The pictures of the trullo are great, and they were the reason that we chose to stay here. However, they can't actually capture the wonderful essence of the place.

You pull up to a modern automatic gate, when it opens you see tons of olive trees, beautiful flowers, and the most amazingly restored trullo. Everything about the place is perfection. From the remarkable host, Isa, who helped us with everything. She is clearly such a kind-hearted person, and I wish that we had more time to get to know her. To the inside of the house where everything was so fabulously designed, the perfect mixture of old and new. To the amazing grounds, where when we got hungry we would go outside and pick the most delicious cherries.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and plan on it. In fact, if it was for sale I would have wanted to buy it- furniture and all.

One thing to know, you must rent a car. It is too far from Ostuni, but not having a car in this area would be a shame- there is too much to see!
