Truly wonderful property in a fantastic location
Beautifully restored Trulli in large grounds, beautiful swimming pool, with plenty of shade when needed. Stunning views from the top of the hill over the Itria valley. Neil the property manager was great and so helpful. All this just 15 mins away from some beautiful ā€œwhite townsā€ with excellent restaurants and good markets. Wonderful location for a Puhlian holiday.

Great Trulli experience
We had a great experience staying at this property in July. The house was very clean and the pool was fantastic. The place is located close to all major towns and attractions (within 1-2 hoursā€™ drive), perfect as a base for visiting nearby towns. Highly recommended! The communication with the host and manager was timely and clear. Thanks for having us!

Great location to explore from
Wonderful location to base ourselves to visit all the important towns and locations in Puglia. The trulli was very traditional but had everything we needed for our week's adventure. The pool was particularly good and long enough for a bit of exercise. The property is located close to a national cycleway/footpath which is a converted Aqueduct and so helps a lot on levelling the hills for running / cycling / walking for those wanting to explore. Early June is a great time to visit, its warm/hot enough to stay out and swim, but not unbearably hot and the most of the tourist hotspots are very welcoming and not too crowded. Another plus was the bed was comfortable. There's a wonderful selection of DVDs - those that came free with Sunday papers, if it does rain. Wifi was also good.

Perfect place for exploring Puglia
We had a wonderful two week holiday at Trulli Vista dividing our time between lounging around by the pool and exploring Puglia. The weather was amazing and the property perfectly placed for both pursuits. The trulli is tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable and sits in beautiful countryside not far from Ostuni and Martina Franca. You can be on a beach in 20, 30 minutes, and Lecce, Gallipoli, Matura and Alberobello are all within easy driving distance. It was difficult to leave! Communication with Glenn and Steve and Neil was excellent, and I really appreciated that cleaners were included in the price and did a mid stay clean - more holiday for me! Thanks so much Glenn and Steve for sharing your wonderful property with us. Hope to be back some time.

Trulli April 5-8 2023
Lovely stay but weather was not kind to us - very cold and wet - so we couldnā€™t enjoy all that the trulli had to offer! We could have sat outside and enjoyed the pergola overlooking the pool, would be lovely in Spring/early summer! There is a short drive to the local restaurant but as 2 ā€˜mature ageā€™ friends travelling together we chose not to go out at night as it was very cold, wet and dark with a narrow drive to the trulli which didnā€™t appeal to us as driving was on the opposite side of the road for us!! The local garage/small store/coffee stop was a short drive and the owners lovely. Our daily travels to surrounding towns took anywhere between 1-2 hours and we visited most of them! 2 double beds were comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was wonderful. Unfortunately the trulli was very cold and even if the heating did come on it took a long time to heat up and then turned off at night. If the heating could be turned on for the arrival of guests in the cold months it would be more welcoming too. Glenn was a pleasure to communicate with giving very clear directions and answering any questions. We enjoyed our stay but would go at a different time of the year - probably Spring before the heat of summer.

Beautiful trullo, spectacular country setting, wonderful host
Our friendly host Glen was an amazing help from our arrival to departure, going out of his way to offer advice and assistance. We absolutely loved the accommodation and the amazing gardens and pool area. Such a peaceful haven! Unfortunately, our hire car did not have GPS as requested, so we had some difficulty exploring the area. It was a pleasant walk along country lanes past beautiful trulli to the Mini-market, where we were able to purchase fresh fruit and delicious hot food, made fresh daily. The trullo was very well equipped with everything we needed. It was a truly memorable experience to stay there and we can understand why some visitors return every year. We highly recommend this country paradise.

We loved staying here. The house was in a perfect location for exploring Puglia. The grounds are beautifully landscaped the pool is lovely with sun all day long! The house could use comfortable dining chairs since it is the only place to hang out, but we moved in the terrace chairs for comfort.

Quaint, wonderful bike trails, great location, peaceful
My partner, myself and adult son enjoyed at week at the Trullivista. Communication from the outset was excellent and prompt . Hazel the property manager handled the checking in and out personally and was available for questions. A lovely rural location right on the amazing bike trails built for bikes and walkers on the aqueduct system. A small grocer and cafe just minutes away with excellent homemade meals, cheeses and all one requires. Handy to sightseeing and wonderful towns and beaches. Traveling from abroad makes packing essentials like shampoo and soaps etc tricky so having some there would be wonderful as a nice touch. Kitchen well stocked with basics. Recommend some sharp knives and nonstick pans for those of us who enjoyed cooking meals. Highly recommend Vito at Nature Bike Tours for bike rentals. Appreciated the bubbly and locally made olive oil very much!

Fantastic holiday home
I would highly recommend TrulliVista . The property is in a great location. It has everything needed to have a relaxing and great time. It is also good for entertaining . Although we arrived towards the end of May the weather was hot ( c. 33 degrees) and to our surprise the Trulli was nice and cool once we opened the windows. There really was no need for air conditioning, all the windows have mosquito nets which is great. We truly enjoyed the Swiming pool. It was absolutely fantastic . Thank you Glenn and Steve for sharing your lovely house with us . We had a wonderful time and managed to get recharged to continue the rest of our journey towards the North of Italy .

Very comfortable Trulli in a lovely countryside setting
We really enjoyed staying at this lovely Trulli. It is well equipped, comfortable and has wonderful views across the Puglian countryside. My only minor piece of feedback was that the cycle track along side of the property overlooked the terrace area and some of the pool. Not many people walk/cycle past during the day though so it wasnā€™t a big deal. The owners were very quick to respond to our questions before we visited and the check in service, advice and support throughout our stay offered by Annie was excellent. Thanks very much
