We had a really lovely stay here in May 2026 as a family of five, and we'd happily return. The trullo itself is beautiful and suited us perfectly — very private and peaceful, with a pool the kids adored. Cleverly built, too: even in 30C heat it stayed naturally cool inside, so we never once needed the air con.It's a wonderful base for exploring. We had easy days out to Monopoli and Ostuni and discovered plenty of lovely local beaches, and the nearby zoo safari was a real highlight for the children. Italy really comes alive in the evenings, too — some of our loveliest moments were spent wandering Monopoli and Ostuni after dark. Do go in knowing it's genuinely remote — it's an 8–10 minute drive to the nearest shop — but for us that was part of the appeal.A couple of honest notes for future guests: the local cats can be a bit of a nuisance, and there were dogs barking through much of the night. The roads around the area also take some adjusting to if you're used to driving in the UK, France or Spain — busier and a little more chaotic — though nothing we couldn't manage.All in all, a beautiful, peaceful spot and a great property for a family. Highly recommended.
