Visit to Puglia!
Really enjoyed our stay here, the villa is remote, you do need a car, and the roads are quite narrow when first approaching... but once youve navigated the roads a few time they offer little difficulty. The accomodation is charming, rustic but somehow has everything you need, the wifi is exceptional and the pool is a god send in the heat we had. 38 most days!! The villa gives you a true puglian experience, and makes you slow down a bit, long breakfasts by the pool, afternoon swims when the heat was to much and evenings listening to crickets whilst we ate, Our kids loved this place and often went on lizard hunts around the grounds. Places are nearby, castellena 8 minutes drive, alberbello 15, monopoli 25, locotorondo 25 etc. We didnt want to leave, and we will happily come back again if you will have us?!?!?! Communicating was easy, we had good contact from david before we went, and on the morning he called to confirm our number was correct. Aleandro his man in italy was communicating with us and was available if we needed him, he even came to our rescue when we blew a tyre in castellena on a sunday afternoon! Thank you!

Dusappointing
Firstly, the ‘check in’ was a disaster having been requested, just as we were about to leave our home on the Thursday, to arrive at the meeting place at 1300 instead of the arranged time of 1600. En route to the property we received a text asking ‘where are you?’ We told him we would arrive by 1530 - he changed the meeting place to the property. We arrived at the property at 1530, no sign of anybody, no mobile signal at all. Had to drive about 3 miles to obtain signal. He told us he was at the property but he had not been there when we had arrived. The meet and greet was rushed and totally unacceptable. The ‘welcome dish’ of tea bags, coffee etc. was a joke. The tea bags were actual mouldy!! Our first impression of the trullo was one of disappointment - an unkempt driveway, untidy pool area and a hornet’s nest in the base of an olive tree, adjacent to where we had to park the car, was disconcerting. We were told that the pool had been cleaned that morning. We realised when the pool man came during the week that this was totally u true. The trullo was quite nice but one dishwasher tablet, an almost empty bottle of gunky washing up liquid, no decent dish cloths and 1 toilet roll meant we had to buy all these items for a 7 day holiday for 2 people. Each of the bedrooms had a large chandelier with approx 20 bulbs - both had only ONE candle bulb working. The wall sconce in the main bedroom didn’t work, the bulb in one of bedside table lamps failed on the first night and there were no replacements to be found. The sockets throughout the trullo only supported lamps and had smaller pins than the adaptors we had brought. In order for us to charge iPhones, iPads etc. meant we had to purchase an adaptor with thinner pins at a cost of €25. Hairstyling items could not be used - that is, until my husband discovered that the toaster had an adaptor that we could use. The pool area could have been very nice if tidied up, although the paving stones around the top of the pool were loose and dangerous. Also, the ladder for exiting the pool was also loose and very dangerous. Although the temperatures were in the high 20’s to low 30’s whilst we were there, the pool remained freezing cold. One issue which worried us a great deal was that the trullo is very isolated and not being able to obtain a signal for mobile phones was a huge worry. If either of us had been taken ill, or fallen we would not have been able to contact anybody. Overpriced!!

Quiet, beautiful and relaxing
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful trullo. The surrounding olive groves and almond trees provide beautiful backdrop to this property, which is situated in a very quiet spot, but only a short drive away from the nearest town with weekly market and gorgeous Alberobello. The trullo is also in the middle of Pulia region - very convenient for day trips into numerous picturesque towns. If you're looking for a quiet holiday in the countryside, this is a place for you.

Peace perfect peace................
The trullo has a feeling of being VERY rural, but is actually only about 10 mins from Castellana, and an easy walk to the nearest Maseria Centrone Picolo (and my goodness the food was amazing there!!) We took the car up (laziness really) and the staff were happy for us to leave it overnight and collect the next day (make sure you take the torch from the trullo for your walk home!) A stay in a trullo has been on my to do list for a while and this didn't disappoint. The property was very comfortable and easily accommodated 4 adults. The location is ideal for visiting the surrounding area and further afield. Stating the obvious I know, but a car is absolutely essential! We had an epic thunder and lightening storm on day one and the trullo was struck by lightening with an almighty crack!! The whole area was out of power for 4 or 5 hours but our lovely neighbour Rocco a few minutes away gave us some candles so this was not an issue (gas hob, so we didn't starve!) I believe from speaking to him that the power can often fail when it is particularly stormy so some candles and a few more candle holders in the trullo would be nice (I do appreciate that the owners are perhaps concerned about fire hazards tho, so this may be why they aren't supplied) This is the first holiday I can remember where I didn't come home having put on half a stone and craving fruit and veg (and believe me it wasn't for lack of trying!!) The local produce is just fabulous, the local veg amazing and the meat and seafood top notch. A lot of the local restaurants have a 0km policy for produce, not as a trendy selling point, like some other places I have been, but just because that is what they do here. David was fantastic in the run up to our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble, and the deluxe hamper and wine and beer pack waiting for us, as arranged, meant we could completely chill for the first couple of days. The meal left in the fridge was a Godsend due to our flight being delayed (tho I must confess, there was so much that it also gave us lunch the next day!) An absolute 5 star service, that could not be faulted and made us feel very special. I am VERY picky when it comes to accommodation and a few small tweaks would take this review from 4 star to 5 star. The roofing over the outside dining area still lets rain through (would have been nice to sit out and stay dry even if raining) and the screening to the side needs to be stronger. (As I said VERY picky! Fabulous holiday tho)

Lovely property in a beautiful location
It was lovely to stay in a trullo. The property is equipped with everything you need and the pool was just perfect for cooling down on a hot July afternoon. The owners, David and Andrew, answered our queries promptly and replaced broken fans the same day we reported them. We were also grateful to Aleandro, who helps with the property, for his recommendations for places to visit and eat. There are plenty of local hill top towns to visit, including the beautiful Alberobello and Locorotondo. The property is off the beaten track, though there are one or two "neighbours". I would warn tall people that the doorways in the property are low - it being a traditional trullo. I would certainly recommend the property.

idyllic stay
This trullo was just what we were looking for. It sits in the middle of olive fields down a country lane well off the main road. The only noise you hear are the birds, bees, crickets, the occasional noise from farmers working in their fields and the occasional car passing on the lane. The trullo is spacious, well equipped, has a lovely pool and is great if you want peace and tranquility, however, it is not far from the lovely towns and historical sights which dot Puglia. The owner is friendly and aleandro who looks after the place is very friendly and helpful. I certainly would recommend this accomodation.

Beautiful Truili for a beautiful hoilday
It was really an amazing and unique experience to stay in a trulli. This one was particularly lovely and so nicely furnished and decorated and outfitted with everything you need for your stay. . The grounds around the trulli are expansive with olive and fruit trees and the pool is fantastic and so pleasant to be in after a day of sightseeing in the heat! Plenty of room for dining outside or relaxing by the pool . It is really quiet as well in this area-very peaceful! The villa was clean and tidy with everything you would need. Plenty of books and DVD's. Well equipped kitchen and it was nice to have a bottle of milk and wine waiting for us.The help in finding the villa was very helpfull as it is quiet difficult to find the first time .The areas that we found from the information provived by david were Beautiful ,and the restaurants that were recommened all proved to be exceptional.Overall a great hoilday in a great part of Italy

Relaxing and interesting stay in an excellent property
We spent two weeks at this trullo and agree with all the other reviews that it is a beautiful property in a lovely quiet location, surrounded by olive groves and orchards. Staying in such an old, characterful property with such a quirky design was fab. The interior stays cool and the beds are extremely comfortable. The pool and outside area are perfect for relaxing and taking meals under the shady covered area. There is almost total privacy and it's only a short drive into either Arborebello or Castellana for supplies or meals out. Although we ate in and barbecued most nights we tried the Osteria Carosena in Castellana which was recommended by previous guests and it was excellent. The little quiet roads around the house are lovely for an evening walk or a morning run, depending on how energetic you are! The pool is a good size and well maintained. The beaches are only half an hour's drive away and there are plenty of very photogenic little white walled towns for a wander. Matera's sassi cave homes are an hour away but are worth driving to see. Overall we'd highly recommend this holiday home as a good centre for visiting and discovering Puglia as well as relaxing.

A characterful Trullo amongst the olive groves
We had a fantastic holiday at Trullo Casolare - it was the perfect place to stay. The property is full of charm and has everything you could want when you are on holiday. It is totally secluded and surrounded by olive, almond and fruit trees. The swimming pool was a total luxury, and it was beautifully maintained every few days during our stay. We also appreciated the change of bedlinen and towels at the end of our first week. The property is in a great location for exploring Puglia; Alberobello is about a 10 minute drive away and you can get to the beaches within half an hour and there are many other small towns to explore within easy driving distance. Thank you for a wonderful holiday and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
