Maria Antonietta is a very gracious host, she was very quick to respond to e-mail and easy to communicate with. Due to a car accident on the main road thru Bari we arrived at least 30 minutes later than anticipated, Maria Antonietta was waiting for us. The next day she brought over some pastries and cake she baked herself, very nice touch. Her English is quite good. Staying in her "trullo" was a new experience for us and quite interesting.. We definitely recommend this place as a base for touring around to Alberobello, Locorotondo and just riding around the country.
