In the garden there is a swimming pool (apprx: 30/36 sqm ) with a terrace overlooking the valley , equipped with 6 sun loungers/chairs under covered pergolas, where the sun shines from dawn to dusk . The house, garden and outdoor areas are nicely lit so that you can enjoy long summer evenings outdoors. The garden is filled with olive trees and fig trees (just eat straight from the tree in August - figs like you've never tasted them!), pear trees, almond trees and of course hundreds of lavender bushes that give the garden a lovely scent.

We had a great stay with our grown up kids. Nina was very efficient in responding and her guide of places to eat and visit was excellent. The villa is very nicely decorated and has everything you need. The bedrooms were warm as the AC is only in the central area and we did ask for the pool to be cleaned as once a week on a Friday may not be enough! These were small issues and we would certainly recommend the villa.

We want to thank you for a fantastic stay, house and surroundings. We really enjoyed it. Everything worked very well and we got a lot of help and support when needed. We truly recommend our Trulli. The only thing that sometime was a bit unstable was the wifi. We hope to be back in the future. Ciao

Fanastic Trullo, lovely host (Angelita who was exceptional) and owner (Nina, who clearly cared). We were very well looked after and felt valued as guests. The Trullo was everything we expected and hoped for. We have no hesitation in recommending.

Dreamy just a perfect trulli home to stay in it has given us the best experience ever, our host Nina was amazing and easy to talk too, this holiday was booked before covid and I just didn’t think it would ever happen, also Angelita met us late because our flight was delayed and she was a angel and helped us with anything at a drop of a hat, even showed us a restaurant to eat at late because we were all so hungry just so friendly and a comfort to know she was there for us regarding anything. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

We were two families traveling with four kids, the house didn’t at any point feel to small - there was lots of space both indoors and outdoors.
The house and the surroundings are beautiful and very calming, also its close to all the cities you may want to visit.
Both Nina and the local contact Angelita are very friendly and quick to respond when texting.
One night we had a chief over at the house to cook for us, it was a lovely experience.
We would definitely come back any time!

My family and I (husband, 2 boys 13 and 10) had a wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful villa. The villa was immaculately clean, the gardens well kept and we had everything we needed for our weeks stay and really enjoyed our holiday. The pool was clean and there was a net provided which the boys loved fishing out any stray bugs that might have flown in overnight! The internet dropped off a couple of times but we followed the instructions in the welcome pack and were connected back quickly, there is very little phone signal but this did not bother us we were able to make online calls if we needed too.
Location is perfect for exploring by car to all the nearby towns and villages, Alberoberro and Martina Franca were my favourite's however there are so many more lovely places to visit too. We loved it here and would definitely come back.

We had a brilliant week in the villa and could have stayed much much longer. Perfect places to relax and enjoy the countryside. Weather was warm and sunny so made good use of the villa and the amazing pool area. Also plenty of nice towns nearby to go and explore and lots of good restaurants to choose from.
Very good communication with Nina before our arrival and Angelita is absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable about the area.
We will definitely be back again

An amazing charming trulli in the middle of the hills of central Puglia. The house was everything we expected and much more. A perfect central starting point to discover Puglia, not far from beautiful beaches and close to historic villages and cities. On top of that a delightful swimming pool to cool down on warm days.
Angelita, our contact person, was very friendly, helpful with suggestions and always reacted quick on our messages.
We hope to come here again with the whole family and highly recommend this trulli.

Trullo di Sotto, in the hamlet of Casalini, is in a peaceful spot a few minutes drive from the main road. Communication with Nina was good and she was very understanding of the issues we had delaying our arrival due to unforeseen circumstances.
The three bedrooms are spacious, two with en-suites and one with separate bathroom plus there's a dining area, sitting room and tiny kitchen. Ample outdoor space is provided which is pleasant for dining in the heat.
The pool was cleaned once during the week we stayed and that was at my request as it was already dirty when we arrived (it gets cleaned on a Friday and we arrived on Tuesday). The bottom was dirty and the surface continually had leaves and insects floating on it which I'd happily have cleaned out if there had been a net provided. I consider for the price we paid that the pool would've been cleaned more frequently as I too rent a property to guests and the pool is cleaned daily, rubbish collected and gardens watered.
The biggest issue for us was the wi-fi and although the listing states that this is provided via satellite and therefore can't always be guaranteed, what we experienced was a constantly unreliable service that required frequent resetting daily. It was impossible to do any continuous work as it was lost when the wifi went down and the service was barely sufficient for checking emails. This is obviously a known issue as we were advised on check in to "just flip the mains switch" which, as it transpired, we were doing several times a day. The problem wasn't helped by power outages over the first two days which made contacting anyone for assistance difficult as there was no phone signal or internet to try to find out what was happening.
As others have commented, the trullo is extremely hot inside and although fans are provided, the A/C is only in the main kitchen/dining area.
The bathrooms are well equipped however the shower flooded the floor with each use as the shower curtains were insufficient to stop water escaping. Not a major issue but having had a couple of slips, it occurred to me it may be a problem for older people or with kids running around.
The trullo is nicely decorated, the kitchen is equipped with the basics for cooking, the location is good for exploring Puglia and enjoying the beaches and towns.

Fantastic location in an authentic and tastefully renovated Trullo. We loved our stay. WiFi is only weak point probably as location is isolated but I'm sure this will be improved for the future.
