thank you so much for the review. Hope to hear from you again next year :) and, if you come earlier in the season, I'll let you know were the apricot tree is! Have a great remainder of the year. Glenn

  From Philippa & Martin (UK) "I just wanted to say what a lovely time we had in your beautiful Trulli. We have returned to the UK feeling totally relaxed. We don't usually go back to places we've been on holiday but we might well make an exception this time :) Thank you, and thank you as well for the bottle of Prosecco, it was much appreciated. All the very best"

  Dear Glenn and Steve, These few words to say that we really and honestly enjoyed our stay at your trullo from 4th to 25th August 2012. It was a pleasing holiday letting no wishes open in the hose and in the country. People are very kind. Food and drinks are perfect. Sun is omnipresent. The restaurants that most pleased us were "La Tana" in Martina Franca and "Cibus" in Ceglie Messapica. Not to forget smaller trattorias and osterias like "Osteria Pugliese" in Ceglie. The trulli is well equipped and lacking of nothing. Pool cleaning, location and room cleaning are perfect. Mimmo's advice was very helpful and productive. The bedroom has a very good temperature for sleeping beside the very high temperatures outside. Electrical installation and equipment are complete. Hot and cold water functioning very well in the trulli. Thanks again for sharing your trulli and your pool with us. We will keep an excellent memory of our holiday this year. Martine, Francine and Patrick Bausch, Luxembourg
