For us, Lapo’s place was something special. It has history and character and gives a sense of really living in the area. There are so many interesting details (like the fact that his grandmother painted the large tree mural in the main room) and wonderful things about the house.
My wife and I stayed for five days early in April, and we were the first guests of the year. Lapo was incredibly friendly and generous in showing us around the grounds. It is actually a cluster of stone houses all of which are in his family. We were the only people in the cluster at the time. The place gave us the feeling of remoteness even though town was an easy walk (or a very short drive) away.
We very strongly recommend Lapo’s place for a couple or solo traveler interested in Italian history and a calm, quiet experience. The fixtures are not the newest and the experience is not slick or refined or highly curated. Instead, the place is a historic trullo that conveys what it means to live in such a place.
