We spent a fantastic long weekend in Bari exploring most of what was to offer in the area.
The property is off the beaten track and located within reasonable driving distance from most places - 45 mins from the airport, 25 mins from Polignano, 15 mins from the Grotte di Castellana, 20 mins from Alberobello.
We arrived and were met by Mariano and Antonella, both of whom were very welcoming. They showed us around the property which was cosy and you couldn't get a more authentic Trullo. Tastefully renovated a few years ago, it had everything we needed. Our hosts provided a fully stocked fridge with milk, juices, water, local beers and a basket full of breakfast goodies.
The bed was extremely comfortable in the studio area and extra bedding was provided for the chillier nights - we are English and brought the rain with us the first day.
The bathroom was lovely and had everything we needed in terms of toiletries and fluffy towels. Our only criticism (minor one) is that we found the shower wasn't hot all the time. We can only suspect this is because this was either run off a timer or was solar powered.
The outside area was delightful. We didn't get to sit outside much or use the pool as we arrived at a particularly unusual time when the weather was unsettled and averaged 22c across the 4 days during the daytime.
We would highly recommend staying at Mariano's and Antonella's for a truly authentic experience!
