Trullo Harmony is a slice of heaven. We instantly fell in love and felt at home in the villa. The trullo is situated in the Puglian countryside but only a few miles from Cisternino. The location is perfect as we had the best of both worlds; seclusion ( and the peace and relaxation which comes with it) and only a short drive from a supermarket, train station and the beautiful white washed historic centre of Cisternino.
If you can be tempted away from the trullo, Cisternino has fantastic restaurants and really quirky bars and cafes....check out Giardina36, Micro and Il Cucco.
But...back to the trullo. The inside is stylish, clean and comfortable and well stocked with beautiful crockery and glassware. It is kitted out with everything you need to prepare meals and I urge you to take advantage of the local organic (bio) vegetables and freshly caught seafood and fire up the BBQ and enjoy dinning on one if three outside dinning areas at the Trullo. Also, the grounds of the trullo are adorned with large rosemary and sage bushes and lemon and pomegranate trees. Fresh herbs and fruit on the doorstep!!!
The trullo is a great base to explore Puglia, from here you can drive to nearby Ostuni, Alberobello and Locorotondo. Also, you can get into the highway and travel with ease to Leece, Gallipoli and Poliganano a Mare.... all recommended. It is less than one hours drive from Brindisi airport.
The trullo is also a great spot for a relaxing afternoon by the pool.
Caterina is a great host. Commication was smooth and prompt. Caterina made sure we were hooked up with her man on the ground, Ricardo who showed us how to initially find the secluded trullo and came to clean the pool and change the bedlinen / towels during our stay.
It was with a very heavy heart that we left Trullo Harmony but we made such great memories here which will stay with us and hopefully one day we will return.
Thank you Caterina and Richardo for looking after us and for a wonderful experience.
Ps...I read a previous Airbnb review before my visit which mentions security cameras and am pleased to confirm there are no cameras at the trullo...I think the reviewer had mistaken the sensors for the alarm system for cameras !
