Francesco’s trullo is an absolute gem. I couldn’t recommend it more. Where to start? The trullo itself is adorable and has been decorated in the same style as when Franceso lived there as a child with his family. It was clean, very comfortable and felt like such a treat to be staying in a unique and lovely little home. We really enjoyed making use of the courtyard outside, which has a table and chairs for al fresco dining, a hammock chair and deckchair. The trullo is also surrounded by an orchard of fig, almond, olive and persimmon trees. We loved eating fresh, jammy figs for breakfast!
What really stood out for us, though, was the kindness we received from Francesco and is family. We were greeted with plates of homegrown fruit and cucumber and Franceso’s mum’s risotto. There was also a bottle of prosecco waiting for us in the trullo. Francesco made every effort to make sure we had a great stay, giving us lots of suggestions for places to visit, booking us a restaurant and even very kindly driving us there. We had a lovely final evening having drinks with him and he showed us round his hometown (Martina France - well worth a visit too!). His hospitality really made the holiday!
Thank you for such a great stay, Franceso!
