If you are looking for a place to lounge by the pool all day (the pool is stunning) or for a launching pad to explore Puglia or if you've always wanted to live in the midst of some ancient olive trees, this is your place. Our family of four stayed here a month and loved it. The pool (and the whole yard/outdoor seating areas) are GREAT. They have nice lounge chairs and tables and a wonderful old (I mean older than America old) olive tree to sit under. We spent most of time outside (in part because there is no ac... but the climate of Ceglie is generally dry and windy so it wasn't that bad even on the hottest days). From the rooftop (you can go up there) we saw spectacular sunsets and sunrises. The yard is also full of fruit trees. The caretakers are super thoughtful/helpful, but they don't speak a word of English, so have Google Translate ready on your phone! They picked a bunch of figs, and we made fig preserves. (When we first arrived they gave us a bottle of extra virgin olive oil pressed from the trees at the house!) The house is quite big for 4 people. We all had a ton of space. The trullo portion of the house is so magical, but not super practical as it has no windows and no door seperating it from the rest of the house. There are two full baths and a very large living room with a big TV and a foosball table, which the kids loved (though it got a bit loud for the parents). Tap water is not safe to drink, so you must drive to the end of the road to fill 5 and 10 liter jugs for drinking. We got used to it. Also, you must walk or drive your trash to the shared dumpster. Again, not hard, just different. Ceglie was surprising. It's the best little town we'd never heard of. The old town was rather nice, the selection of restaurants was good, and there always seemed to be a concert or festival or something fun happening in the main piazza. Location-wise, we were able to make a ton of day trips to Alberobello, Lecce, Ostuni, Locorotondo, Taranto, Monopoli, Cisternino, and a few of the best beaches in Italy. (Don't miss Lecce. The hiking around Cisternino is fantastic. Also, the beaches at Punto Prosciutto are worth the drive.) Everything is within an hour or so drive. On Saturday mornings in town is a large market with fresh fruits, veggies, cheeses, meats, clothing and household goods. We went each of our 4 Saturdays there and not only saved money on the grocery bill, but had fresher delicious produce. The supermarket DOK is an 8 minute drive (you really do need to have a car! I will add that bicycles are provided and they even had the right sizes for our 11 and 9 year old) and has everything you need. We even bought the kids rafts for the pool at DOK. We also went to Pam supermarket which is as close and quite large. There is a good sized washing machine and the weather will have your laundry nearly dry before you finish hanging it. We were certainly spoiled here, compared to other Airbnb's, with the electric kettle, microwave, toaster, easy stovetop and oven, and larger refrigerator. Also, plastic kid dishes made it easy to eat snacks by the pool. I could probably go on and on, but know that you will be very comfortable staying here and will enjoy a wonderful, peaceful holiday.
