Saint Lucia Trullo is simply beautiful! Located in the midst of miles of olive trees, as far as the eye can see, near Ostuni, the trullo itself is situated in a gorgeous organic garden with lavender, cactus plants, rosemary and, of course, olive trees. The swimming pool area is clean with several sunbeds.
We were really impressed with the interior and decor of the trullo: rustic-themed, wooden furniture, neutral colours- a truly peaceful feel inside. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery, crockery, a dishwasher and utensils, as well as some basic key ingredients for home cooking (which were really handy!). There is a washroom located outside the trullo with a washing machine and drying rack.
With regards to nearby destinations to visit, Alberobello and Polignano are around 45 minutes away.
If you’re worried about the weather being far too hot when indoors- don’t! The inside of the trullo is naturally cool (we slept with the doors and windows closed every night and were still pretty cool). The only thing we found a bit odd were the fact that each room/bathroom has curtains for doors (as you can see from the photos!); this is a feature of trullo houses.
One of the best features of our fantastic retreat were the wonderful co-hosts, Monica and Fred, who were simply wonderful and attentive. Their friendly communication was excellent and they responded to any problems swiftly.
Thanking you so, so much for such a wonderdul first Italian experience! We will certainly be back!
