Puglia farms

The property is situated in the midst of a number of fields and is elevated so that it provides wonderful views and even to the sea. The secluded area is very private and secure...but is a bit of a drive to Polignano a Mare beach area--approximately 12-15 minutes. The property has wonderful outside areas with a huge dining area outside the upper unit and lots of areas to lay around the pool and sit outside. The outdoor BBQ area worked very well and the property is quite spacious. The only criticism would be that I found the bed a bit uncomfortable and the matress should be replaced. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful property. Check in with Katy was easy and she coordinated a meeting spot to help us find the location of the property. The location is close to many places such as Polignano a Mare and Monopoli and even an easy drive to Bari.

Our stay was exceptional. The host went of their way to ensure we had information about the area with suggestions on places to go, how to get there and options for dining and shopping. Communication was outstanding. We were greeted on arrival. The villa was beautiful. It was beyond our expectations. The property was updated, decorated tastefully, well maintained and squeaky clean. There were so many thoughtful details such as extra towels, candles, wine, cheese, munchies, the list is endless including delicious cakes for birthday celebrations. The villa was in an olive grove and among almond, fig, pomegranate and a variety of citrus trees. It had an herb garden and a variety of interesting plants. Every room had its own unique charm. We enjoyed the peace, quiet and safe environment. It was a short drive into Ostuni, neighbouring villages and markets and a perfect base for touring Puglia. Thank you again for the wonderful experience. It was beyond our expectations and we loved it!

What a beautiful property in the middle of Puglia. A place where you can relax and enjoy, and use as a launching point for many day trips. We would love to return one day.

This charming apartment with a lovely rooftop terrace was a perfect home for us in Ostuni. From here we could explore the Adriatic coast and the inland towns of Alberobello, Locorotondo, etc. The host Silvano welcomed us warmly and even saved a parking spot for us, mere steps from the apartment. We appreciated the delicious sweets and fruit that awaited us. Throughout our stay Silvano was at our disposal should we have questions or need anything. The apartment is well furnished in a charming manner. Kitchen is well equipped and everything is spotlessly clean. The terrace is a lovely place to sip a glass of wine before or after going out for dinner. When we left, Silvano bid us goodbye in person. We felt that we were saying goodbye to an old fried.

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.

We stayed at this gorgeous villa for a week and it was a perfect break in a lovely spot. There was plenty of contact with the owner at all times and she was always available for any questions - we came late in the evening and everything was organized for us, including basics in the fridge. There were six of us and plenty of space with three bedrooms with AC and two lovely bathrooms. The living area was great to lounge in and there was a dining table indoors and one outdoors as well as an outdoor area to sit in. The pool was magnificent - clean and it is a saltwater pool which was lovely. The villa is very private and there are olive and fig trees all around. We didn’t have a car and it was a 10 minute walk into Locorotondo which is a gorgeous town with lots of restaurants and places to have a glass of wine. We will definitely come back next time we are in Puglia and we all highly recommend this trullo villa!
