We had a magnificent stay at Trullo Colomba. First of all the property is beautiful. Set at the end of a long dirt road off a small local road, when you come to the Trullo it is like you’ve entered an oasis. We were warmly greeted and found the house to be very clean, well-stocked and looking even better than it did in photos.
The Trullo is beautifully restored capturing the best of old and new worlds. Every detail is well thought out and there were lovely touches such as fresh flowers in each room and a basket of local ingredients including fresh olive oil made from the property’s olives.
There was a very detailed guide from the owner with everything from instructions for the house to local
restaurants, beaches, markets, delicacies and points of interest.
There were fig, citrus, almond and pomegranate trees along with a lovely herb garden and a vegetable garden all at our disposal.
The pool was beautiful and we made good use of the outdoor seating areas along with the pizza oven. We enquired about a cooking lesson and the caretakers recommended a local
chef who came to the house and did a wonderful class on local dishes for our whole group.
We didn’t really ever want to leave, but ventured out to see charming local towns, beaches and wineries. Distances are far in Puglia, so a car is a must. Most points of interest are 20 to 120 minutes away, so we did a lot of driving. That said, the location is centrally located in Puglia so is ideal for travel both north and south and is only about 20 minutes away from the lovely town of Ostuni. Groceries, fruit, vegetables, cheeses and meats can be easily obtained in the small local town of San Michelle, about 5-10 minutes by car.
All in all, this was an incredible experience that I would recommend wholeheartedly. The only downside was that we had to leave.
