This place is wonderful!! My stay at Antonia's trullo was a one-of-a-kind experience that I will always treasure. She and her family showed me such generous hospitality, helping me get from the train to the home, showing me around the city, and offering to help me out in every possible way. Her niece, Georgana, spoke an impressive amount English and helped translate for us when she was able. She is a gem! I cannot speak highly enough of this family and their beautiful home!
The trullo is located in a very small town and is absolutely charming. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to get away ("off the grid") or if you have your own mode of transportation and want to hop around to as there is no public transportation. Antonia was kind enough to lend me her bicycle, which was such a fun way to see the countryside! The trullo is a brief drive (or 20 min train ride) from Ostuni, Locorontondo, Alberobello, any many more picturesque towns.
I did not have my own transportation but I was intentionally seeking solitude to work on my writing. It was also off-season, so many of the nearby restaurants were closed, but there is a small market within 3 minutes walk from the trullo, so I was able to get food there and cook at the home.
I want to adopt this family, that's how much I loved them. :) I am so blessed to have had my short trip there.
