Antonia's cosy Trullo is just how it appears in the photos (with a few minor decor adjustments) and has everything you need to relax and unwind. (Breakfast is extra but we didn't try it so we can't comment.) The setting is fantastically rustic but is still within close reach of Martina Franca with its bars, shops and restaurants. The Trullo is great value for money and we had no complaints at all.
The Trullo is set a bit out of town (in Paretone, right next door to Antonia's house). We thought we'd be okay walking to and from Martina Franca but the route (which is beautiful and just bursting with Trulli) consists of winding country roads with no pavement. So that's a big thing to note when booking. You need to drive to get into town!
Antonia and her husband Francesco went out of their way to help us see Valle d'itria. They kindly drove us from town to the Trullo at arrival and to the train station when we left. They even got us to Locotondo and Alberobello on Easter Monday and spent the afternoon with us, which was extraordinarily kind of them. We're very grateful to them for helping out two non-drivers who don't speak Italian!
Franceso and I communicated using German: his German is very good so any German-speakers will have no issues here. Francesco's spectacular tomato sauce for pasta was also a culinary highlight of our trip to Puglia; it was truly sublime.
Thank you so much to two very considerate hosts, who clearly wanted us to experience the best of Valle d'Itria. Wir wünschen Ihnen und Ihrer Familie viel Glück und Erfolg.
