Unless we’re very much mistaken it would appear to be a swimming pool. All in place and waiting for the final sign off from the Comune at Martina Franca. We’re assured that unless we hear otherwise by the end of January that we’re good to go. Consequently we have begun the process of listing Trullo Genista on the main holiday rental sites so that we can begin taking bookings for the beginning of May.
We will be begin the final leg of the building work beginning of February to be properly ready for then. The outside kitchen barbecue area will have a bamboo-style roof to provide some shade and a fridge for keeping the drinks and food cool while guests are cooking. As can be seen from the photograph here it is all ready to go but needs the addition of some cover. We will also be landscaping the pool area with the addition of some plants and bringing in the standard pool furniture such as loungers and umbrellas etc.
With that, the process to get Genista ready for rental will be complete but only as far as phase 1 is concerned. We still have massive plans for improving the trullo further but after three years of waiting the priority right now is to start getting guests through the door. We’ll be continuing updates via this blog so that those who have booked can feel reassured that all the work will be complete by the time they come over.
It’s nice to finally feel 100% confident this will be the case now given the journey we have been on to get here. Hopefully you are reading this and thinking of coming.
