We had a great time at Trullo Lavanda. Anna and her family were very welcoming and helpful - Anna was out of town when we arrived but her sister came to meet us in Cistenrnino and we followed her out to the house on the small country roads. It would not be easy to find on your own, so it was very nice that they came to meet us in town! The house was perfect - clean and well-equipped with all the necessities, including coffee and breakfast. It was quite hot on our first day there, but there was a fan, and it cooled off nicely at night and the windows were screened so you could air out the house without getting bugs. We loved sitting out on the terrace with a glass of wine in the evenings, surrounded by grape vines, fruit trees, and olive trees. Really relaxing and beautiful. The location is a good central base for visiting the towns of the area - Alberobello, Martina Franca, and Locorotondo are all within a short drive. It's also quite easy to get to the Adriatic coast - we visited Polignano a Mare one afternoon and it was only about a 40 minute drive. I would recommend renting a car - it would be possible to get to Cisternino via train, but you'll be better able to explore the surrounding area with a car.
