Without a doubt I can recommend Sonia's trullo. It is a great place both to relax and to use as a home base to discover Puglia. We went there this month, and the fields in the surrounding Valle d'Itria were beautiful, much greener than I expected and full of flowers in bloom. There are some nice small towns nearby to discover, and bigger cities like Bari and Lecce at 75 minutes by car, and Matera at 1h45.

Sonia was a helpful host who provided us with a lot of tips for things to do and places to visit. Her english is very good, which made communicating real easy. Caterina, the lady who takes care of opening the door and showing you around, only speaks Italian. She is all friendly and helpful.

The trullo lies in a quiet area. You will hear mostly birds and wind. A few times a day a small train rolls by in the distance, but don't let that scare you off. Since the house is in the countryside, make sure you know how to cope with some funny little creatures (a sow bug, a centipede) as roommates. They are friendly, especially if you catch them and release them in the garden.
At the moment there are no photo's of the view from the garden. If you miss them, imagine a wide view of trees, fields and hills.
At last, if you go there with four people, realize that you will have to take short showers. The boiler is a little small for four people to all enjoy a warm shower. And it's best to visit this house when the weather's good as it's a bit dark to sit inside the whole day if the weather is not so good.
