This recently upgraded home in an olive grove is clean and has all of the modern conveniences. The pool is large and nicely landscaped. The bathroom is lovely with its crystal and marble accents. You have all the privacy you need in you own property. Hazel, the host, is gracious and very helpful (thank you for putting up with me Hazel). This is in an agrarian area, so the old ancient roads can be narrow and a challenge for us Americans who are accustomed to wide roads.

An excellent place for a family stay

The property is excellent - fantastic facilities in every respect. We had no issues with the electricity when there (something which some earlier reviews flagged) and everything worked perfectly at all times. Location excellent for exploring Puglia. Unrelated to the property in some ways (and not something which can be helped), the only thing to watch out for is the mosquitos when out in the countryside - being repellant and cover up.

Great location for Ostuni and the coast. And a wonderful base for exploring the wonders of Puglia - from Otranto & Lecce across to Matera. Very happy with house and pool - exactly as advertised. Fabulous care from Hazel at check-in, check-out and for super advice/recommendations and help with restaurant reservations through the week. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

An absolutely beautiful property with excellent grounds including a great swimming pool which is even better than the photos. The surrounding area has lots of places to visit. It was lovely to have the experience of staying in a traditional trullo but also having the amenities of the modern villa.

Very comfortable villa and lovely Trullo. Very hot when stayed there so limited activities a little. Getting up early and going to wonderful towns around is a good idea. Fabulous spot to visit many places of interest. Swimming pool beautiful but could not use during day due to excessive heat . However lovely in morning and evening.

Trullo Dolce Vita

Trullo Dolce is absolutely wonderful. Its beautiful setting with blooming flowers and olive and fruit trees, a perfect pool and all the amenities you need for a private and relaxing stay in Puglia. We spent a week at Trullo Dolce and traveled to nearby towns and beaches and often cooked at home. The home is spacious and clean and comfortable. The Trullo is adorable and the amenities are plentiful and useful. We felt we were a world away and look forward to many happy returns.

Fab stay at this villa and trullo. Lovely big pool and plenty of sunbeds and chairs around so you could easily escape the hot sun. Villa was well stocked with everything we needed. Good aircon. A small welcome pack would have been nice though, especially after the wonderful treats we were given on arrival at our previous villa, which made us feel special. Trullo was very sweet and we enjoyed the unique experience of waking up with the conical roof above and opening the windows to listen to the birds outside. Would recommend a trip to Matera (even though it is a bit of a journey) as well as the nearer Alberobello, which was adorable. Beaches were packed (as expected in August) but go early, and explore around, there are some gems to be found away from the larger towns. Check in was good, but a comment about thieves in the area did play on my mind for a few days. We didn't have any issues though, and had a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely setting of house

We had a lovely relaxing time with family. We had a problem with the hot water - no hot water in kitchen and intermittent hot water in main bathroom. In Trullo, hot water was fine, although would have liked a mirror in room for dressing. The only mirror was in the bathroom around the corner of sink making it difficult to use .

Almost perfect

Offered everything needed with the special plus of a trullo stay. Great new kitchen and beautiful pool! Two main issues: Hot water a big problem in main house (heater not staying on, with need to reset often) and insufficient hot water in trullo. Structural problem with plaster left crumbling pieces and powder throughout main house. Perhaps not dangerous but not agreeable either.

Slice of Heaven in Ceglie Messapica

I didn’t know what it would be like staying in an authentic trullo. What a delight I was in for! The whitewashed limestone walls and stone floors were gorgeous. The four poster bed was lovely and super comfy. The sitting area provided bonus space and the bathroom was the perfect size. Beautifully decorated. I opened the cute blue screened door windows every morning to start my day and soak in some Italian sunshine. Afternoon napping was equally delightful as the bed faces the outside and I opened both doors to get my Zzzs and enjoy the breezy afternoons. Note that many Italian shops close in the afternoons- it’s the Italian version of siestas, so explore early! Quiet neighborhood. Good for morning walks. Great base location. Every day I daytripped and explored beautiful and historical nearby cites like Lecce, Ostuni, Martina Franca….hope to come back soon and stay here again.

Danielle, thank you for your kind review! Good tip on resting in the afternoon because, yes many of our local shops take this time to catch up and/or rest after the morning and before the later afternoon & evening. The morning walks definitely showcase our neighbor's lovely properties and especially their seasonal gardens. We will be here anxiously awaiting your return. -Heather & Alex

Trullo Stay

The main house is well equipped with very good AC. The Trullo was not in the best condition, cobwebs and dust in evidence. MayI suggest Hooks be put on the door to the Trullo as there is no way to hold them open. The area around the pool did not look as it had been cleaned when we arrived. The sun beds are tired along with the brollies. Only 2 brollies for a six occupants does not seem enough. The garden area needs more attention, overgrown to the rear of the property, and flower pots with dead plants. Perhaps more up to date pictures need to be posted on the advertising for this site. Although I have mentioned a few things we did enjoy the time spent here, the area is lovely and the town of Ceglie, has an abundance of well priced cafes and restaurants. This is a good base to explore this beautiful area of Italy.

Peace, quiet and luxury! Amazing Villa and Trullo with fabulous pool!

We enjoyed a wonderful week in comfort and peace, at Trullo Dolce in the heart of the Puglian countryside. The Villa is new and well equipped, with a fantastic new double bathroom and great kitchen. The living area is open plan to the kitchen, so there's plenty of space to relax both inside and out. The beautiful trullo is also a little more spacious than it seems from the photos, which was a lovely surprise. We found the villa and trullo aren't connected, but with two sets of keys, it's just a few steps between front doors. The whole place runs on solar, which makes sense given all the sunshine! We had all the electricity and lovely hot water we needed. The air-con was brilliant and very welcome and the wifi excellent, working seamlessly inside and out - a relief when holidaying with teenagers!!! We loved using the huge BBQ and fabulous Pizza oven and relaxing outside. The highlight for us though, was the incredible pool!! It's huge! and so well maintained. It was hard to drag ourselves away to visit all the amazing beaches and lovely towns in the area which, in such a beautiful region, we'd also highly recommend. We would have happily stayed longer.

Just wonderful!

We spent 13 very wonderful days in the beautiful, clean and very well maintained house! The welcome by Heather was very friendly. Although our flight was quite late, she was there and welcomed us with her warm manner and a cold Prosecco in the fridge (top!!!) and also gave us some good, interesting tips. The house and the whole complex are well maintained, the equipment/ furniture in the house mainly new and really nice and tasteful. The kitchen also offers a lot of things you need for cooking, many spices and also vinegar/ oil available. The pool is fantastic and the trullo was also very lovingly decorated. We also loved that the pool was cleaned twice a week and there was a change of linen after a week - although as there is also a good washing machine - we did some of the washing ourselves. The house is a bit out of the way, which we knew and was okay for us, but without a (rental) car it is not possible. You can drive about 30-40 minutes to various beautiful beaches and there are many great restaurants, nice little towns and good shopping opportunities in the immediate and wider surroundings. We have already recommended the house to friends and family and can imagine returning. That says it all... :-)

Thank for the wonderful review Petra! You've helped many prospective visitors. We are in the countryside and that's why we love it. We're about 12 minutes from Ceglie Messapica (Great food and quaint shops) and Ostuni, beautiful city on a hill is about 15 minutes away. If you can fly in to Brindisi, the house is 35-40 minutes drive. Not too bad right? :) Hope you come to stay with us again. Lots of upgrades to the property this year.

A very rural getaway in beautiful part of Italy

A very well-presented, equipped and comfortable villa situated off the beaten track in a very quiet and remote rural location. About 10 mins drive to nearest town which is a beautiful with cafes and restaurants. Lots to explore further afield too! Villa is clean, well looked after and has everything you need for a super stay.Pool is a great size but would benefit from more umbrellas- 2 very small umbrellas provided but each do not shade a lounger. Very large grounds surround villa and make for spacious plot but be aware of rough terrain - not easily made use of (e.g children playing or strolling unless wearing robust shoes). Check-in and out of villa were least favourable aspect- check-in left our 2 children wary about the safety of the area based on advice about locking villa gates owing to stray dogs (which we did encounter driving local to villa) and possible car theft (no information given as to how real this threat is and whether the villa itself has ever suffered this). Check out felt pressured with Hazel arriving into property without knocking at 9:26am for 10am departure. Quirks of property to be aware of include limited hot water, and no bathroom door lock (key lock but no key provided). Were advised at check-in to avoid wearing nice or white clothes on outdoor sofas owing to stains possible from red ants- although we did not see any. Trulli is beautiful and located through separate front doors to the villa itself (contained bedroom suite).

Where to begin…

We have been traveling to Italy for 30 years. This is our first trip to Puglia and the first time we’ve rented through VRBO. From the beginning, the property manager, Hazel, has been extremely helpful. We are careful people, and always work to prevent reading into things, hence several inquiries to clarify amenities. We needn’t have worried. The house is exactly as described, and the photos don’t do it justice. The kitchen is well done, with everything you need to cook a nice meal. The appliances are new and of high quality. The living room is nicely furnished and comfortable…if you spend a moment inside. The bedrooms have bedside tables with lamps, good storage for clothes, and are bright and cheery. The real stars of the show are the newly remodeled fantasy bathroom with double shower and sinks, and the enormous pool, surrounded by a stone deck with 6 lounge chairs and a conversation corner with 2 chairs, a love seat, and coffee table. The outdoor areas are made very private by the mature landscaping, including the night blooming jasmine hedges that deliver their lovely scent to the property each evening. The terrazza is large and offers a conversation area as well as a choice of 2 dining tables, each seating 6, one in the sun and one in the shade. The trullo is quaint and is as charming as you’d expect, and also offers a bit of real privacy as it’s not connected to the main house. Your only problem will be tearing yourself away…

Thank you so much for your extremely thoughtful review and we could not agree more… The pool and the fantasy bathroom are the top-we are so pleased you loved the remodel. Hazel is the heartbeat of Trullo Dolce and takes such good care of our guests. Leaving Puglia is always the hardest part and we truly hope you return to Trullo Dolce soon.
