We stayed at Micaela and Ole’s trulli in Valle d'Itria in October, towards the end of the season. I don’t think we’ve ever lived better - such a beautiful, tranquil place you’ve created here! Many different favorite spots to chill, read a book and just take in the serene landscape. Oh, and the fire pit under a starry night with a sleeping baby on your arm - simply great!
My husband particularly enjoyed the garden and the kitchen in which some of his best cooking yet happened from ingredients freshly picked; celery, parsley, peppers, tomatoes, fennel dill, … nothing can beat the taste of home grown!
The surrounding area is spectacularly pretty and worth walking or bicycling through (there are three really nice bicycles that you can borrow - our little Ellie was a bit too small for the child seat still at 10 months, so we walked).
Then, you are very well positioned to do excursions with a car - within an hour and a half you can visit most of Puglia, and even Matera (highly recommended), in about thirty minutes or less you get access to a myriad of historical villages and towns; Alberobello, Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Polignano a Mare…
It is truly inspiring what Micaela and Ole has made of this place and we are very grateful for having been here, met them, enjoyed their hospitality and heard about the amazing hundreds of years history of the house.
We couldn’t recommend this house enough and wish to come back soon!
