Mariano is an excellent host! He made every effort to meet us upon our arrival, then gave us a great summary of the local area. The accommodation is very special in that it is an authentic trulli, a round, one-room structure with thick walls and beautiful arches within. Everything that you really need is present in this space and anything else is easily found in the surrounding shops and cafes. It is located a few feet away from a fresh fruit stand and a grocery store, so that was really excellent. There is no internet within the trulli, but there is a cafe nearby that has free wi-fi.
Being an authentic trulli, this is not the place for long, leisurely hot showers, but there is plenty of hot water for 2 to take a shower in the morning, as Mariano explained in his introduction. I was very impressed with Mariano's responsiveness to us when we needed the LP tank refilled and the trash emptied- it all happened immediately. Great service, a cozy, romantic, authentic dwelling and superb location- highly recommended.
