Thank you so much to the wonderful hosts of this lovely Air BnB. After booking a holiday extremely last minute (just a few hours before our flight), we were really not sure what to expect, as we didn't have time to properly research. However, we were absolutely delighted to have found this gem of an Air BnB. Despite checking in very late at night (due to our delayed flight), we were very grateful to be greeted by our host, Mauro, who very kindly presented us with a platter of food and baskets of fruit and vegetables/bread, along with a fully stocked fridge and cupboard! This was extremely kind of our hosts, Mauro and Sylvia, and this kindness and generosity continued throughout our stay at the villa.
Mauro and Sylvia really went above and beyond every day, kindly bringing us glasses of wine/limoncello, homegrown cherries, and snacks and even shared with us some of their barbeque. We cannot forget the most delicious homemade focaccia that we will ever eat, which was lovingly made by Sylvia!
As if this kindness wasn't enough, Mauro went the extra mile to very kindly drive us into the local town, Martina Franca and pick us up when we need to get our groceries and dinner, as unfortunately, we were unable to hire a car so last minute.
The hosts were always around when we needed them, for example, when we needed a pump to blow up our lilos! However, they were a very subtle presence and gave us total privacy, unless we needed to contact them.
Mauro was very communicative over WhatsApp and had an excellent arrangement with his daughter who would translate for us from English to Italian, and provide very helpful responses.
Of course, we have to mention the truly beautiful villa with its gorgeous setting, beautiful garden, and wonderful pool. It was truly special to be able to stay in a traditional Italian Trullo, and to be immersed in Italian culture by staying with these wonderful hosts.
Thank you so much for an excellent stay. We would recommend this place to anyone and would love to visit again in the future.
Many thanks, Rosie and Tristan. :-)
