We had the most amazing week staying with Giovanni and Anna Maria at their beautiful trulli. They are the kindest people, so welcoming and friendly. Even though both work full time, they couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was offered every day if we wanted it (a small charge applies) and we shared an unforgettable meal with their family and the other guests staying there at the time in the other trulli they have available to rent at the site. They have an incredible outdoor pizza oven and cooked us all sorts of local foods, pizza breads, meat dishes and wine. It was one of the highlights of the trip!

The trulli itself is perfect, very well equipped with everything you could need for the week. It's cool and comfortable and offers a great respite from the heat of the day. The location is ideal, it's secluded and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, but its also only a few minutes to the local towns of Martina Franca and Locorotondo - both completely charming and each offering a wide range of restaurants, shops, cafes and cultural areas to visit/explore. There is a train track close by, but the trains are so infrequent this was of no consequence to us at all, certainly no noise issues.

You would definitely need a car to get around, but that's the case with Puglia generally - you'd certainly want to get out and explore towns like Alberobella, Polignano a Mare and Ostuni, with Otranto well worth the drive if you're able to get that far in the time you have.

Overall and unforgettable week and we will certainly be coming back!
Thank you both so much.
