The property offered us plenty of space. The outdoor areas enabled us to enjoy the sun or shelter in the shade from its heat. The villa is secluded which gave us privacy. A car is essential as there are no facilities in walking distance. We found our stay very restful.

The house is tiny but very nice, located in a beautiful natural area close to the historic town of Cisternino where you can find nice restaurants and a pleasant atmosphere. However it is not fit for a summer stay when the outside temperature can reach 40 degrees C, since there is no AC in the bedrooms. We had to purchase powerful fans to ensure some hours of sleep in those very warm conditions.

We were unfortunate enough to experience several days of cold wet weather in May. The Villa, as beautiful as it is, really is designed for warm weather. There is heating in one room, but the bedrooms were very cold and the internal seating areas were not that relaxing. Ive informed the manager that adding some duvets in the property would be great incase this happens again for other guests. It's a real shame as the external facilities to the property were great. Devastated that we never got to use the pool or sit and have our diner outside. It's very secluded, surrounded by wildflower. Perfect if you want peace and quiet. The owner, and young guy that managed the property, Mattia were very nice and helpful. Would recommend this villa to others.

We stayed for a week at the end of September, beginning of October and it was delightful. Angelita was very welcoming and full of recommendations and met us in town to bring us to the house (the road there is a little tricky but not unlike other villas we have rented in the Mediterranean). The house was just as nice as in the photos and fully equipped! Very private location but easy access to beautiful small towns nearby. We spent most of our time by the pool or on the terrace near the kitchen. Would 100% recommend.

This property gave us and our two children (9 & 12) everything we could have wanted for a fabulously relaxed and peaceful summer break. Every detail has been well thought through - from relaxed outdoor seating areas poolside and nearer to the house, to styling of furnishings to complement the amazing architectural heritage of this property. The grounds give privacy and a true feeling of being amidst your own surroundings. Location-wise the property definitely requires a car to be accessed, but is just a short drive from Casalini where everyday essentials can be purchased (great pizzeria too!). The larger town of Cisternino is just a 10 minute drive and serves for practicalities of larger supermarket shopping, but is a real gem of a town... its narrow streets of Centro Storico make for wonderful timeless meanders (super restaurants and gelateria too!). Stay - you won’t be disappointed!!

A beautiful Trulli in a beautiful location, with loads of stunning towns very closeby. Trulli di Sopra is a fantastic blend of style, character, comfort and nature. There local ceramic, Skandi soft furnishings, and all the practical things you need to have an easy stay (we don't go on holiday looking for dishwashers, washing machines and coffee makers but having them makes a holiday with kids soooo much easier). I loved the natural location down a dusty track, with lovely views across the valley. We had some fantastic days out: amazing dolphins and whales watching in taranto, stunning caves in Grotte di Castellana, great beaches in Lizzano, beautiful towns Ostuni, Monopoly, Polginano di Mare, and most locally - Cisternino. All these trips were less than 1hr15 away by car along good roads. the Trulli is very attractive, clean, and very easy to stay at and well supported by Angelitta and the cleaners/maintenance. The weather was fantastic and Puglia has loads going for it, great place!

We had such a lovely stay at Trullo di Sopra. The house has everything you need (comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, enough closet space, etc). We also really liked the decor - very nice pillows and tableware. There is plenty of space outside to sit and chill, and enjoy the views and the smells (lavender!). Our teenagers loved to hang out on the roof :-) The house is close to a number of picturesque little towns and also just a 30 min. drive to the sea. We can recommend a day trip to Otranto and Lecce (and a stop in between at Alimini beach for a swim). Polignano a Mare is a beautiful sea side town on a high cliff with great views over the Adriatic. We liked the beach north of Il Capitolo and can recommend the Lido Sabbiadoro. Last but not least, we joined a tour Angelita (who looks after the house) gave at the local olive mill and can highly recommend that as well. We´d love to come back - thank you so much Nina and Angelita!

We stayed at the smaller of the two trulli, Sopra, in mid September. The property is very pretty, well equipped and it is clear the owner puts in an effort to make it so. We stayed as a couple so had loads of space but both bedrooms are ensuite which would work well for a family or two couples. Internally perhaps the most obvious thing lacking is a proper living room- there is basically a space between the two bedrooms set aside for this, beyond the very attractive kitchen/dining area, but we didn't use it as such. That said, you are much more likely to be 'living outdoors' and these spaces were excellent, a large shaded area around the pool, a really delightful shaded lounge and dining area just outside the kitchen door and a table and chairs out the front which we sometimes used for a 'sunshine breakfast'. In September it is dark by 7pm and for a few days didn't use the outside lounge/dining area in the evening but once we discovered how good the outside lighting was, including some nice and atmosheric touches illuminating some nearby trees, we found it a great option for dinner. The trullo is quite isolated, some way from the nearest village (i.e not realistic walking distance) and therefore very quiet but the price for that was quite a lengthy drive up a very bumpy, unpaved road. On balance we found that well worthwhile for the tranquility, but it does add some time to getting in and out the property. There is plenty to see and do locally; the sea is less than half an hour away, you are in trulli country so lots of nice towns nearby and even medieval Lecce is not much more than an hour away. We did some sightseeing but less than usual, because we found the trullo such a lovely place to be around during the day, relaxing, reading and cooling off in the pool. I'd recommend arranging a visit to the olive oil producer through Angelita, who looks after the property for the owner- she actually works there and gave a great insight into how virgin oilve oil is produced. The tour is free but you can buy a bottle or two at the end. Angelita is also very helpful in dealing with any minor issue you may have during your stay. You are in food country here, so no shortage of restaurants; Cortiletto in Speziale (about 20 mins drive) was especially good, very reasonably priced and suggested by the owner. Best supermarket is Famiglia in Osuni- about 20-25 mins drive but we thought worth it for the choice and quality. All in all a very relaxing stay.

I stayed with my family in August 2016 for amazing weeks. The trulli is in a stunning rural location but only a short walk from a small village or a short 5 minute drive from the local town. It has been beautifully renovated and provided everything we needed. We pretty much lived outside using the BBQ and outside lounge in the evening. We spent many a night star gazing and watch satellites and shooting stars overhead creating many magical memories with our two young daughters. The pool is amazing and the girls would play in it all day long. The surrounding towns are stunning and offer plenty of opportunities for foodies. The beaches are amazing but can get very busy during peak season. If you go early in the week you can avoid the crowds that you get at the weekends. All in all we had a perfect stay and I would highly recommended this property for a relaxing family break.

When you pass by the Red Water Ranch you get to the trullo. Everything is as you expect. Angelita, the local contact who already met you at the arranged meeting point is very nice and have a lot of knowledge. Having her on WhatsApp was a very easy way of always having first hand knowledge at hand. The inside of the trullo was nice and clean, and to our enjoyment there was a nice weclome gift of Prosecco and also coffee, and some Italian snack. Just perfect! Even when the outside temperature had reached 37 degrees Celsius we didn't need to use the AC in the evening, as the trullo got a very nice temperature when you just opened the windows. All windows have mosquito net, so no problems letting the air inside. The surrounding area is just olive trees. The outside of the trullo is nicely done with a lot of furniture to use. The pool area is just amazingly nice, and here you can decide if you like to get a real tan, or stay in the shadows. The pool size is perfect for a family of 4, and not too deep, making the kids feel safe. This made the kids enjo the pool to the maximum. If you get bird by the pool, it's not a long drive to the nearest beach. We also went to the Zoosafari in Fasano, where you can have a nice day of fun with the kids. We can also recommend to get a tour at the olive mill with Angelita, very interesting, and again; Angelita is a perfect guide with all the knowledge you need. We stayed for two weeks, but time past by too fast. Very happy and we can recommend this as a very nice spot for a relaxing and joyful vacation. Arrivederci!
