Incroyable 'TRULLO TARANTINI'

The trullo is comfortable and pretty, it is located in an olive grove which gives a wonderful feeling of peace. The owners were eager to help if necessary. If you are looking for somewhere to relax away from it all then this is the trullo for you.

Wir wurden im Trullo Tarantini sehr herzlich empfangen und hatten dort einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und da wir Katzenliebhaber sind, waren wir sehr begeistert von den Wildkatzen, die dort in der Nähe leben.

Quiet and cosy country side house with all the comforts you need. There is air con too but we never needed it as the place keeps cool while very hot outside due to the way it has been built. The host has been fantastic: she let us pick figs from the trees in her field and since we arrived on Sunday and most shops are closed on Sunday in small villages in the inland of Italy, she brought us milk, biscuits, spaghetti, tomato sauce and water. She also brought us some home made EVO oil. She gave us a receipt of the staying as it is compulsory in Italy to do so...however not many people do it. She was really accommodating with the check in and out times: all conversation happened smoothly via whatsapp.

If you are thinking of having a piece of quiet and you do not mind driving in the Puglia country side, this is where you want to be. The host recommended to visit some place around too and these were all amazing suggestions. Food tastes so good in this part of Italy.

You do need a car if you decide to stay here as it is isolated from the closer village, Latiano, and from supermarket and restaurants.

Posticino tranquillo e intimo con tutti i comfort di cui si puo' avere bisogno. C'e' anche aria condizionata, ma non l'abbiamo mai usata perche' all'interno si stava freschi nonostante il caldo fuori. La proprietaria e' stata fantastica: ci ha fatto cogliere i fichi dalla pianta del suo orto e, siccome siamo arrivati di domenica e i negozi a Latiano erano chiusi, ci ha lasciato acqua, passata, spaghetti, latte e biscotti. Ci ha portato anche una bottiglia di olio prodotto da lei! Ci ha dato ricevuta di pagamento, cosa che non tutti fanno in Italia. La comunicazione e' stata facilissima e tutta via whatsapp.

Se cercate tranquillita' e non vi dispiace guidare nella campagna pugliese, vi consiglio di pernottare qui. La signora ci ha dato un sacco di suggerimenti su dove andare, cosa fare li intorno: le pietanze dell'entroterra pugliese sono sublimi!

Dovete munirvi di una macchina perche' il trullo e' isolato da Latiano e quindi da supermercati e ristoranti.

Sehr schönes Trulli in mitten von Olivenbäumen.

Abgelegen aber trotzdem Zentral zu Supermärkten und zur Autobahn.

Wir haben die 2 Wochen wirklich genossen.

The location is truly amazing, set amongst nothing but olive trees, it is so peaceful. At times, especially in the mornings when we sat round the back to have our coffee, we could almost believe we were the only two people in the world. If you're stressed out and want somewhere to go with a pile of books and a box of wine this would be the place to go!

As for the Trullo itself, the conservatory and bathroom are new, clean and very modern. And the bathroom has a very good modern washing machine. The rest of the Trullo is very traditional and very rustic, not immaculate but very quaint. And we loved feeding the elderly cat who dropped by, who was very grateful, friendly and affectionate. It broke our hearts to say good- bye to him. Hope all future holidaymakers, follow on the tradition of giving him some food and leaving food for the next occupants to continue feeding him...he's really getting on a bit!

You will definitely need a car staying here. There are local supermarkets but we highly recommend Auchen which is about 20 minutes away on the motorway. It's huge and has got everything including a cash point machine near the checkouts. Great place to go to stock up on everything!

Also recommend, if you go to the local beaches to go to one of the lidos, where you can park your car in the shade for around €5 and enjoy the facilities - bars, showers and toilets (couldn't see any public ones at the beaches).

We would also like to give a special thanks to Rita who welcomed us with a delicious selection of Italian specialities and cherry liqueur which we enjoyed on our first night.
