Trulli Il Castagno is a great place to spend holidays.
It is located on a small hill with a great view. The place is very quiet, at night there is nothing to disturb silence, you can hear only few cicadas.
The place has a few separated "flats", if you can call it this way, I think four, but inside the flat you don't hear the neighbours and outside is designed in a way that patios are basically separted. Pool and childrens' playground are nice.
Flat was very clean and well maintained. It is not huge, but we had enough space for two adults and three children.
Kitchen is well equipped.
The best part is a vegetable garden with tomatoes, aubegines, peppers and herbs - you can make a few steps, collect what you need and go back to the kitchen to cook a lunch.
The other great idea is a dinner, prepared by the hosts, composed of local dishes accompained with home-made wine and liquors. It is not free, but worth spending a few euros. Food was great.
Giorgio was a great host, very hospitable. He gave us some advice about places in the neighbourhood. He speaks English very well, which is not usual for Italians :-)
You certainly need a car to travel to intresting places in the area. Arbelobello, Locorotondo and Grottaglie (ceramiche!) are great small cities in a close distance worth seeing. There are some beaches on Ionian See and Adriatic See coast worth visiting, its 30min - 1.30 min. by car. Acquazurra Parc is great for children, approx. 1h drive. We've spent there a week, but feel like we've seen only a small part of the area.
Trulli Il Castagno is one of the best places we've stayed during our holiday trips.
