We were seven friends, 3 couples and a single. Paul and I went to Naples first and then drove by hire car to the villa. It is in a beautiful spot. The outside space is fantastic with a superb pool, one of the best we have used in a rental property. We love cooking using local ingredients and everything we needed was in the kitchen (except the hidden toaster so we bought another one!). The pizza oven was a great hit. The bedroom accommodation was more than satisfactory, as described but do read the information about local flora and fauna to avoid getting bitten. The housekeepers Martin and Sharron were brilliant; the villa was clean and well maintained, but we were without water for 48 hours- a long story involving hornets, faulty electrical panel, a defunct pump and delightful Italian workmen who left an outside tap running which emptied the just refilled cistern. Martin and Sharron were stars sorting it out as quickly as they could. thank goodness we had the swimming pool!!! We visited the beach at Lido Bizzarro (great beach not crowded when we were there as off season), Martina Franca (great market), Matera (stunning), Locorotondo(charming), Alberbello (touristy but fascinating), Lecce (historic) and of course Ceglie (good supermarkets and a pasticceria to die for!). We had a lovely meal at Cibus in Ceglie (recommended for meat fans) and drank copious amounts of lovely wine purchased in various places. The welcome pack included 5 litres of local red wine which was delicious; thank you. All in all we loved it and recommend this villa for a great family holiday.

We couldnt believe that we had all this to ourselves, it was awesome...the trullo was just as it was described. If anything better..it was so peaceful and having relaxing. The kids loved the pool and we had everything we needed..(inc some great wine). We are thinking of booking again for next year. Thanks for a great holiday.

As we drove up the private drive on that beautifully sunny day I just knew wed picked the right place for a quite, peaceful and totally chilled-out holiday. When we pulled up at the Trullo it looked amazing and the kids didnt take long to jump into the very inviting swimming pool. The Trullo had everything we needed and once the kids got used no wi-fi (and we found the local internet cafe 10 mins drive away!) the facilities were well used. A great selection of DVDs which kept them entertained in the heat of the midday sun and the Table Tennis Table which we had outside was well-used too. This just left the adults to chill-out on the sunbeds round the pool in lovely weather and stunning surroundings. We did venture out too and the surrounding towns of Martina Franca and Celglie were lovely as were our days trips out to Oustuni and Monopoli. All in all a lovely holiday in a lovely part of the world and great value for money.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Trullo Montedoro. It is a truly amazing place, even better than the description on this site. It is so quiet you can hear planes flying over at 30,000 ft! It is the best equipped holiday home, we have ever stayed in! The pizza oven is brilliant- a real family bonding experience- making our own pizzas!The pool is fantastic- we used it a lot, but also visited several local towns for sightseeing. We ate every day outside, even in the heat of the day, the covered area was lovely. It was great fun watching the swifts drinking from the pool, trying to outdo each other! And stargazing at night- we saw 2 shooting stars, and 2 satellites in orbit. The Italians are so welcoming- we went to various local restaurants- and the food just kept coming! The couple who welcomed us, were full of information, and were quick to give advice when we needed it. Will definitely think about booking again next year. Thanks for giving us a superb, relaxing holiday, in a stunning setting!
