We really enjoyed our stay at Nadia's Trulli. The location is great - it feels very private and secluded but at the same time it's only a short drive from the local villages.
The building itself is beautiful - cosy and rustic and surrounded by countryside and olive trees. We didn't get to try the pool as it was a bit chilly in October.
The cooking facilities are limited but there's just enough to get by - 2 convection hobs and a microwave/grill machine. There was also a lavazza pod coffee machine. A toaster wouldn't have gone amiss as we couldn't get the grill thing to brown bread, but other than that it was fine. We managed to make a couple of pasta dishes, plus salads, etc with all the lovely local ingredients available at the supermarket 5 minutes drive away.
We were provided with all the necessary basics and more - water, milk, tea, coffee, loo roll, biscuits, oil, jam, towels, etc.
We booked at very short notice but Nadia was there to greet us when we arrived and everything was clean and ready.
The Trulli zone of Alberobello is 5 minutes away by car and well worth a visit. In the other direction is the ghost town of Locorotondo, which was completely closed down when we visited and also every time we subsequently passed through it. Slightly further afield are Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, and Ostuni, all of which are beautiful (and open). Cisternino was another ghost town, but looked nice - I think we just picked the wrong day.
The lanes leading to the Trulli are very tight, we only just squeezed down them in our rented VW Touran. A small car is recommended. Top tip: turn left out of the Trulli and then go straight on and under the railway bridge for the shortest way to the main road. Mark the turning in your satnav as it's hard to see from the main road, especially when someone is driving 6 inches from your backside which seems to be the norm in Puglia.
Overall a beautiful and relaxing place to stay for a couple or a small family. Grazie Nadia!
