Where to begin. I want to leave a full review for Francosimo’ property, as this will be the first review. We have just returned from a fantastic week in Cisternino. I contacted Francosimo through WhatsApp after booking the stay on the AirBnB App. Everything was straightforward, and relatively laid back. The day before my arrival, I text again and asked at what we could arrive. As there was nobody in the property before us, we were told anytime after 10am and if we used Google Maps, we would find the property easily as it is pinned. As promised, Google Maps delivered us to the property with any hassle. We arrived at the poolside bar and were promptly shown to the property which was under a 100m away and with electric gates, which it shares with one other rental property. The casa, was exactly as shown within the images. Clean, basic and all that we were looking for. There were Mozzie screens on every window and door, a washing machine and adequately equipped kitchen. There wasn’t Air Con, but this only caused a problem on one evening after the temp had touched 38 degrees during the day. We didn’t help ourselves by leaving windows and doors open with the afternoon sun beating on the front. We found if we left these closed, but then opened them when the sun went down, the trullo was nice and cool. The pool area, as said, is a hundred meters up the road and is absolutely brilliant. The 4 properties have use of it and some locals use it (all kind and respectful), there is always enough loungers, a shaded seating area, with tables and chairs. The staff couldn’t help enough with advice and supplying us with bottles of ice cold Nastro Azzurro, soft drinks and ice lollies all at a very reasonable price. There was also a small play area for kids and a jacuzzi (payable). Cisternino, is an absolute gem of town, that is less famous than some of its neighbours. The trullo is 4/500m from the Historic centre, of which half of it is up a steep hill, but the option is there to drive in also. Parking can be a struggle and requires payment. There is also a Petrol station and Supermarket 5/600m away. The whitewash alleyways and Piazza’ are fantastic and the choice of bars and restaurants is plentiful. The bars charge €1.50 for a bottle of beer and €0.80 for a coffee. Being a couple with a 4 year old boy, we paid on average €60 for 2/3 course with wine and water. We were relatively greedy and could have made this cheaper, but I loved the food and like to try different things (Even if this does result in taking half a pizza or some pasta home for lunch the next day). I really can’t recommend this trullo, pool and town highly enough. With beaches 15/20 minutes away and the world heritage site of Alberobello, Martina Franca and...
