This was our first trip to Puglia and we couldn't have found a better place to stay. The staff, accommodation and facilities, all more than exceeded our expectations.
We found the property very easily, even though our flight landed at 9.30pm and after we had collected the car from the car hire company, it was both late and dark. Fascino Antico is located on the main road about 1km from Alberobello town centre and an ideal location if you don't want to drive, but leave the car and walk to town. Alberobello is very centrally located and again the property is ideal to use as a base if touring the region.
Our room was clean, bright and spacious with lovely crisp sheets and white fluffy towels, it was wonderful to sit outside in the morning eating breakfast in the warm sunshine and in such beautiful surroundings too.
Marilena and her family looked after us superbly, making sure we were comfortable, recommending restaurants to eat in, sites to see and all the best towns in the area to visit. She even provided us with towels to use when we spent the day at their wonderful pool, as I had forgotten to pack beach towels.
The whole complex has been restored to an exceptionally high standard, yet retains all the charm one would wish for when staying in a trullo. We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of our room and the facilities there are available on site. It was so relaxing to be able to come back,sit by the pool, have a swim and a glass of the local wine after a long day out sight-seeing.
If you are looking for a good central location to tour this area, we cannot recommend staying at the Fascino Antico highly enough. This may have been our first visit to Puglia and the Fascino Antico, but it won't be our last. We would like to thqank Marilena and her family for helping to make our stay so enjoyable.
