Laura and Mimmo are the perfect hosts. Easy to find, lovely little room for a couple or couple and child. The pool is a very welcome treat. We were invited to dine with Laura and Mimmo on our last evening in Martina Franca and it was easily the best meal we had in all 18 days spent in Italy. Genuinely great company, I loved listening to Mimmo's stories and good humour. You will need a car to explore beyond the Trullo. Easy access to countless beautiful beaches and a trip to Alberobello is an absolute must. Book the segway guided tour of Alberobello with Allways Puglia, really fun and 100% the best way to see this truly beautiful place.
Ostuni and Martina Franka are right on your doorstep and have the best choice for food and bars. Local wine and food is exceptional, or just for a walk about.
We were advised by Mimo and Laura to visit Torre Guaceto beach (My fav beach in all of Pulgia). Make sure you bring food, drink, sun beds, sun brolly etc with you as there is nothing but beautiful beach, sand dunes and the most beautiful clear aqua marine water. It's a Nature reserve, so you can't park there, €5 a day to park outside and take a little train for free that runs back and forward all day. When you arrive, walk down the beach and keep going until everyone else is left behind, we spent a whole day on our own beach and it was worth the 8mins casual walk.
Laura is very accommodating and her english is perfect, she is warm, inviting and very accommodating. I arrived having never used Airbnb before and was unsure how to behave and she set me at ease. 10/10 for everything in my book. If we return to Puglia, we'll definitely be staying here.
