An oasis in Trulli valley
The best place to relax we have ever had. Almost nothing wrong. Only the late check-in from 16:00 and early check-out till 10:00.

The location, the pretty, picturesque and very well-equipped house, the swimming pool with a breathtaking view, the calm and the very welcoming hosts who were at our service instantly. You can go there without hesitation.

Dream stay in a typical Puglian setting.
Quality service in an enchanting setting. Nature, olive trees, swimming pool, summer kitchen… Spacious and comfortable rooms, modern bathrooms and a functional kitchen combining modernity and old-world charm. Breakfasts in the morning sun, what a joy, surrounded by birdsong. Perfect location for visiting this wonderful part of Puglia.. and knowledgeable and pleasant host.

Stunning
Large accommodation with a trullo section (2 bedrooms) and an added section (kitchen, 1 bedroom with private bathroom), huge grounds with distant views of the countryside, no overlooking, beautiful swimming pool, plenty of parking, summer kitchen (not used at the end of April) with barbecue. The rooms are spacious, the beds are good, the kitchen is well equipped (missing a microwave), there are even non-perishable leftovers from previous guests (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, alcohols). Lots of little details proving the attention paid to customers. Very quiet.
The hot water is not working properly (inconsistent flow and temperature). We’ve had some problems with the heating, but I don’t know if it’s not working properly or if I’m just being stupid, but in any case it’s complicated to program.

Simply perfect, we will definitely come back!
The location of the trullo is perfect! Located in the heart of Apulia, it offers worthwhile excursions every day! The house with pool is wonderfully equipped and furnished with everything you need.The photos deliver on their promise! The reception was very well organized and friendly. We had a problem with the water on the first day because the well was empty – they reacted, organized and quickly solved it within 5 minutes! The farewell was also friendly and uncomplicated!
The fact that there is a lot of rubbish lying around in the area is not related to the accommodation! Unfortunately, that’s due to us humans. not all of whom are able to properly dispose of their own waste or even avoid it altogether.

Beautiful Trulli
This is our third visit to Puglia and this is our favourite property we have stayed in. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Great location with 3 beautiful towns a ten minute drive away (Locorotondo was our favourite). The aircon worked very well and the pool is an ample size. Communication with the owner Simon and with puglia pools who look after the property was great. I would stay here again and recommend to others.
Wifi was patchy but this maybe due to it being in a rural location.

I found this house by reading the owners’ blog about the construction and I was waiting for it to be available for rent. The renovation in the Italian style required a lot of patience. The house looks even better in person! The rental service is top notch! This is the quintessence of the Apulian Valle d’Itria!

Perfect stay for us. Recommend to families or groups.
Fabulous Villa set around the original Trullo. Excellent facilities inside and outside. Pool and BBQ areas fantastic and we took full advantage of the fine weather. Close to coast and towns. Couldn’t fault anything.

Superb trullo!
Thanks to Simon for this superb Trullo! We had a fantastic 10 days there! The comfort, the amenities, the pool, the location, the view, the setting, everything is perfect. Special mention also goes to the “Puglia Pools” team, who were very responsive and competent. For your information, the air conditioning works in both bedrooms; it was probably repaired after a previous tenant complained about it. Thanks again, Simon!

Lovely stay in a gorgeous house
Beautiful trullo with a great pool. Very scenic location with several lovely towns nearby to explore.
Fridge space was very limited which meant we needed to shop every other day (for our family of 5) and no freezer available which we really missed. Air conditioning was great in the main bedroom but in the other bedroom it didn’t seem to cool the room at all.
(Message from the owner: As a result of this guest’s comments which we thought were valid, we installed a new air conditioning unit in the second bedroom and a large fridge freezer in the kitchen.)

Magnificent Trullo in the Puglia region
Superb Trullo typical of the region, ideally located between Alberobello and Locorotondo. Quiet location, fully equipped, with a magnificent swimming pool with no overlooking neighbors. A moment of tranquility for a relaxing holiday.
Nothing wrong. There is everything you need. Very well equipped.
