This is a really nice Trullo at a good price, but with some unfortunate shortcomings which keep it from earning 4 or 5 stars. On the positive side, it’s a beautiful building and clean inside. The staff who checked us in and out were wonderful and communicating was easy. It’s conveniently located to Putignano which is a cool little town to explore. But there were several small things that made our stay uncomfortable. These would be easy for the owner to correct, so hopefully they will do so. The yard surrounding the trullo was overgrown with weeds including throughout the driveway, so when you walk to and from your car you are walking through weeds. It seems at one point it was much better kept. There is an annoyingly elaborate series of locks and keys that you must deal with each time you come and go. Both showers leak and cause the bathroom floors to literally flood with water. There is a strange smell throughout, something similar to farm animals or ammonia. Lastly, for some reason the owner refuses to give you the ability to control the AC and they have it locked with a master control. We asked that they unlock, which they did for a couple hours, and then they locked it again and refused to unlock for the remainder of the trip. So beware when you read that this trullo has AC, because it’s not exactly accurate. In summary, this is a really cool trullo at a good price, but with several shortcomings which take away from the overall experience.
