Italy country houses

This will be a very dull read! It's our third stay here and it just gets better and better! It feels like home but in one of the most lovely parts of beautiful Toscana. Nothing is missing from the house that you'd need and Isabella just keeps adding super 'extras'. Stay here and I can guarantee that you will have a beautiful and memorable experience, and I'll bet that you'll return!

My wife and I stayed in Trulli Bianchi for 7 nights in June and loved it! The Trulli is at the end of a gravel lane on the outskirts of Alberobello so it is peaceful, private and with great views. The Trulli is very well equipped and very comfortable. The pool is fabulous with lots of sunny and shady areas to relax in. We had a couple of BBQ's but ate out most days with lots of restaurants in the nearby towns and villages. Mariella met us in Alberobello when we arrived and took us to the property and was extremely helpful and kind. Overall, we can thoroughly recommend both Trulli Bianchi and Puglia for a wonderful holiday and would happily return.

Excellent communication in the run up to our trip gave us confidence to know exactly how we would gain access, taking the stress out of the arrival. Gino is the perfect host, gave some restaurant recommendations which we followed up on - as well as a map of supermarkets and local amenities. There was everything we could have needed, the kitchen was well stocked with the little things you don’t want to have to buy, like salt, cling film, olive oil etc. We aren’t big coffee drinkers, but there was also plenty of fresh coffee and a wonderful bottle of Prosecco to celebrate my friend’s 60th birthday. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked perfectly for us, the location is ideal. We have visited Rome many times and know the city very well so can truly recommend this as a perfect place to stay!

Superb apartment in a great central location in Monterosso. Literally a few steps from the main street "via Roma" and the same distance from the main square and the beach in the Old Town. Would highly recommend this apartment for anyone staying in Monterosso, and if we return in the future I would not hesitate to ask Sara if she has availability

What a wonderful location and apartment. Monterosso was definitely the best of the five villages for children, with a great beach with beautiful water (lacking in the other villages). The weather was very hot (which we liked) and the apartment was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. It’s up 120 steps but we saw this as a fitness exercise to walk off the ice cream. And to be honest was not difficult. Prices in Monterosso are a bit higher than elsewhere in Italy but given the wonderful unique location this was to be expected and probably lower than Positano, Ravello etc which is probably the only other equivalent place i can think of. The best thing about the holiday was the proximity of the apartment to everything. Very close to train station, straight down the steps to the beach, restaurants, shops etc while at the same time it was quiet and private location to stay. Highly recommend it. 7 great days.
