Lovely place huge pool great location, it’s a shame we were charged extra for electric as it was on our mind all week it cost us an extra 80 considering the villa was expensive that only 1 bedroom used aircon we only heated pool for 5 days the jacuzzi was only on for a day and half as not working, would be better if electric was included. Apart from that we would go back

Amazing Trullo

Richard is the best host, great communication and gave us lots of useful information ahead of the stay. The Trullo is really amazing, a true home from home with all the amenities one needs and more. It is a beautiful property the photos cannot do it justice. The location is quiet and yet within driving distance to lots of interesting places. My kids loved the welcome pack and really enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Would love to return again in the future.

Amazing Trulli in the quietest of areas

Overall a wonderful property with masses of space and everything you could want, even and air source heat pump to take the chill off the pool in the cooler months. The Trulli is beautiful and in a super peaceful location, all this plus within an hour of loads of historical Italian sites and great local restaurants it was amazing.

Gorgeous historic property well located for day tripping

Richard is a lovely communicative host. We knew the area already but the place felt like a home from home due to Richard and the wonderful caretaker on hand. We had a mishap with our car and they were very helpful. Also accommodating of our 2 year old and 6 month old boys needs. Stunning pool (note that heating is on request though).

Beautiful Trullo, Helpful Host

This is an amazing and comfortable property. The trullo home is beautiful, clean, well-stocked, and secure. It is almost retreat-like. The grounds are lovely, including the olive orchard and other flowering trees and plants. It was unseasonably cool and rainy, and we did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool and hot tub. The hosts were wonderfully responsive, and issues that came up (nothing big) were addressed quickly and effectively. The restaurants suggested are top notch, as were other recommendations. Some neighbors were delightful, we enjoyed them very much. It is in a rural orchard/farm area and a few aspects reflect that (need to rent a vehicle; no garbage collection, remote drop off in the evenings/nights; a few territorial dogs in the neighborhood). We had a terrific stay and are grateful for it. We recommend this beautiful and special property for your Puglia vacation.

Amazing Trullo

Super place with swimming pool, hot tub, bbq etc. Arrived to lots of food in fridge and a few extras which was really welcomed after travel with kids. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that we didn’t want to leave. Kids pool integrated into main pool which was super for young kids - didn't worry about them falling into a deep pool. House close to lots of interesting and historical towns and beaches. Relaxing environment. Very helpful and responsive owner and property manager. Car essential. Would return for sure.

Beautiful but beware

We stayed in this beautiful Trulli from May 6-12, 2023. The owner was very responsive and provided lots of details prior to our stay on the local area, restaurants, sight seeing, etc. The property manager was also very easy to communicate with and was in touch with us via WhatsApp to arrange meeting us at the house for check in and check out. The property itself is stunning and exactly as advertised - lots of flowers and fruit trees. etc. We enjoyed eating alfresco under the ancient olive tree. The one issue that we had, that unfortunately left us very disappointed is around the electricity and the pool. Firstly - the owner will ask for a security deposit that is not identified in the listing and will tell you that the listing only includes 75Euro towards electricity for a week. We were surprised but felt that this should be sufficient for our group of 4 adults. They will take meter readings on arrival and departure and calculate your use. At the end of the week we were told that we had exceeded the electricity by over 200Euro. Needless to say we were shocked and very upset. We didn't leave lights on, didn't run the pool heater or hot tub, and only spent time in the Trulli in the evenings where we sat in the kitchen playing cards - no TV, computers, or anything else that would account for the electricity being so high. We later received an apology from the property manager indicating that she had miscalculated and we didn't owe any extra. I understand that mistakes happen, but feel that when we questioned the charge she should have rechecked the numbers rather than accusing us of misusing the electricity. In hand with the electricity, and something we have never experienced before - we were shown how to turn on the hot water heater and told that we should turn it on only when we need to shower - and that it takes an hour for the water to heat up. At over $500 a night I don't feel it is unreasonable to expect to have hot water on demand. Final issue is the pool. This property is marketed as having a HEATED pool, which is the main reason we chose it over others in the area. With the electricity limitations running the pool heater would have cost us a considerable amount. When we argued that the owner did agree to waive the fee. Unfortunately the guests before us had not reported that the pump wasn't working, and did not have the heater on so it would have taken 3-4 days to heat the pool before we could use it.

Wonderful Trullo

Beautiful, spacious trullo. Good location between the beautiful towns of Ceglie Messapica & Ostuni. Very rural, peaceful location. Well equipped kitchen, fantastic BBQ. Very helpful property manager and owner, who answered my myriad of questions very promptly. Fantastic infinity pool which was a little cool in late May but I understand the owner is planning on installing a pool heater. Beautiful location amongst olive groves with a pretty garden stocked with fruit trees. 35 minutes from Brindisi airport, an easy drive.

Come una fiaba

Posto incantevole, un trullo con 12 coni con una splendida piscina circondato da un terreno con ulivi secolari, mandorli, fichi etc. La piscina è grande e adatta sia ad adulti che a bambini, avendo un'altezza che digrada dolcemente; tutti gli spazi interni sono ben curati e pulitissimi, le camere ed i bagni bellissimi e curati, a livello di accessori per la cucina si trova davvero tutto! Gli spazi esterni sono incantevoli, ogni angolo esterno offre qualcosa di diverso da vivere ed assaporare; diversi tavoli esterni a disposizione per scegliere dove mangiare, leggere, conversare. Alla sera l'illuminazione rende il luogo davvero fiabesco, grazie all'illuminazione del trullo, della piscina, dell'ulivo e degli ambianti esterni. Unico problema...non saremmo mai usciti da lì, pur essendoci tantissimi posti incantevoli nelle vicinanze! Ottima l'assistenza del proprietario Richard prima, durante e dopo il soggiorno, sempre pronto a chiarire ogni dubbio e fornire dettagli di ogni tipo! Infine grazie a Marina e Oronzo per la professionalità e gentilezza, l'assistenza al check in, precisa e cortese, sempre disponibili per qualsiasi esigenza o semplice dubbio o domanda!
