What a wonderful stay at Il Carrubo! We were looking for a relaxing place where we could recharge batteries, swim, sun bathe and enjoy everything Puglia has to offer. What we experienced ended up being even better!
Indoor space
Overall the unique trulli home was beautiful and well decorated. The stone walls allowed for protection from the heat and the AC allowed us to sleep very comfortably.
As a family of 5 with 3 young girls, the 2 bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us.
There wasn’t a lounge area indoor, but we spent the majority of our time outside.
The kitchen was well stocked, but missed some utensils like a spatula and BBQ utensils for the amazing stone BBQ outside!
The bathrooms were great and the large shower made things easy for washing 3 little ones after a day at the beach. The other shower water pressure wasn’t great but we never really used it.
Note: beaches are easily accessible and as close as a 25 min drive.
You will find Lidos which allow you to pay for sunchairs and sunbrellas for the day and usually have access to a restaurant. We also loved the local beaches which are free! Suggest Spiagge di Savelletri.
Outdoor space.
Amazing. Wonderful! Breath taking. We absolutely loved the outdoor space. The pool was fantastic with great lounging chairs and a swinging hammock. We loved the heated outdoor shower which was a nice option on windy days!
The view was a fantastic unexpected addition as you overlook the valley of orchards, grape vines, trulli and Maseria homes. We certainly enjoyed the beautiful sunsets on this amazing backdrop.
I already mentioned the BBQ which was awesome but the eating space was even better as it is well covered with curtains and lighting for the evening. Note: mosquitos made their presence known at times…easily managed with citronella coils.
Location
The location of the Trulli was perfect for us…we had a lot of space, tranquility and were 5 min from a good local grocery store (Le Vele), 10 minutes from the quaint small towns of Alberobello, Martina Franca, and Locarotondo (our favorite).
Nunzia and her daughter were fantastic hostesses and very responsive to the few requests that we made through our main contact Angela who we communicated with through WhatsApp.
Highly recommend this beautiful Trulli home. We would love to stay here again!
