Beau trullo traditionnel avec piscine privée à Martina Franca

We had a fantastic time at Trullo Pietro. We stayed with our 3 year old and 10 month old. The accommodation was perfect as the rooms were well expect for us and the kids, there were all the family touches that made our stay easy such as child seat, baby cot, bath and plenty of toys for both the inside and outside. Our 3 year old particularly enjoyed patrolling the driveway on the scooter and being in and out the pool all day. The pool itself was lovely but as we knew, you must keep an eye on the little ones when outside or when the door is open as there’s nothing stopping them accessing the pool. The grounds are beautiful and vast if you take the time to walk around the perimeter. The location of the trullo is easy to find with google maps and within easy striking distance of Martina Franca, Alberobello, Ostuni and Locorotondo. Expect peaceful lazy days by the pool and beautiful evening strolls in the local towns. Beach days are within easy reach if you choose which we didn’t haven’t already spent 8 days on the coast before arriving here as part of our overall Puglia adventure.

We loved this property, full of character, comfortable and cosy. The only thing that would have improved it for us would have been a full sized bath (we are a very tall family though). Puglia is beautiful with many beautiful places to visit, we loved Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Alberobello & especially Matera. Anna was incredibly welcoming & helpful & there is loads of useful information about the area in the house. Would definitely recommend this property

Thank you Cheryl for the warm welcome and the nice week we spent at Trullo Pietro. The Trullo is amazingly comfortable seen its authenticity. The biggest challenge is to choose between staying at the Trullo and enjoy the pool or go the all the fantastic places around because the Trullo Pietro is also ideally located to visit cities around: no t only Martina Franca is just close by, a lot of interesting cities are within 1 hour drive (Matera, Ostuni, Alberobello, Loccorotondo, ...). We even went to Lecce that is just a bit more than 90 minutes away.

Hope the next visitors will enjoy as much as we did....

We spent a terrific five nights at Trullo Pietro. Aaron's communication was first rate, from how everything worked to information about the local area, and dining and entertainment recommendations. On site, there was nothing too much trouble for Cheryl and her family to assist with. The Trullo was deceptively spacious (even more so than the photos suggest), quiet and secluded and yet only ten minutes from Martina Franca. It has provided lifelong memories for us and our two children and if we ever find ourselves in Puglia again, we will be sure to stay there.

We spent a delightful two weeks in Trullo Pietro - a haven of peace and tranquility. Trullo Pietro offers a cool respite from the heat outdoors during the day, and yet is warm and welcoming in the evenings. It was clean and well looked after. We had everything we needed and the owner was most helpful. The manager, a delightful English speaking lady, came to greet us on our first morning and could not have been more welcoming, offering advice and suggestions of local eateries etc. I would recommend this property to a friend unreservedly. Trullo Pietro is clearly loved and the tranquility of the area is notable; birdsong and the odd car or tractor would occasionally break the quietude. The washing machine and WiFi were most welcome but otherwise we enjoyed the simple life. The men did the washing up! We interspersed busy sight seeing days with glorious rest days and were always happy to return "home" in time for sundowners by the pool. A flock of swifts sat on an overhead wire near the pool and delight us by swooping down to either drink or collect insects which had settled on the surface - we could not work out which. The infinity pool was modern and clean and the water was not over-chlorinated which was most welcome. We visited local towns and Martina Franca itself is a delight. We went in the cool of the early evening, wandering through the antiquated streets of the old town and absorbing the atmosphere. We also braved market day and bought kilos of fresh fruit and vegetables which were incredibly good value. This area is truly Italian - not much English is spoken. The food in the restaurants is authentic and local. A car is essential to get around. There is no corner shop. Even the supermarkets shut at 1.00 pm and do not reopen until 4.00 pm. Cheryl, the Manager, had left a welcome pack of basics to get us started on our first day and also brought us fresh oranges and lemons from her trees. Our activities included driving to the 'white cities' of Ostuni, Cisternino, Alberobello, Locorotondo, exploring the fascinating ancient ruins of Egnazia and the caves of Matera, which were inhabited until the 1960's. We enjoyed an authentic Italian meal in Ceglie, eating in a charming family restaurant - Capitulo. There was no menu, the chef came and talked to us. We visited both coastlines and swam in the Ionian Sea. We walked in the nearby Bosco delle Pianelle. We would love to return.
