This was our first experience of Airbnb and it was truly wonderful. We would not hesitate in recommending this Trulli as the perfect getaway in central Puglia for a family of 2 adults & 2 Children or Romantic couples. It is set in a wonderful walled private landscape of Olive trees, where you can pick Lemons ,caper berries, wild rocket and Almond nuts from the garden & collect fresh eggs from the chickens every morning. The land is a true reflection of Vincenzo 's love for nature and the environment .
At the rear of the Trulli is what we can only describe as a beautiful modern swimming pool, sympathetically designed and complimenting it's location and with temperatures in the high 30's it was an oasis of tranquility for us all.
The design of the Trulli and with electric fans in all rooms allow for a peaceful, cool nights sleep,the interior furnishings as previously mentioned in Ben's review are of traditional Italian design and quality. There is a roof top terrace with amazing views to Grottaglie and the surrounding countryside - watch the amazing sun set from here with a glass of delicious Puglian wine.
Grottaglie is the capital of Italian ceramics production and a must visit is the international famous Nicola Fasano Ceramic Studio, then have lunch or dinner at Bistrot Macchiaviva, run by two sisters. They produce a delicious contemporary take on Puglian cuisine - 5 minutes by car to the ceramic quarter.
Places to visit, Ostuni - the white City, Martina Franca and Alberollo all are relatively close by car ,
Vincenzo was just a perfect host, unobtrusive but warm and friendly. We look forward to returning in the future.
