We went as a couple for an escape week in the Italian countryside. The location feels out in the sticks but is actually only 20 minutes into Martina. The Trulli houses are unique and quirky, the only downside are the small windows which limit light and ventilation, but as long as you go prepared for this they are fine. Tall people may find the arches a bit annoying! Limited cooking facilities mean you need to keep catering simple but it is fun to go back to basics.
Car is totally essential so evening meals out with just the one alcoholic drink needs to be considered, as for some this will be a spoiler. The local towns offer a range although not a huge number of places to eat out. The pool and grounds are amazing, with plenty of places to sit and relax. The general ambience is VERY quiet which suited us but may not be to everyone's taste. Great for quiet book reading, sun bathing and quiet outdoor eating, but not a noisy place at all.
Supermarkets are good but don't expect an ASDA range of stuff. Again, keep it simple and be flexible.
Wayfinding is OK with GPS or GoogleMaps but the road signs are variable, and the labyrinth of rural lanes staggering! In the dark you will get lost if you don't know where you are going. Lanes are narrow and very bumpy.
Given that a car is essential, my final bit of advice is that the local drivers are very fast, carefree and without much anticipation. No one indicates! We saw many people driving without seat belts, children on passengers laps in the front, drivers on their 'phones, and shockingly bad driving by UK standards. This coupled with roads without markings and variable signage means driving in the area is hairy at best but quite dangerous for a less experienced or younger driver.
The towns are on a grid iron street pattern, so many more 90 degree cross roads than the UK, and there seems to be no real right of way. Giving way to the right seemed to work, but we had quite a few very near misses. You could easily get into an argument in the car, especially when trying to find your way in the heat! We got on OK but it's something that could become an issue if you don't drive confidently and carefully. Apart from this, a fantastic place to escape.
