When we arrived we waited a few minutes for the owners to come and follow us from the train station. We got to the trullo and managed to figure out how everything works, given the language barrier. We we very hungry from travel, but had to go about 20 minutes to the nearest town to get a pizza. The trullo was VERY cold. We built a fire and turned on the "heater". By the middle of the night, it was somewhat what warm. This wasn't ideal at all for children, as there are breakables everywhere. Our one year old tripped on the stones and knocked over a beautiful pot, which set us back another 50 EU. The next day we tried to use the stove to cook dinner and it had no propane left in it. The beds were very comfortable, and they left us bottled drinking water. The grounds were gorgeous!!! Grass and orchards and flowers. Very relaxing! The kids loved the yard and hammock. Overall it was a pretty good experience. Next time we would probably stay somewhere a little more kid friendly and closer to the beaches and shops. I would recommend this to adult travelers looking to explore the Ceglie Messapica area and those wanting to get away from it all.We bought olive oil and wine locally just by driving down the road, which was a real treat! Also, if you do travel with kids there is a zoo safari that we really enjoyed about 30 minutes away.
