Amazing Trullo

Richard is the best host, great communication and gave us lots of useful information ahead of the stay. The Trullo is really amazing, a true home from home with all the amenities one needs and more. It is a beautiful property the photos cannot do it justice. The location is quiet and yet within driving distance to lots of interesting places. My kids loved the welcome pack and really enjoyed the heated swimming pool. Would love to return again in the future.

Gorgeous historic property well located for day tripping

Richard is a lovely communicative host. We knew the area already but the place felt like a home from home due to Richard and the wonderful caretaker on hand. We had a mishap with our car and they were very helpful. Also accommodating of our 2 year old and 6 month old boys needs. Stunning pool (note that heating is on request though).

Amazing Trulli in the quietest of areas

Overall a wonderful property with masses of space and everything you could want, even and air source heat pump to take the chill off the pool in the cooler months. The Trulli is beautiful and in a super peaceful location, all this plus within an hour of loads of historical Italian sites and great local restaurants it was amazing.

Amazing Trullo

Super place with swimming pool, hot tub, bbq etc. Arrived to lots of food in fridge and a few extras which was really welcomed after travel with kids. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that we didn’t want to leave. Kids pool integrated into main pool which was super for young kids - didn't worry about them falling into a deep pool. House close to lots of interesting and historical towns and beaches. Relaxing environment. Very helpful and responsive owner and property manager. Car essential. Would return for sure.

Beautiful but beware

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.

Wonderful Trullo

Beautiful, spacious trullo. Good location between the beautiful towns of Ceglie Messapica & Ostuni. Very rural, peaceful location. Well equipped kitchen, fantastic BBQ. Very helpful property manager and owner, who answered my myriad of questions very promptly. Fantastic infinity pool which was a little cool in late May but I understand the owner is planning on installing a pool heater. Beautiful location amongst olive groves with a pretty garden stocked with fruit trees. 35 minutes from Brindisi airport, an easy drive.

Traumhafte und erholsame 3 Wochen

Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern für 3Wochen in dem traumhaften Trullo. Hier hat es an nichts gefehlt, sogar Wasser, Wein, Nudel, Milch und Kaffee waren vor Ort. Sogar Nudel und Kaffee. Da durch, dass das Haus außerhalb liegt ist es sehr ruhig. Man kann sich super erholen. Das Trullo ist super gelegen, man kann von hier sehr viel und schnell bereisen. In Ostuni ist man z.b. in 10 min. Die Betreuung von Marina und Oronzo ist einfach traumhaft, vielen Dank Euch beiden.

Come una fiaba

Posto incantevole, un trullo con 12 coni con una splendida piscina circondato da un terreno con ulivi secolari, mandorli, fichi etc. La piscina è grande e adatta sia ad adulti che a bambini, avendo un'altezza che digrada dolcemente; tutti gli spazi interni sono ben curati e pulitissimi, le camere ed i bagni bellissimi e curati, a livello di accessori per la cucina si trova davvero tutto! Gli spazi esterni sono incantevoli, ogni angolo esterno offre qualcosa di diverso da vivere ed assaporare; diversi tavoli esterni a disposizione per scegliere dove mangiare, leggere, conversare. Alla sera l'illuminazione rende il luogo davvero fiabesco, grazie all'illuminazione del trullo, della piscina, dell'ulivo e degli ambianti esterni. Unico problema...non saremmo mai usciti da lì, pur essendoci tantissimi posti incantevoli nelle vicinanze! Ottima l'assistenza del proprietario Richard prima, durante e dopo il soggiorno, sempre pronto a chiarire ogni dubbio e fornire dettagli di ogni tipo! Infine grazie a Marina e Oronzo per la professionalità e gentilezza, l'assistenza al check in, precisa e cortese, sempre disponibili per qualsiasi esigenza o semplice dubbio o domanda!

Fantastic villa, amazing pool and a wonderful holiday

We had a great holiday. Although the villa sleeps 9, there were 6 of us and I would say that was probably enough for the inside space. There is a double sofa bed in the living area so if you all know each other and don't mind being 'all in together' then more people would be fine, if a little 'cosy'. We spent most of the day outside where there is plenty of space for sitting in the sun, splooshing in the wonderful, huge pool, and lounging in the shade. There are plenty of shaded areas, a large table under the massive Olive tree, a hanging chair and also a hammock in the shade. The pool was a highlight, the best we have had staying anywhere to date. Marina, the caretaker, was FANTASTIC. Nothing was too much trouble and we stayed in touch via Whatsapp including some help with translating labels on products via photo and locating things we needed. She speaks fluent English and was a total gem. The villa stayed cool in the day when we had a breeze (this took the edge of heat and made things very bearable outside), which was great for the first week but in the 2nd the breeze vanished as the temperatures rose and we needed the air conditioning on a bit more especially in the evening. We only went over our electricity quota due to not cottoning on that the water heater was an immersion (basically a large kettle) and we left it on for 2 days straight!!! We had sunshine from dawn to dusk every day for two weeks and temps were 30+ every day. The pool averaged 29-30 deg too. Locally you can get takeaway Pizza for 4-6 euros - a bargain. We didn't eat out much but did visit Ostuni which was a lovely place to go to. There were no 'bugs' at all (we have teenagers who panic!) but mosquitoes outside at night so long trousers, spray and coils are needed. If you keep the doors shut then there are none at night inside. All round brilliant. 10/10

Beautiful villa in lovely peaceful area,yet close enough to charming towns to visit.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at this beautiful trullo, the weather was glorious and so the grandchildren made the most of the pool. Inside stays nice and cool, so you hardly need the air conditioning. A peaceful place you can really relax, but also some lovely places to visit nearby for coffee, lunch or dinner. Marina met us and took us to the villa and was very helpful with local information. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, the only negative was that the sun beds were rather tired
