We just returned from a 10 day stay at this unique trullo and loved it! The trullo itself is beautifully renovated and the garden with its outdoor kitchen, covered terrace, views on to the olive grove and lighting by night makes for a very special place.
The communication with Pietro was great throughout, he was very responsive and went above and beyond to help us. We have two young children and he was happy to provide a cot bed, high chair, etc - much appreciated! Francesco was at the trullo to great us on arrival and was helpful throughout as well. He speaks only Italian but that was not a problem. We were fortunate enough to meet Pietro and his wife Mariella in person on our last night - thank you once again for your family’s hospitality.
Location wise, the trullo is secluded at the end of the road so no passing traffic. It is a few minutes drive from San Michele where there are some nice restaurants and gellaterias. Don’t believe we saw any other tourists in the town for our whole stay - wonderful! Pietro and Francesco had left a very helpful document with plenty of tips for local sights, eateries and shops (e.g. supermarket, butcher, dairy farm, etc). The location was also a great base for us to explore the surrounding area - Ostuni, Lecce, beaches on both coasts, Grottaglie, and Ceglie.
We also really enjoyed the organic olive oil Pietro and his family produce - delicious and fascinating to hear the story behind it from an olive oil sommelier!
