We had a wonderful stay. The property is full of character and comfort. Angelita made us welcome and was exceedingly gracious and helpful with everything. The location was perfect for visiting the whole Val d’Istria.
Beautiful house very pleasant and relaxing. The house and outside Area are decorated with great taste. We hope to return to Puglia and this house in the future. i highly recommend this house.
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.
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.
Fanastic Trullo, lovely host (Angelita who was exceptional) and owner (Nina, who clearly cared). We were very well looked after and felt valued as guests. The Trullo was everything we expected and hoped for. We have no hesitation in recommending.
We enjoyed our stay. The trullo was in a quiet area. The access road needs some attention. The trullo is nice and in a beautiful setting. The kitchen was small, dated and didn’t offer simple provisions, e.g., olive oil. We did have a bottle of prosecco upon arrival which was a nice touch. The lighting is low and made the trullo dark on cloudy days. The location is very central to sightseeing. Lilliana was extremely helpful and responsive.
We want to thank you for a fantastic stay, house and surroundings. We really enjoyed it. Everything worked very well and we got a lot of help and support when needed. We truly recommend our Trulli. The only thing that sometime was a bit unstable was the wifi. We hope to be back in the future. Ciao
This villa was exactly as described. We loved the outdoor space both right outside the door ( which is protected from the rain) and the space by the pool. Both had ample places to sit and enjoy an early morning coffee or late afternoon glass of wine. All the bedrooms were of adequate size but since there were only four of us we chose the two bedrooms with doors opening to the outside which happened to be on opposite sides of the villa. We just loved our stay and would definitely return. Angelita was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond when needed.
We had a wonderful holiday. The house is situated in the countryside, so very quiet. The pool is really added value. During our stay in July/August it was around 30 degr.C and especially with kids it is a must have. The garden is full of olive - & fig trees. The location, near Cisternino, is an excellent starting point to explore Puglia which has so much to offer. People are very friendly & considerate. I would love to come back, as we did not see half.
The property is as beautiful as pictured. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfortable and the trullo is very clean upon arrival. Home is located down long dirt road near a horse farm. For me personally it was part of it's charm-enjoyed seeing them every time we ventured out. Though a little remote it did still make access to so many beautiful towns withing 15 to 60 minutes. We had stayed in Bari followed by Lecce for 6 nights so the countryside was a welcome respite. Unanimously, we felt this was all part of our journey. We did have some extreme weather there for a couple of days but our contact person checked in twice on our welfare which was reassuring. The pool was clean and grounds well cared for. I would definitely stay here again!
Nous avons adoré notre séjour au trulli acquarossa. Décoré avec goût et très agréable à vivre. La météo nous n'a pas permis de tester la piscine mais l'endroit au milieu de la nature est magique.
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. Les chambres n’en bénéficient pas ce qui est un problème.
Ausgesprochen schönes und bis ins Detail geschmackvoll gestaltetes Ferienhaus auf wunderbar gelegenem Grundstück. Besonders schön sind die wohnlichen Aussenplätze direkt am Haus und am Pool. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Der Empfang und die Kommunikation mit dem Vermietern war sehr herzlich.
Das Trullo befindet in the middle of nowhere :-) und das ist gut so. Absolute Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit findet man hier. Das Anwesen ist gut ausgestattet, eine gut funktionierende Fussbodenheizung sorgt auch an kalten Tagen für angenehme Temperaturen. Der Pool ist gross und sauber, man verfügt über drei Schlafzimmer mit drei Badezimmern. Da es keinen Telefonempfang gibt, ist das WiFi wichtig. Es läuft gut. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und kommen gern wieder.

Great place
Lovely chic trulli property with a nice pool and outdoor dining and lounging spaces. Quiet and pretty location, near a lot of sites in Puglia.
L’endroit est magique, beau, calme, apaisant.
La décoration est soignée, le Trullo est très confortable et fonctionnel.
Accueil de qualité et grande disponibilité d’Angelita.
Le coin piscine est juste délicieux
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.
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.
We were two families traveling with four kids, the house didn’t at any point feel to small - there was lots of space both indoors and outdoors.
The house and the surroundings are beautiful and very calming, also its close to all the cities you may want to visit.
Both Nina and the local contact Angelita are very friendly and quick to respond when texting.
One night we had a chief over at the house to cook for us, it was a lovely experience.
We would definitely come back any time!
We had a brilliant week in the villa and could have stayed much much longer. Perfect places to relax and enjoy the countryside. Weather was warm and sunny so made good use of the villa and the amazing pool area. Also plenty of nice towns nearby to go and explore and lots of good restaurants to choose from.
Very good communication with Nina before our arrival and Angelita is absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful and so knowledgeable about the area.
We will definitely be back again
An amazing charming trulli in the middle of the hills of central Puglia. The house was everything we expected and much more. A perfect central starting point to discover Puglia, not far from beautiful beaches and close to historic villages and cities. On top of that a delightful swimming pool to cool down on warm days.
Angelita, our contact person, was very friendly, helpful with suggestions and always reacted quick on our messages.
We hope to come here again with the whole family and highly recommend this trulli.
Authentique, isolé et en pleine nature, le trulli de Nina est un merveilleux endroit pour passer des vacances de rêve. Tout est pensé d'un point de vue pratique et agencé avec beaucoup de goût.
Sa localisation permet de rayonner et visiter les lieux touristiques des Pouilles sans oublier les plages qui ne sont pas loin. Nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer Nina qui est une hôte extrêmement accueillante et à l'écoute.
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.
