The photos do not do this property justice! The house, gardens and pool are all beautiful. Stella, her sister and Anna Marie are so helpful, with recommendations for the local area (the guide book became our bible) and they had thought of everything in the villa. This really isn't like the usual villa experience where you can't find enough cutlery or pots and pans - the house is so well equipped and we were greeted by a very thoughtful welcome basket on arrival. The house and gardens are so well looked after and our only slight complaint was that the pool was too cold - but that was the fault of the unusually cold weather in the run up to our visit. We had such a lovely time - the children called it their magical fairy house and we want to thank Stella for letting us stay in her beautiful home.
Everything about this holiday was magic.
Lovely Trulli in a great location. So peacefully and relaxing. The Trullie has been well restored and modernized to today’s needs and the outdoor kitchen has everything you could want.
A great restoration of an old trulli. The outdoor kitchen was superb with all the kit and appliances you would ever need (including a wine fridge!) We ate breakfast and lunch here and never used the indoor kitchen. Pool area was plenty big enough with chairs/loungers for everyone. It was 38 degrees pretty much the entire time we were there so the Air Con was brilliant. The property manager, Anna Maria, could not have been more helpful and is only 10 mins away. I would be happy to recommend this Trulli to anyone looking to holiday in the Puglia region.
A beautifully restored and extended trulli, very thoughtfully executed. Great outside kitchen beside the pool was all we ever used. Comfortable bedrooms and all set in mature grounds and olive grove in a quiet rural setting. We enjoyed visiting the local towns and imbibing the Puglian wine and cuisine. A truly relaxing week with the perfect 'base camp'.
Once in a lifetime stay in a stone cone-shaped trulli dwelling typical of the Puglia region. 4 adults across 3 bedrooms enjoyed the layout, which offered plenty of different zones to do one's own thing. We found ourselves using the external kitchen constantly and swimming in the pool every morning despite the mild weather. Located 5 minutes drive from Ceglie Messapica, don't be deceived by the modern, run-down outer of this foodie town. The historic centre up on the hill is stunning and the food is cheap and plentiful. Many other towns and attractions around the area in all directions. Only real downside was our stress driving on the opposite side of the road in an SUV, which probably enhanced our desire to laze around and do nothing by the pool for much of the week. Next time I'd hire a smaller car, though native right-side drivers likely wouldn't suffer from this stress. I'd also make use of the transport service the landlord lists (in the comprehensive guest info book) in order to head into Ceglie more often throughout the week for wining and dining. And I'd stay 10-14 days instead of 7, given there's so many day trips on offer!
We loved our visit to Trulli Stella! It is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. It's convenient to great restaurants, wonderful historic sites, and perfect for a relaxing day by the pool, (though weather during our mid-October visit was a bit chilly for swimming). Anna Maria was warm and welcoming, and we are grateful for the hospitality she showed us on behalf of the property owners.
We've had the most wonderfully relaxing time as a family at Trulli Stella. It is beautifully presented and very well kept, and set in the most wonderfully pretty, yet very private location. Every detail has been carefully thought through, offering everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. The owners were very responsive and accommodating with our requirements, and the written guide was incredibly detailed and useful. There are so many things to see and do in the nearby area, yet we found it hard to tear ourselves away from the villa as it is so lovely, and well equipped. The outdoor kitchen was just so useful as we virtually lived outdoors, taking shade from the heat of the day, and cooking up meals from the garden and lovely local produce available just a stone's throw from the villa. You'd be hard pushed to find a better place for a holiday - we can't wait to come back.
Trulli Stella is an exceptional property absolutely perfect for a family 'away from it all' holiday. The Trulli is beautifully designed with luxury fixtures and fittings and an incredible outdoor kitchen, landscaped gardens and a gorgeous pool. It has everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday home but is only 10 mins drive from great cafes and restaurants iif you want to venture out. It is also really near all the main sights in southern Puglia so great for day trips. We love this place and will be back!
Superb design of house, outdoor kitchen and gardens. Spotlessly clean and exceptionally well equipped. Probably the best property we have rented in over 25 years for being the 'complete package'. So relaxing and yet with plenty of excursions to keep you well occupied. We hope to return !
