Emilio’s trullo is absolutely aamazing. It exceeded all our expectations. It is the perfect escape. We had an amazing 7 days to just relax around not only the stunning pool (pictures don’t do it justice) but also all the amazing outdoor spaces that were thoughtfully designed. My kids loved staying in the unique trullo style house and even on the hottest days (we stayed end of July) the trullo stayed cool at night. We enjoyed being immersed completely in nature. There were a large variety of colorful butterflies, little lizards, and beautiful birds that made our stay even more pleasant. It was wonderfully peaceful stay and we will definitely return if we have the chance!! You do need a car to explore the beautiful towns. We did venture into Ceglie Messapica (super charming, eat at Vox popevli and Cibus if you go) Alberobello, and Cisternino (go early to Zio Pietro an amazing rosticceria, they don’t take reservations, but amazing food) We planned to visit the beaches often, but only went one day because we much preferred the amazing pool! Cannot stress how beautiful the pool and surrounding space is! It was an amazing unique stay! I highly recommend this trullo!
