A charming trullo in a gorgeous setting near town!
We had the greatest trip to Puglia! The trullo is nestled on a hill with a gorgeous flower garden and olive trees dotting the nearby hills as far as the eye can see. The outdoor pool area includes a great portico with comfy furniture to get out of the rain or heat and umbrellas poolside when you want partial shade. Several options for al fresco dining. The garden cats come to say hi and keep the lizards out of the trullo. The trullo is so charming! It stays dark and cool no matter the weather. The bed was comfier than mine at home and we slept like babies. The kitchen has everything you need to cook incredible meals, and the supermercati is nearby, only a few minutes drive into town. I recommend renting a car from Vitto, the owner. It includes airport pick-up and drop off, making travel so easy. Alberobello is only a few miles away, but the roads are dusty and rocky and it's worth having wheels (hint: make 106.3 Radio Puglia your preset station for Italian pop). We visited nearby Locorotondo (a must!) and several gorgeoubeaches on Monopoli. Thirty minute drive and you're standing in the bottle green Adriatic Sea! Vitto, the owner, is super responsive and (though we had no problems) would have taken care of any that arose quickly. He made great suggestions for day trips. This is not the vacation for those who wants to see all the tourist traps in Italy. It's for those travelers who want to immerse themselves in the true culture of Southern Italy. It's low-key and slow living!
