Idylic!
A stunning and beautifully furnished property in a secluded location. We stayed as two families, nine in total and the house was plenty spacious enough for us all. The outdoor areas were great for relaxing and we made good use of the barbeque area. You definitely need a car as the property is remote but this meant that we didn't have to worry about noise with small children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone visiting the Puglia region.

Tastefully decorated Trullo
We had a great stay with our grown up kids. Nina was very efficient in responding and her guide of places to eat and visit was excellent. The villa is very nicely decorated and has everything you need. The bedrooms were warm as the AC is only in the central area and we did ask for the pool to be cleaned as once a week on a Friday may not be enough! These were small issues and we would certainly recommend the villa.

Our best holiday yet
Dreamy just a perfect trulli home to stay in it has given us the best experience ever, our host Nina was amazing and easy to talk too, this holiday was booked before covid and I just didn’t think it would ever happen, also Angelita met us late because our flight was delayed and she was a angel and helped us with anything at a drop of a hat, even showed us a restaurant to eat at late because we were all so hungry just so friendly and a comfort to know she was there for us regarding anything. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Beautiful Villa in the Countryside
My family and I (husband, 2 boys 13 and 10) had a wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful villa. The villa was immaculately clean, the gardens well kept and we had everything we needed for our weeks stay and really enjoyed our holiday. The pool was clean and there was a net provided which the boys loved fishing out any stray bugs that might have flown in overnight! The internet dropped off a couple of times but we followed the instructions in the welcome pack and were connected back quickly, there is very little phone signal but this did not bother us we were able to make online calls if we needed too.
Location is perfect for exploring by car to all the nearby towns and villages, Alberoberro and Martina Franca were my favourite's however there are so many more lovely places to visit too. We loved it here and would definitely come back.

Good location for exploring Puglia
Trullo di Sotto, in the hamlet of Casalini, is in a peaceful spot a few minutes drive from the main road. Communication with Nina was good and she was very understanding of the issues we had delaying our arrival due to unforeseen circumstances.
The three bedrooms are spacious, two with en-suites and one with separate bathroom plus there's a dining area, sitting room and tiny kitchen. Ample outdoor space is provided which is pleasant for dining in the heat.
The pool was cleaned once during the week we stayed and that was at my request as it was already dirty when we arrived (it gets cleaned on a Friday and we arrived on Tuesday). The bottom was dirty and the surface continually had leaves and insects floating on it which I'd happily have cleaned out if there had been a net provided. I consider for the price we paid that the pool would've been cleaned more frequently as I too rent a property to guests and the pool is cleaned daily, rubbish collected and gardens watered.
The biggest issue for us was the wi-fi and although the listing states that this is provided via satellite and therefore can't always be guaranteed, what we experienced was a constantly unreliable service that required frequent resetting daily. It was impossible to do any continuous work as it was lost when the wifi went down and the service was barely sufficient for checking emails. This is obviously a known issue as we were advised on check in to "just flip the mains switch" which, as it transpired, we were doing several times a day. The problem wasn't helped by power outages over the first two days which made contacting anyone for assistance difficult as there was no phone signal or internet to try to find out what was happening.
As others have commented, the trullo is extremely hot inside and although fans are provided, the A/C is only in the main kitchen/dining area.
The bathrooms are well equipped however the shower flooded the floor with each use as the shower curtains were insufficient to stop water escaping. Not a major issue but having had a couple of slips, it occurred to me it may be a problem for older people or with kids running around.
The trullo is nicely decorated, the kitchen is equipped with the basics for cooking, the location is good for exploring Puglia and enjoying the beaches and towns.

Beautiful property and stunning location
We were a family of 5 adults and 2 small (under age of 5) children and had a week's holiday in this trulli in early October. We all had a lovely relaxing time with the children being occupied by the pool, large garden area and very friendly and patient dog and cat from the local farm. /it met all our needs and more and we would definitely recommend it. It was also really helpful to have on hand the property manager who was really friendly and helpful about what to do/visit with young children and good quality restaurants.

Our second time in lovley Puglia and Trullo de Sotto. We are in love with the surroundings and all the nice places we can visit in the area. The property is very well maintained and we got good information in advance and during our stay.
We had about 40 degrees and without air conditioning it became hot. Some of the rooms in the house need air conditioning. But it`s not that often it gets so hot during summer. We would love to return!

Beautiful Trullo in rural Puglia
We had a great stay, the Trullo has been decorated beautifully. We loved the different seating areas outside and the pool. We, as 8 adults, felt that there was plenty of room. Both Nina and Angelita were very helpful and made our stay seamless. I would just note the wifi was slightly dodgy but I think that comes with the location and being in a bit of a dip in the valley, it meant that we actually switched off though! Perfect stay and we hope to return!

Magical place in wonderful surroundings - pure relaxation
The trullo is extremely tastefully decorated and tucked away amongst olive trees. It's quiet, totally private and has a lovely pool. The trullo is very well furnished and the two pergolas are peaceful havens. Nina was very quick getting back to us when we enquiried about booking and gave us a lot of information about the area. The trullo is a five minute drive from the nearest little town and 15mn from Ostuni. We can't recommend this property highly enough. It's picture perfect and genuinely idyllic.

Lovely Trulli in beautiful and relaxing surroundings
Enjoyed a wonderful week at this lovely property in May. The house has everything we needed both indoors and out, with fantastic shaded areas by the pool and house and panoramic views of olive groves carpeted in wild flowers.
Nearby Casalini (5min drive or 30min walk) has some useful mini-markets, delicious wine shop and a great little restaurant and pizza place. The surrounding towns in the Itria Valley are great to explore and the beautiful beaches almost empty in May.
The owners were very quick to respond to any queries before we went and we were met on arrival at the nearest large town Cisternino to show us the way.
Highly recommended.

Fabulous in every way!
Absolutely loved this Trullo and the surrounding area. The Trullo is stunning, having been sympathetically restored and extended, retaining original features but with a chic,luxurious, contemporary feel. Everything has been well thought out and works perfectly. Indoors is remarkably spacious and the outdoor space is fabulous with abundant shade, seating, tables, cushions, loungers. Pool fab, BBQ large and spotless. The entire property is very clean and well kept. The owner is super to communicate with and the local contact was just as friendly and helpful - even walking down to the local stables to translate our request for hacks and lessons!
The surrounding area is wonderful. An easy 45mins from Brindisi airport, 25mins from beautiful sandy beaches, 10mins from the marvellous town of Ostuni with its splendid views and fabulous restaurants and retail. Super local food markets.
We were sorry to leave and will definitely return.

We arrived really late (01.00) and she got us sandwiches and icecream At a local shop, so amazing! She helped us out with Any queries whether it was renting a taxi or having dinner or drinks at wonderfull places.
The villa is Trulli amazing :D. Everything is so cosy and nicely decorated and you have a lovely loungespot underneath the gazebo next to the pool or in front of the villa. You don't really need to leave the villa to have a fabulous time. If you do want to leave, within no time you are in the coolest places like ostuni. We also visited beaches in otranta (a bit further out) and Polignano. If you want to go to a club we can advice torre café in il capitolo.
As mentioned in other reviews this is a hidden gem that is likely to be fully booked if to Many people know about its coolness. Anyway I am dying to go back!! And certainly Will.

Découverte des pouilles
Le trullo est situé dans une magnifique région. L’extérieur de la propriété est très agréable, entouré d’oliviers et de figuiers. Par contre, la cuisine mériterait d’être rénové, surtout l’évier qui est en très mauvais état. D’autre part, il y a une seule unité de climatisation dans la cuisine.
