The photos just do not make clear how great this place is. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Puglia.
Pros:
- The setting is pastoral, quiet, relaxing. And the location is excellent -- central for everyplace we went in Puglia: Ostuni, Lecce, Brindisi, Manduria, Bari, Alberobello... all are between 20 and 60 minutes away.
- The pool is great for a cool dip in the heat of the day, big enough for lap swimming, and there is little machine (essentially a water Roomba) running at the bottom of the pool 24/7, so it stays relatively clean.
- The grounds are lush and impeccably maintained.
Cons: none
FYIs:
- This is the countryside, so if you love the countryside you'll love this place. Birds chirping, the rustle of the wind through the trees, tiny frogs hopping across the lawn at night, a couple of very cute (and very shy) small dogs that show up from time to time. Yes a few bugs will inevitably sneak their way into the trullo - again, this is the countryside.
- We stayed in one of the large trullos; I'm not sure how the smaller ones compare.
Summary: We were very happy we selected this place and will definitely choose it again for our next trip to Puglia. Thank you Loredana!
