Maria and her family were amazing hosts, catering for our every need. From the simple special welcome gifts of wine, oil and soap all made on the farm, the modern, comfortable accommodation and finally the wonderful home cooked food prepared by her mother! Set in a beautiful location this traditional Trullo is a great place to base yourself for your holiday.

Always willing to put up with me practising my poor Italian, as well as offering recommendations for trips and meals out, Maria is the perfect host. She speaks perfect English and if you can take one of her cooking courses. It was amazing to learn to cook bread and make pasta.

The area is great, with a 15 minute walk to Noci where there are some great restaurants and close by many places to visit for day trips. But don't forget the pool if you just want to laze for a day.

I recommend staying here if you want somewhere traditional, friendly, welcoming, comfortable, good value and proper Italian experience.
