Beautiful Itria Valley. Peace, relaxation & star gazing. We just spent a week at Michele & Ester’s incredible Trulli. When we arrived both Michele & Ester gave us a warm welcome & showed us around. The pictures don’t reflect how amazing this space is & we think one of the nicest areas of Puglia.
My daughter loved the pool which was generous size & great for cooling off. We basically lived in it for the entire week. It was bliss. The Trulli had everything needed, well stocked & immaculately clean. I always found what we needed. We cooked most days & bbq’d at night . We really couldn’t leave this place.
The town of Cisternino nearby was beautiful with lovely restaurants & coffee bars, bakery’s, supermarkets etc. We felt spoilt for choice. We shopped in huge supermarket close by & some days we ordered by whatsapp from pizzeria Le Voyage also nearby who had text on entire menu.
The trulli is near both coastlines if you can drag yourself away, we did however venture & went to beach called Pilone beach half hour away, great for children, turquoise calm sea & while sand.
The space inside the Trulli was suitable & spacious with two good size bathrooms, two bedrooms with comfortable beds & decor was very tasteful & fitting to style & type of this unique building. Internet not great but you really wont miss it here!
We took Michele’s advice & rented some bicycles which were delivered & collected from the trulli. There is an amazing cycle track close by & we enjoyed nearly whole day of cycling through Valle D’Itria, beautiful scenery.
There are plenty of insects but we are nature lovers & loved seeing the bugs up close. We also had a cat drop by most evenings to my daughters delight. We were also very fortunate that a gelato van stopped by on first day & we bought weeks supply of ice cream which was really nice surprise.
You will need a car to get around but you wont want to leave once you arrive & everything is very close by. There are vineyards surrounding the area, we ate figs, pears, peach & walnuts all from surrounding land. The outside seating areas of the Trulli are fantastic especially for star gazing which we did every night. Bliss
We would return in a heartbeat. It was a perfect place for a family holiday, secluded & peaceful. I would hugely recommend this place to anyone seeking a quiet place. We felt rested & revived after our stay here.
