Casa Trullo Chiara - Relax among the olive trees near Cisternino

Great villa with an amazing outdoor area. Located just outside of Cisternino it was close enough to local amenities but was far away to be quiet and very private. The owners and Pat and Vita were extremely helpful and super responsive. We’ve had a fantastic time and the location is great to explore Puglia.

Great communication beforehand and when we arrived everything was explained to hs quickly and efficiently. The Trulli is completely private and not overlooked, 5 minutes by car to the beautiful town of Cisternino and 15/20 away from lovely beaches. The pool was immaculate and a welcome relief in the 35c heat.

Beautiful house close to everything. Great home base for exploring all of Puglia. Pat was fantastic at providing recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed! You wont be disappointed!!

Pool is amazing! Pat and Vita were super responsive when there was an issue (water wasn’t working so they had to get a plumber to come on Sunday night). Pat even helped us when we got lost! The outdoor area is beautiful, and it really gives you a taste of living in the countryside (helping with watering and daily recycling), looking at the stars and a quiet life.

We spent a delightful 4 weeks at Trullo Chiara. The house is located on a large property with beautiful olive, fig, almond, and Macedonian oak trees. There are also lovely cacti. The outdoor living area is superbly well-designed. There is comfortable seating around the clean, gorgeous pool, with sun or shade always available. The landscape architecture and night lighting are stunning. The owners spend time here when it is not rented, so it has loving touches. Spotlessly clean, excellent appliances, very strong Wi-Fi indoors and outdoors. It is impossible to describe the cozy feeling of the trullo bedroom, with its domed ceiling. Magical! The support staff is phenomenal. Vita, the manager, is a force of nature, competent, intelligent, and full of friendly humor. Pat, who supplies much valuable information and helps with translation, is another person we won’t forget. A key attraction of the Trullo Chiara, is that it is peaceful and tranquil, and yet just a few minutes away from excellent markets, butchers, fishmonger, wine coöperative, etc.

We enjoyed our stay at Trullo Chiara very much. The property is very private and peaceful. The pool was welcoming and refreshing especially on hot summer days. Inside the home is well equipped with anything you might need. And the contact with Natalia or Vita or Pat was quick and helpful. Tons of suggestions for what to do in the area. Cisternino is a great base and Trullo Chiara is close to many amenities. The home does not have AC but the extra fans were helpful to keep cool on hotter days. And certainly a refreshing swim also helped cool us down.

We had a wonderful weeks holiday. The Trullo is beautiful, clean and well equipped. The pool and grounds are fantastic and very welcome on a hot day. Pat & Vita were incredibly helpful and always available for anything we needed. We definitely required a car though as although the Town was a 25 minute walk it was along narrow roads with little or no pavements, so not for the faint hearted or in the dark. We also found the bedroom quite hot at night and the fan did little to cool the whole room. Saying that we did go in July so a small price to pay for such a beautiful place and location. Cisternino and surrounding area was stunning and we’d happily return to the area and the Trullo. Fantastic overall.

Beautiful setting and gorgeous outdoor area with seating around the pool. Cisternino is a lovely town to be based near. Owners and property managers really helpful and friendly.

All great except misinformation as to how ‘walkable’ Cisternino centre ( or even outskirts) was. Impossible to walk except as an expedition so no chance of a stroll into town for a drink/meal etc. Narrow twisting lanes made driving even a medium sized car an extremely fraught experience even for FOUR experienced drivers.

Overall this was a great time in Cisternino and Casa Trullo Chiara. The house had everything we needed and more. The main bed in the Trullo was very comfortable. A couple of glitches with electricity, water and wifi were attended to quickly. The owners were very gracious in compensating us for the inconvenience caused. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this property.
