trullo nonna itria by pugliadamare

From arrival we were made to feel welcome. We arrived at lunchtime and the table was laden with fresh fruit and vegetables, plus a supply of basic food and drinks to keep us going for a couple of days. The trullo is compact but light and airy and tastefully finished. It was also spotlessly clean. The outside living space is outstanding, with good shade, enabling us to eat out at lunchtime and in the evening. The pool area is incredible, with a fabulous pool which allows you to easily do laps . The location of the trullo was perfect for sightseeing, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Ostuni, Cisternino all being within short distance. Martina Franca is a pleasant town with buzzing weekly markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Maurizio the owner was very hospitable, with gifts of local delicacies on a number of occasions, including homemade meatballs and bread by a family friend! You could not have wished for a kinder person. As a family we fell in love with Puglia; the area, the food, the people, so much so we would like to return again some day soon. Mille grazie Maurizio!

As a family of 2 adults and 3 kids, we stayed for a week and truly enjoyed the Trullo and our interactions with the host, we’d recommend the place. The Trullo is compact but really charming and well finished, and we really enjoyed chilling out around the spacious pool area. The location is also good, just a couple of minutes outside Martina Franca by car and just approx. 15 min drive to a number of other beautiful hilltop towns. It was the first rental of the Trullo so we had a few minor teething issues but they were all sorted very quickly.  The host who lives next to the Trullo was rarely there during the day but was super quick in responding to any of our queries or requests and he just couldn’t be any nicer and made us feel truly welcome.
