Lucia is a real hero for me. Usually I would write about the property, check-in, helpfulness of the host but Lucia showed that she was not only a great host but also what a great friend she is in 2 moments of extreme need.
Within 2 days of my arrival i went down with influenza that lasted 2 weeks of my 3 week stay. Lucia contacted the local hospital/doctors and repeatedly helped me get the advice and correct medications that i needed. Thank you Lucia.
But the second moment saved the life of my parrot, Jasper. Due to being bed-ridden with the influenza Jasper was, most unusually, in his travel cage for prolonged periods. When i let him out of his cage he found a way out of the Trulli and i saw him flying off. Having no Italian i contacted Lucia who immediately came over and started contacting the appropriate police department. Lucia also mobilised the neighbours who went and looked in their olive groves. Just when i thought i had lost him forever a neighbour appeared with a photo of Jasper sat in a olive tree. Jasper was safely reunited with me. I cannot thank you enough Lucia and all the kind neighbours who helped a total stranger.
So after all this drama what can i tell you about the Trulli - it is accurately described and Lucia makes you so welcome on arrival with so much food and gifts. The Trulli is quite cool even in high 30s temperatures. Everything needed for a successful stay is at hand. I would really highly recommend Lucia and her property - sufficient to say that i plan to return next year when i hope to buy a property in the Puglia region.
