Middle trulli, ancient stone house

Carefully restored Trulli right on the edge of a small village. Every detail of the restoration and interiors accomplished with a designer touch. Although not in the middle of the countryside, the property is beautiful with a gorgeous old olive orchard dominating the outlooks. The place is immaculate, and perfectly set up for two couples to share or a family of 4 or 5. Fully equipped, clean and bright, with a great courtyard for relaxing in the sun or dining outdoors. In our view, this is really the best part of Puglia--just a few minutes outside of Locorotondo and no more than 30-45 minutes from a wide range of great sites (and most importantly incredible restaurants). Perhaps the best part of our stay was our host Giorgio--passionate about the restoration he completed on the Trulli, and ready to respond to any request with great enthusiasm. There is an outstanding bike path that starts near the Trulli and goes for miles through the countryside--when we expressed and interest in trying it, Giorgio swiftly rounded up a couple of bikes for the adventure. We enjoyed 3 nights and could have stayed longer! Thanks Giorgio--it was perfect!

My sister and I sent 6 nights in this very charming trulli. Giorgio was extremely friendly, helpful and generous. When we arrived in the area, he met us in Cisternino and led us to the trulli. Giorgio had stocked the trulli with with multiple food items to get us started including bottled water, milk, biscuits, pastas, as well as a huge basket of fresh tomatoes, peppers, and persimmons from his garden. The place was spotlessly clean and well stocked for cooking and doing laundry. The location is a bit remote but not far from a large grocery store and several local restaurants and we felt very secure with a gated entrance. We very much enjoyed our stay. The only minor annoyance we experienced was a barking door at the house next door. Overall, I would highly recommend the Trulli middle to anyone considering staying here but just remember that the trulli does not hold heat in well and I would suggest that an extra sweater may be needed if the weather is cool.
