My family traveled to the Puglia from the hectic and chaotic city of Naples and breathed a sigh of relief upon our arrival, you could almost see the stress washing away.
The setting is tranquil and serene, so quiet and relaxing.
The Trullo has been meticulously restored with all the modern amenties. It is set in the countryside surrounded by olive and fruit orchards. But it is only a short 20-30 mintue drive from Alberrobello, Ostuni, Polignano a Mare and so many other places of interest.
We were greeted by Giuliano's father, Angelo, who was the most friendly Italian we had yet to meet. He explained the history of the structure and provided suggestions of where to visit and eat. We had lengthy conversations with him and he even serenated us with his clarinet. We felt as if we were leaving a friend behind.
This stay in an historic Trullo and meeting our gracious host will never be forgotten.
