I just love this place and have been back several times. It gives me such a sense of well-being. It embodies the grace and elegance, and sheer abundance of this part of the world. The trulli itself is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. You can stay at home lazing in the hammock, or explore any number of magical towns, markets, restaurants, gelateria, beaches. You will want to do all these things, over and over.
Fantastic place to spend our 20th anniversary. All the arrangements went well - even found it in the dark. Facilities great, dry, heating useful in May, welcoming and a genuine trullo experience - not the artificial tourist version. Nearby Martina Franca is a beautiful town, very friendly, and easy access to all the best places in Puglie. Thoroughly recommended - kids (including those in their 60s!) will love it. One word of advice - get a smallish hire car - it's a narrow lane up to the trulli.
We stayed here in September when the weather was warm, but stormy at times. The Trulli is in a good location as there are lots of lovely towns, villages and beaches within driving distance. You must have a car here. It is at the bottom of a hamlet, with two Italian families who live nearby. Its very peaceful and we had some wonderful afternoons drinking wine and lazying in the sunshine. The trulli itself is comfortable, the only issue were the mozzies.
It is a remarkable and fascinating area of Italy which is still relatively untouched- and the food is delicious and the sun shines and the wine flows! Everyone who has stayed at our trullo has loved it. It has an old feel about it with long established pine trees in the front garden and a walnut tree, and olive and almond trees in the back. If you sit on the roof in the evening drinking your prosecco you look out over the whole Itria valley, hear the breeze whistling through the trees. From here you can walk down the back lanes and explore the extraordinary variety of trull in the area. All in all it is an experience not to be missed!
Friendly people, fascinating architectures, fabulous food and wine, sun, abundant fresh produce growing everywhere dropping off the trees. This is the "real" Italy where you can step back in time.
