Luca arranged for his father to meet us in the town, and then show us the way to the house. His father showed us how to turn the heat on, and where the water heater was, and gave us the keys.

The place itself was quite nice, and it felt very special to stay in a historic trulli. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were very nicely made, but there was a musty smell in the place, which I guess is unavoidable in old stone houses like this. It didn't bother my friends, but I had some allergies from it.

Despite the instructions from his father, we didn't have hot water until mid-morning the day after we checked in. We were in the middle of talking to Luca, who was in Milan at the time, about how to fix the water, when it came back on by itself.

We tried to use the washer, but when the wash cycle ended, it didn't drain the water, so when we opened up the washer door, a whole bunch of water poured out of the machine.

Wifi was surprisingly good, coffee was pretty good, the fireplace in the living room was very nice to sit by.
