'Trullo Marianna' is one of the most beautiful houses we ever stayed in, both inside & out. Tasteful decorations, a beautiful outside terrace - with a cold and hot shower, even! We must return some day at a time of year when temperatures are higher than we experienced - we were a bit unlucky in that respect, it turned out, with Northern wind forces that locals apparently had not experienced in years... Puglia is a province with a lot to offer, i.e. wonderful seafood at 'Osteria del Porte' in Savelletri! Olive trees a thousand years old, excellent biological wine at very reasonable prices at Natalino Del Prete (a pioneer in sulphur-less wines from the 70s onwards), nice, open-minded inhabitants, proud of their surroundings and produce. Brindisi, with it's 12th century crusader's church where one can witness and touch the scratches made by the swords of knights ready to leave for Jerusalem, who rode in on horseback and hit their swords against the marble pillars for good luck. Enjoy!
