This is the best place where we stayed during our stay in Italy! This Trullo I liked much more and seemed more authentic than the trulli of Alberobello. He is real! The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Moreover, the hostess left us with milk, coffee and croissants for breakfast. Luke and his parents were very welcoming and hospitable. It is unfortunate that we were there for only 4 days. Luca, grazie mille!

Lovely trullo in a beautiful location. Kids loved the attic room. Met by luca's parents who were very helpful.

We (3 adolescents and me, the grown up) enjoyed our stay at the Trullo very much. Luca's father picked us up so we didn't get lost in the maze of small roads. Cisternino is really wunderfull to visit and just 5 minutes drive from the Trullo. We went there every evening, the town was full of music and other animation. A supermarket is about 3 minutes drive from the Trullo. We were very sorry to leave this wonderfull and special place.

This trullo is in a lovely location, in the country and yet not too far from the nearest town. It is situated amongst a very small group of trullos. We enjoyed sitting outside of an evening soaking up the atmosphere. The neighbours were very kind. The trullo is well equipped and we were very comfortable there and felt at home immediately. Biaggio was very kind and on several occasions went out of his way to help us.

Without a doubt the best place we stayed during our travels in Italy, and the best vacation home I've ever rented. Beautiful! The house is discreetly outfitted with every little thing you might possibly need while maintaining an uncluttered country charm. The rural location was a pleasure for us, and we found several memorable restaurants in Cisternino. Luca and his parents were exceedingly gracious and very quick to respond to communications. We felt very taken care of. I can't say enough good things about this home. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you!

We were all looking forward to our experience of living in a Trulli, If only for a week. We were not disappointed! We were warmly welcomed by Lucas' mother who was a ball of energy. She was only to happy to point out all of the amenities of the house . ( the coffee machine, washing machine and shower). All great. We were 5 adults sharing the cozy accommodation, one of the beds was over the dinning room, access was via a trap door and a ladder. Our adult son managed it easily. The kitchen was small but very practical and allowed us to cook some wonderful puglieise cuisine. Location was ideal for us as we could easily walk to town or have easy access to drives. Only 300 meters from our door was Almond a gelato and pastry shop. So far the best gelato we have had. Thank you Luca for offering your Trulli to us and for other fellow travellers it is a unique experience. Frank, Linda, Elvira, Patricia and David.

Our stay in the trullo was a perfectly special experience. It was a comfortable and cosy place where we found everything we needed. Although outside it was very hot, the trullo was cool. The wifi worked well. We immediately became friends with three little kittens that were around whenever we were. The communication with Luca was great. His mom welcomed us and even showed us their garden where they grow fruits and vegetables without chemicals and gave us lots of vegetables to use. Amazing! I regret we didn't stay any longer and can warmly recommend this place to everyone that is going to be in Puglia.

Trullo amenagé nicely, with new furniture and equipment, very clean and warm for winter. It is located in a small hamlet in the countryside, a 10-15 minute drive from the center of Cisternino. Our communication with Biagio and his son Lucca was very good both before and during the stay.

We had a really lovely time staying in Gianluca's house, which is well-located, cosy and incredibly stylish. The city of Lecce is well worth visiting if you are travelling around the region, and Gianluca's house offers the perfect base. On top of that, he was extremely welcoming, providing us with tips for where to eat and what to see, and even sorting out parking for us. We would thoroughly recommend!

Gianluca's apartment is an excellent choice if you're visiting Lecce to see the old town. It's comfortable, well equipped and only two or three minutes easy walk from the old town. Gianluca is friendly and helpful, and the only minor negative is that the mezzanine bedroom and stairs creak a bit, so you can forget about a quiet trip to the toilet in the middle of the night. Otherwise, a really nice place to stay.

Perfect home for a (almost) perfect motorcycle trip: The accommodation in beautifully restored historic building is for "urban researcher" ideal: very quiet location in the center of Middle. The historic city center is completely traversed on foot. We have four motorcycles parked around after our arrival around the corner, explored the city on foot and approached the beaches of Otranto, Gallipoli un Leuca with the "Salento" bus. The introduction to the public transport options were (sort of) as a "secret tip" of Gianluca, who was very friendly and introduced us to his receiving "Castella". For our stay the domicile was a fantastic property for four people comfortably to sleep, cozy breakfast for four at the big table and after the things of the day a great retreat to sign up for the "night hike" to relax and freshen up. So housed was the Lecce vacation in South Italy, an absolute win! As the day of departure was the battery of one of the motorcycles too weak to start, helped the jump start cable from Gianluca. Thanks again also for it.

Great location on the edge of the centro storico. Good restaurants, coffee shops, bars close by. Parking in the street (though it's not always easy to park as the road is narrow and there are cars parked both sides) Apartment is spacious, well appointed and beautifully decorated. The loft bedroom is a real feature. Gianluca is a great host, providing lots of local information and always available to answer any questions. Only downside is the bathroom. Shower is quite small, though there is an outdoor shower which would be perfect in summer. I'd highly recommend staying here. I wouldn't hesitate staying here again if I returned to Lecce

We enjoyed our visit and felt welcomed by Gianluca. The living space was wonderful and we appreciated the design aesthetic. Gianluca provided great information about the city and restaurant and museum recommendations. We had a couple of questions that were quickly responded to via email. We loved walking around the city and found it centrally located for day trips. Thank you.

Gianluca is a helpful and genuinely likeable person. The apartment U-shaped, split between two-levels and the light well doubles as an open-air shower. The natural/electrical lighting is good and the space is very comfortable to hang out in and relax. The kitchen was stocked which makes you feel very much at home. The location is great. We were able to drive up to the unit to drop our things off, and then park on the street a very short distance away (4 minutes walking). The historic centre is 2 minutes walking from the unit and is very lively for a couple of days of exploration. Also, the less touristic neighorhoods are very close by on foot. We spent time in both areas, and there are some good restaurants/bars/cafes nearby. The location is also a very good starting-point for regional day-trips by car. We took full advantage and visited surrounding cities and had some relaxed beach days too. We both very much recommend the apartment as a great place to stay. Gianluca is genuinely very thoughtful and responsive host. Full disclosure....there was one totally uncontrollable/unforeseeable event that was a bit of a relaxation killer. We rented the apartment for 6 nights and 4 nights were completely mellow. On the 5th night it rained, and we noticed moisture dripping near the bathroom door frame on the lower floor at 8pm. We went to dinner and when we returned back about 10pm, the breaker was thrown (we had left a light on while we were out) and there was quite a bit of water in the unit. Luckily the floor sloped toward the bathroom and it was mostly contained there. We called Gianlucca. By this time water was leaking at the upper-floor block joints along the vault-line near the bed. He responded immediately and came over to check the exterior downspout what he thought might be blocked and causing the problem, which he then cleaned it out. The rain stopped and we all felt the issue had been resolved. Unfortunately it was not, and long-story short - later that night around 4am, much more water came in on both levels, breaker thrown, etc. We contacted Gianluca immediately, moved all our things downstairs by candlelight and tried to sleep through the din. It was a mess, we were exhausted, but luckily were able to find a very affordable bnb nearby on short notice. Both of us are architects, and we think the water was most likely due to a pipe leak/blocked drainage in the adjacent building. That means that there was nothing Gianluca could have done to avoid what happened, and we think he handled everything correctly, calmly and with great humor. (100% reachable, responsive, looking for alternative hotels, 2-night cash-refund, and he even showed up with pastries in the morning :) It was completely unforeseeable and we are confident that he will resolve the building issue correctly before the next guests arrive. It really is a lovely apartment and Gianluca is a great...

We had an absolutely amazing stay in Lecce!! The apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. All the amenities you could need are provided and Marco (Gianluca's co-host) was simply incredible. He met us upon our arrival and took the time to walk us around the city pointing out important sites to see and recommending places to eat and things to do. We have never had an Airbnb host that was so willing to share their time and knowledge. We appreciated that gesture immensely!! The apartment is literally 2 minutes walk to the very center of Lecce and could not be more perfect. We really fell in love with Lecce - it has so much to offer, the city is small enough to comfortably walk everywhere and the people are warm and wonderful!! We will absolutely recommend this apartment to our friends and family and can't wait to return again! Thank you Marco and Gianluca!

We had a wonderful stay here. While we didn't meet Ivana (this time!) Gianluca was fantastic and took great care of us. He met us at the station, and drove us to the apartment. It is beautiful. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor shower; it came in very handy as we spent a lot of time at various beaches. There were a few times we had questions for Gianluca, and he was always very quick to respond by text, or to offer to come by if we needed him. The location of the apartment is (URL HIDDEN) very quiet for sleeping, yet it is very close to everything you could want. Days that we stayed in Luca (as opposed to leaving town for a day trip) we were able to have all of our meals at home. Previous posts mentioned problems with the internet connection, but we didn't experience that, so I'm sure it's been resolved. I should add that the public transportation for the entire region is really good, and we did not require a car. We will be back for sure, and have already recommended this apartment to many friends.

Hey Cinzia, Thanks for staying in your home, we felt welcome and greatly enjoyed the beautiful roof terrace and our room .. The breakfast was really a gift Heeeeerlijk :) hahaha. You and your husband are super welcoming and everything looks neat clean and tidy. Thank you for Geode worry .. With regards, Anneloes

Cinzia offers its terrace magical experience of a genuine hospitality: warmth, care, pleasure of sharing and exchange. Poetry environments, tranquility, privacy, passion for good food ... We felt welcomed and pampered. And I do not add much to not spoil the surprise .... A preto Cinzia! And thank you for everything Silvia and Ottavio

We were warmly welcomed and shown around. The terrace is out of this world and we were lucky with the weather so could be out there a lot. Great location. Breakfast every morning.

Although the room is quite simple, and the rooftop breakfast is they are simply perfect! :) I recommend this accommodation, although I admit it was enough (see extremely) difficult to sleep without air conditioning in this heat, the single fan could not make it less stuffy. It was also a shame that we have not met Cinzia, even if his son were graciously welcomed us.

Cynthia is a friendly and helpful host. We also prepared a very good breakfast. The room is like a nest on the roofs, but little attention to detail, like the whole house for that matter. The terrace has a beautiful view of almost 360 degrees. We had breakfast there. Perfect location in the city center and 10 minutes walk from the train station. We'll be back again ...

Location and perfect hosts! The room is fully reflected in the description and photos of. E 'center, a few steps from the main streets of the city square and the cathedral. Therefore it is a bit 'awkward to get dirrettamente car (the downtown streets are very narrow) and very close there is a' broad way with public parking (for a fee). Cynthia has been a host friendly and amenable. Upon our arrival gave us a map of the area and an entire city and advised us on what to do / where to eat. More than ample breakfast, served at the time we agreed. Full freedom of entry / exit from the house. I recommend it especially to those who do not plan to stay long in Lecce but still want to fully enjoy the city!

We were 5 nights at Cinzia u u her family have felt very comfortable. The roof terrace is a dream & breakfast also :-) all decorated very nicely ... the location is perfect, right in the centro storico, nevertheless quiet and also the Station is within walking distance in about 5 minutes! The small apartment on the roof terrace is functional, clean and the bathroom new. We love coming back and the accommodation highly recommend !!!

Very warm welcome, many message exchanges to show us the sights to see, the weather! Location in the historic center and yet quiet Very nice terrace that can be enjoyed in good weather. Sleeping on a sofa. Hearty and varied breakfast, beautifully presented.

We loved this cosy little cave of an apartment! It was clearly furnished and designed with love, and was situated in such a good location for accessing the old town. The bedroom was magical, and the roof terrace was a lovely place for breakfast/a drink. Gaetano was an excellent host, he gave us a detailed run though of recommendations and tips for Ostuni and beyond, and to be fair, the only bad meal we had was when we ate at a place not recommended, as everywhere else was closed. The local bakery, which is pretty much next door, was amazing, as was the eating experience at La Locanda del Macellaio, a butchers come restaurant, where you choose your meat from the fridge, and wait for them to cook it for you. Very reasonably priced. Would stay again if we ever returned to Ostuni!

We had a lovely stay in Gaetano's cozy abode. Best sleep in Italy! Very comfy bed, pillows and duvet! Great advice on the surroundings. Lovely terrace..Greatly appreciate all the extras he left for us , coffee, biscuits jams, refreshments, soaps.. He was very flexible with check out as well. Grazie Mille! Xx Michelle & Stephen

Great apartment and perfect experience

Excellent stay. Host communicates regularly and timely. Location is perfect and the lodging itself is as magical and beautiful as described. Highly recommended!

What an amazing apartment By far the best we have stayed at n Italy It was as beautiful as my Own home and was tasteful in All ways perfect location walking everywhere Our host was do helpful with all our questions Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting the area

A lovely spacious flat with every detail thought through. The apartment is also in an excellent location to see the beautiful ostuni. Gaetano was super helpful and accommodating with good tips for the area. Highly recommend.

OSTUNI ...... Magical, wonderful, friendly, must see place! The house where we stayed me and my boyfriend Mark and 'a treat, perfect on everything, a little love nest located in the historical center of Ostuni! Gaetano .... What a great guy! Nice and friendly attentive to everything that a guest needs! If you decide to take a trip in the beautiful Puglia you can not switch between Ostuni then contact Gaetano and 'really a super host! To all of you happy holidays !!!

Casetta feature but tastefully furnished and equipped with all comfort. Gaetano kind, helpful and very good counselor. Unforgettable experience.

Loredana and her Trullino are cute !!! Perfect location, perfect Trulli and complete of all, very fresh and the shower in the private terrace and super magic !!! Thanks for the great experience!

This was a fantastic place to stay. The trullo was really beautiful and very nicely decorated inside. Loredana was a very friendly and welcoming host. She showed us everything we needed and made us feel completely at home. We stayed in 5 different places on our trip to Italy and this was definitely our favourite. The outside shower is great, but there is a (very compact) shower inside if you really don't fancy it! Thanks!

We arrived Alberobello at night, Loredana lives in Bari, she left the key somewhere for us. We were lucky, two local ladies gave us a ride from the station to Loredana's Trullo.We spent a wonderful night at the sleepy town and enjoyed the next day. It was amazing experience for us to stay at a Trullo, the vernacular architecture I learned a lot from books. It is warm in night and cool in daytime, the space is very cosy.The next day Loredana came to pick us up, on the way to Bari, she showed us the amazing town Polignano and spent about two hours there together with us, we became friends. Big thank to her, hope we can host her in China in the future!

Lori's trullo was so cute. Clean, well-decorated, and comfortable. And the outdoor shower is a thing of true beauty, especially at night in the rain! She gave great recommendations for the town and everything was just lovely. Highly recommend a stay here. FYI that there is no WiFi, but that was fine for us. :)

Alberobello is such a gorgeous little village & where else would you stay but in your very own Trullo! Loredana's Trullo is an easy walk to the touristic part of town full of restaurants, bars and of course Trulli. It is set up with everything you could need for a short stay. The outdoor shower is fabulous (outdoors but completely private) & Loredana was helpful providing directions & restaurant recommendations. If you're planning a longer stay the lack of wifi may be an issue but for us for one night only it was a lovely break & well suited to the laid back feel of this village.

While Loredana texted us that she couldn't greet us onarrival , we were sorry to not meet her at all as we had to leave early the next morning. But...things happen unexpectedly. Her house was the cutest of all our accommodation places and we would love to stay there again. The outside shower was an experience!

Probably the cutest place I've found on airbnb. Clean, lovely and stylish, you definitely want to stay there. The outside shower is outstanding. The only thing missing is the Wi-Fi

We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay in Loredana's gorgeous trullo and would have loved to have been able to stay longer. The trullo is in a fabulous location - it is close to the centre city so it is a very short walk there, but just far enough away from the main tourist area so that there is parking available nearby and you get a taste of the real Alberobello - think elderly local folk sitting outside their front door chatting late into the night and neighbours cleaning their front steps in the morning. Just lovely. The trullo itself is homely and gorgeous. It is clear that Loredana has put a lot of thought into both the decor and practicality of the trullo, with no little detail missed. We particularly appreciated the breakfast goodies left for us to enjoy and the warm outdoor shower under the stars was a highlight. Highly recommended.

Fernando was a very helpful host. He provided tips/suggestions on areas to visit in Lecce as well as nearby cities (e.g. Otranto). His apartment is centrally located, and it had everything we needed. The walk to the main square is also nice.

It was the cleanest, freshest giuse all of m

Fernando housse si the perfect place to discover Lecce. I counsel everyone to beautiful holidays.

Fernando is very nice and very welcoming! His house is cozy is very well positioned. There, everything is sweet.

Our experience in the apartment Fernando was very good. It is located in an excellent point of the beautiful historical center of Lecce and has everything you need to spend several days. A full kitchen, a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. Besides Fernando is extremely attentive and know recommend where to shop, where to eat and where to get the best wines of Salento. We were very happy with our stay in Lecce.

Nice small apartment, excellent location, superb host. Definitely a top choice.

A super welcome from Fernando, helpful and friendly. The studio is perfect for two people and is in a great location!

We absolutely enjoyed staying at Fernando's place. The apartment is in the historic centre of Lecce, yet in a very quiet part of town. Fernando gave us some useful tips on restaurants and beaches nearby. Would recommend to anyone!

Loved the stay, loved the aircon and loved the city

This bnb is great. Everything was clean. The place was just lovely. And the location was perfect- in the old town. Except that the internet was poor and we could not lock our doors, but anyway the stay was pleasant! Recommend it

We had a really good stay at Danilo's apartment. It's a nice neighborhood, located in the old town. Everything is close. The apartment is clean and lovely furnished. We would stay here again!

Hip place in the centre.

Apartment very well decorated in the center of Lecce, I recommend!

Interesting room and location with some nice creative touches. The location was very central and convenient, though a bit noisy at night. The only drawback was the other guest coming home at 4.00 am every night! Apart from that it was just great.

Excellent location, cute place with a real local atmosphere. If you want privacy though, get the entire place, e.g. bathroom coincides with the entrance to the terrace, room opposite the main door (the one I got) has windows to the common area etc. but location compensates for it!

Great stay at Caminanti apartment. The room was great. Location was great. There was a good amount of privacy, especially for a private room with shared kitchen and bathroom. Definitely would recommend and would stay again.

If you want a truly rustic enjoyable experience, then this is for you. We loved the setting down a lane in Carmela and Tomasso's smallholding set in the heart of the lovely countryside, a mile or so outside Cisternino, a white hilltop town. This is a lovely, well-furnished room where you can enjoy al fresco breakfasts including delicious homemade cake. We were made very welcome and communicated with each other very well, despite our mutual inability with each other's language. We did not have a car so Tomasso very kindly collected us from and returned us to the station with our luggage. There's no local place to eat, so you have to plan your evenings accordingly. The (relative) remoteness added rather than detracted to our enjoyment. A lovely, peaceful place to stay. We thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Thank you Carmela and Tomasso for a great stay.

The trullo is really beautiful and well restored ! We had a nice and warm welcome . The breakfast with homemade biscuits, homemade jam and toasts on the Terrace was great. The homemade cake + fresh bottle of water waiting for us in the room was a really nice attention ! Thank you very much !!

Thomas and Carmen are great hosts! We were picked up by car from Cisternino, Sunday morning we were woken up with a good coffee and homemade jam ... The trullo is nice and clean, with many details olive wood handmade by Thomas. That said, among the chatter and the silence of the surrounding countryside, the living from their reconciles with the world!

Our hosts were wonderfully welcomed us and give us valuable advice for our stay! The setting is beautiful, the delicious lunch. A little piece of paradise.

We had a great experience at this beautiful trulli. A big thank you to Nicoletta and his family for their warm welcome and good advice that allowed us to better target our visits. The status of their trulli is ideal, central to explore this beautiful region of Puglia ...

Halcyon days in a nice place, beautiful, beautifully restored and furnished to honor the actual construction. Excellent company of the owners, Tom and Carmen, friendly and interesting! Yummy sweets and Carmen Thomas is a brilliant all-rounder! Really a wonderful stay, we were sorry to just leave! :)

Sono stati giorni fantastici; abbiamo visto tanti posti nel mondo, ma questo resterà nella top 10; Il trullo è curato nei minimi dettagli e si trova a pochi minuti da Cisternino!!; Gli host sono persone squisite, e davvero disponibili.. Consiglio vivamente per chiunque voglia vivere una vacanza rilassante It's been an amazing week; we've stayed in many hotels and b&b all aroubd the world and this is definitely one of our favourite, i have to say; The traditional Trullo is really cute and it's just 5 minutes to the renowned Cisternino village; the hosts are really kind and always available to suggest you what to visit; i highly recommend to stay in La Gufa to anyone who's looking to experience something truly unique and relaxing

Great welcome from Carmen and Thomas. Il Trullo '600 is fully renovated and corresponds closely to the photos shown, with the surprise that the beautiful light sculptures made of wood and stone in the Trullo are the work of the landlord Thomas. Highly recommended as the best place to visit the Val d'Itria.

This unspoiled paradise leaves us with a stream of positive emotions. Thank you for your kind welcome.

awesome....fantastic spot and what lovely hosts! We had the whole place literally to ourselves and sleeping in a trullo is the best rest one can get. If you like forests, nature, sun and glorius people, then this is the place for you. Yet the sights of the valley are at your fingertips. Definitely will come back next year for much longer time!

Exquisite place: a secluded cluster of trulli with a great swimming pool. Comfortable beds and good kitchen facilities. The hosts are lovely people, respectful of privacy but also attentive when required. We asked for vegetarian food and the dinners were exceptionally good. A great find.

We were welcomed by Andreas' father who showed us to our trulli. The family prepared for us the most delicious meal with most of the ingredients from their own garden. It is a wonderful location for exploring Puglia. Andrea gave us useful information about some of the nicer areas to visit and even where to find the cheaper car parking. We had hired a car which made exploring easier, though they do have bikes available if you prefer to be more active. There is a lovely pool with plenty of chairs, loungers and umbrellas. Around the grounds there are lots of lovely areas to sit and read, take in the surroundings or listen to the piece and quite. The trulli itself was well equipped with cooker, coffee pot and plenty of pans etc. It was lovely to sit outside in the evening. Breakfast is provided in a separate breakfast room with a good variety of cereal, bread, home made biscuits, home grown fruit etc. There was always plenty. If you do decide to stay I would recommend booking a meal. It was possibly the best meal in our 10 day stay in Puglia. Thank you!

Trullies were a great discovery and a wonderful experience. The houses are small but very cosy and clean - everything you need is there. The swimming pool is also very nice but the surrounding nature and the serenity of the village is the most amazing factor if you want to spend a quiet week in a unique place. The beautiful Alberobello is minutes away and we went there on bikes offfered by Andrea. The dog, donkeys, cats were as friendly as the hosts - Andrea, Guseppe and nonna Maria who cooks and teaches fantastic meals. Andrea is really a sweet and friendly guy, we enjoyed his presence and services. We would definetely recommend the place to families or groups of friends.

Beautiful place :)

We had a blissful week staying at Trulli del Bosco with our two young boys. Andrea and his parents made us feel so welcome. Their warmth and the beauty of their land, it's surroundings, and the well maintained Trullo we stayed in all made a wonderful start to our holiday - we didn't want to leave. The house was charming, very simple but had what we needed. The pool was a lovely place to relax, always clean and peaceful. We couldn't resist eating in their new communal dining room overlooking the hills - Andrea's mum Antonia cooked us three delicious meals there. It's a very special place, carefully looked after by a really lovely family. We will definitely be going back.

The home of the father of Andrea's nice. photos are not misleading but the environment is less clear and slick than the pictures (but it is true that we were there in late October) Trulli are very small houses: Ideal for 2, but 4 it is nothing short of a common room small. Promiscuity is total.

My wife and I had a great time at Benedetta's. The home looked great in the photos, but the Trulli is truly (no pun intended) impressive in person, and definitely worth seeing if you are in the area. The entire space was very clean, large, and comfortable. Breakfast was great, and there were many amenities. The location was easily accessible, but still outside of town so you could get a nice picturesque view of the area. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your kindness and enthusiasm, Benedetta and Giovanni. Everything was perfect just like I had dreamed it in the snowy Budapest even in January. It was the reality what I've seen on the photos. If you would like a unique, romantic and peaceful holiday, where you can count the stars on the rooftop terrace in the nightly sky, go in trullo of Benedetta in the heart of Apulia! This trullo was fantastic, we felt like in a fairy tale. It was authentic with village design but modern comfort. We loved it very much! When we opened our eyes in the morning we began to guess what kind of delicacy waits us on the terrace-table. Giovanni made it and in every rich and fresh breakfast was someting new or surprise but all of them was from the garden and farm or just from the oven of Giovanni's and Benedetta's Mamma. We didn't expect such a sumptuous breakfast. Thanks again. Magdi 2014 May

Very lovingly restored. Absolutely quiet location. Fantastic terrace. To the sea 20 minutes. Beautiful villages in the immediate vicinity.

We had a wonderful time at Benedetta's Trulli just outside of Cisternino in Puglia. It is a beautiful and peaceful place, and we enjoyed the tranquility and rural atmosphere, along with the friendship and hospitality of Benedetta and her family. Benedetta's mum and brother both helped provide our lovely, fresh breakfasts that we ate outside in the sun in the courtyard each morning; and one night we cooked and ate at home upstairs on the rooftop overlooking the local countryside, enjoying the sunset, the bright evening light and the stars (and some local wines of course). The Trulli was in a great location, close to many places to visit. We were able to do some long walks on back roads and lanes between some of the villages, enjoying the local landscapes and the Trullis. We enjoyed our morning chats with Benedetta, discussing our plans for the day, talking about where to eat, and more. The family's friendship and hospitality helped enormously in our enjoyment of our stay. Benedetta's clear directions on how to get there made it very easy to find - not like our GPS who could not find the right place! Benedetta was a wonderful host, and her Trulli B&B is highly recommended.

B&B Pietraviva was in a lovely setting on a working farm and very centrally located for all the main sites in the Itria Valley area - Cisternino, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca and the coast. The accommodation was very comfortable and unique, being a converted Trulli. It had everything you would need for a self catering holiday both inside and outside with the terrace and sun roof. The breakfast delivered fresh each morning was a great way to start the day. Benedetta, her brother Giovanni and the rest of the family were very welcoming. I left with a huge handful of walnuts which had fallen fresh from the tree and been gathered by Benedetta's father that morning - yummy! Hopefully one day I can return and enjoy this wonderful place again. Jennifer

Our stay at Benedetta was fantastic! The trullo is very nice, as well as the terrace above. Benedetta and her parents are lovely and very welcoming, the breakfasts were really great! The surroundings are very pretty, around the house (fields of olive trees and hills) and in small towns around (with very good local produce). Congratulations and thank you Benedetta, I hope we can come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of staying in a historic B&B Trullo. B&B Pietriaviva was clean & nicely furnished. Benedetta and her family were kind & helpful, the breakfast was great with omelettes, cakes, pastries, homemade jams... lots of variety on offer all set out for the guests. The trullo is less than a five minute drive to the town of Cisternino and serves as a great base to explore the surrounding towns.

Lovely and genuine trulli place. Rooms are confortable and well customized.

Maria is lovely - cheerful and dobrozhedatelna. Will try to help in every way, but note that you will need to communicate with her only in Italian. Trulli - really authentic, but outside of the summer season in her chilly and damp. Water, food and a room heated by gas. Very rescues additional outdoor shower and grill for barbecue. Overall, happy solitude and pretty town near Ostuni. Note that the address in Trulli will not allow you to find it through a browser, and satellites in these places will give you a stray.

You must stay here!!! The kindest people you can meet in Italy. We are here for 5 weeks and met Ugo and Maria and wanted them to adopt us. Such warm people. The place is perfect. Very secluded and quiet, yet 5 min to the heart of Ostuni and great food. We foraged for food, asparagus and fruits and veggies on their property amongst giant olive trees. Pllleeeaaase so yourself a favor and stay here. Look no further honestly. Thank you Maria and Ugo. Thank you for your friendship and the research you did on our family and your many gifts in the fridge and preparing us food and herbs!! You're the best.

This is a lovely, experiential place to stay. The trullo is well equipped with cooking equipment, a heater and comfy bedding. It is set in a beautiful olive tree orchard, surrounded by similar land and nature. It's well looked after, clean and comfortable for a couple. We loved having hot outdoor showers, lighting fires, and enjoying breakfasts on the terrace. You definitely need a car to get around, and Ostuni is a 5 minute drive for restaurants, a supermarket and it's beautiful historic centre. This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a little 'glamping' in Puglia. Ugo and Maria are wonderful, kind and generous hosts. They are knowledgable of the area, and very happy to help should you have any questions or problems. We were very lucky to be welcomed with huge Italian hospitality when we arrived, with Maria preparing a lovely lunch for us and then taking us to forage for wild asparagus. You can be certain they will make sure your stay is enjoyable.

What an amazing experience it was to stay in the beautiful trulli! Maria & Ugo kindly came to meet us in Ostuni as the property is hard to find. The trulli is compact but has all you need & it was one of the nicest places I've stayed, we both had such a wonderful time. Maria & Ugo were friendly & helpful & provided us with pasta etc along with water & even beer. We could even eat fresh cactus fruit from the garden. Would 100% recommend staying here however as its 5km outside of Ostuni on a dark, remote road it would be much easier to have a car.

The reception was very welcoming and for the first Board was worried that since our arrival was very late. The trullo is beautiful and it's all there, what you need. The bathroom is very small, but that did not bother as we always used the outdoor shower with warm water (much nicer). The property is huge, with many olive trees and cactus. For someone who is looking for a special, just right. Thank you again.

A fun adventure in the cave. Highly recommended

Very responsive and very friendly person. The trip was more enjoyable. I highly recommend the accommodation.

We stayed for three nights and wanted to stay longer. It was cosy, peaceful and beautifully situated amongst olive trees. Would very happily stay again.

We had a great time. The apartment is clean cozy and has a Creative furniture. We liked it

The room was just as it was listed and we were pleasantly surprised to discover there was also a nice shared roof terrace. The location is ideal, really central to the old town of Lecce and very close to several great restaurants and bars; we would also recommend paying a visit to Pizza & Co. which boasts the most amazing pizza slices. The host was very helpful, arriving early to meet us. I would highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Lecce, a great experience all round :)

Perfect ! The room is very comfortable, very clean and warm. The part commum is really ok, with the "terass", cucina, and the bathroom. We just slept one night, but we will advice for the others traveller, because the welcoming is very friendly and nice. Thanks

Central location, comfortable and equipped with a unique decor. The managers are very nice and helpful. After a short time I've felt this at home :)

Lecce is a beautiful town and radiant! The stay in bnb reflected the character of the town! Beautiful, bright, young, practical and in the city center! Certainly I return to Lecce and definitely still stay at this bnb!

Danilo The apartment is really very good location, spotless. Danilo was very friendly. I recommend !

Nice host, perfect location, sweet appartement, nothing more needed

We had a pleasant stay in danilo's room , even though we booked a room he basically gave us the whole apartment , it was so much better from its pictures and also so clean and beautiful. The location was perfect in the middle of historical places and lots of shops and restaurants around.

The trullo was perfect, with everything you expected! A high note in a place meravilioso! Thank you

This adorable trullo was just lovely and had everything I needed! It's located in a beautiful space in the country (about 5 minutes drive into the city). It was a very peaceful place to stay and Antonella was extremely sweet and friendly. She was helpful with all my questions and needs. I'd recommend this apartment/trullo to anyone visiting Alberobello or nearby towns!

What a wonderful place! The trulli is darling,very clean and cozy. There is a wonderful Terrace where you can have breakfast or just relax. The home is surrounded by Olive farms. Very quiet and beautiful. We took walks around the place and it was as if you where in an enchanted little world. Mrs. Salto was so very helpful and super friendly. She provided breakfast and help with directions and anything else we needed. The place has a parking pace which was a plus! Very happy with this place and I recommend it to anyone.

Thank you so much x Antonella this wonderful experience !! I, my husband and my two children, we had a great time in his trullo !!! The place is nothing short of enchanting, and its great availability !! The good and plentiful !!! If we return to Alberobello ... we will definitely stop by her !!

The house was just perfect. Beautiful environment, delicate decoration and had everything one may need during a stay of a few days there. The trulli are somehow magical, and this one was a perfect example. Our interaction with the hosts was limited, but Antonella was very helpful, friendly and kind. Have already recommended this house to friends in Italy and we will hopefully come back!

Antonella met us at the agreed time, showed us the way to Trullo and went through the place the same with us. She was very nice and accommodating and made sure that we were comfortable. It was starting to get a little cold in October, so she had turned on the heat for us and rang the next day to ensure that we were comfortable and did not freeze. The pictures give an accurate description of the place. Very cozy, properly cleaned and with a shower that has real hot water and pressure! It is perhaps a little less than one might think - there are only cozy, but it can get crowded if there is bad weather. Trullo is beautifully situated among olive groves a short distance from Alberobello center. Theoretically, you can walk into the center, but it is a bit far and no sidewalks so I would bookmarks Recommend to use a car or bicycle. You can park inside the property. Patio with dining area is screened from the road and bordered by an orchard and olive grove. Peaceful and idyllic! Recommended!

The trullo was such a cute and unique place to stay. The boat kept it spotless and also provided a basket of goodies for breakfast. The property grounds were beautiful as well, with a backyard filled with olive trees and vineyards! It was about a 5 minute drive to town and I'm a quiet neighborhood. I wish I could have stayed for one more night! Highly recommended.

With a friend we stayed only one night in the trulli of Antonella but was enough to innamorarcene. He welcomed the mother giving us all the information to our stay. The trullo is beautiful, with all the comfort and furnished with great care both inside and outside where, thanks to a wonderful sunny day, we could have breakfast with the delicious cherries found in the fridge along with other things made available . The location is ideal for those who want to visit the town of Alberobello and at the same time enjoy the quiet and beautiful landscapes of Puglia. Stra recommended!

I agree with all the other reviewers that the view is very nice as it is overlooking the sea from a high ground, I also agree that the hosts are nice and available but unfortunately I had a bad experience in this location as it is very hard to get proper sleep for several reasons: - Noise: I knew that the bathrooms are shared and I had no problem with it but every time someone flushes the toilets you hear it in the room. So you could easily wake up at 6:30 by 2 or 3 toilet flushes from your neighbors. You could also hear the sound of the dishes on the upper floor while someone is in the kitchen. - Insects: I appreciate that the house is in the mountain surrounded by trees and gardens but insects were really everywhere. Several types of insects. I started by killing a couple of Mosquitos when I first entered the room then I had to kill and throw out 2 different types of crawling insects one of them looking like a worm more than 7 cm tall. My surprise was to discover in my suitcase the next day in my second hotel a worm that went into my clothes.... - Smell in the bedroom was either due to a product against insects or due to the insects I killed but in any case it was a nightmare. - Quality of the bed: bed was very hard and pillow tiny. I am not the type of person that complains and I am used to sleep on couches but it is hard not to say anything when I woke up twice with a back pain and my girlfriend with a neck pain. I was in a hurry to leave that place even though the view is truly amazing, but this is not enough to make your stay comfortable. I am surprised that no one mentioned any of those things in the previous reviews.

The house is raelly nice, exaclty as showed in pictures. Amedeo is a perfect host, lovely, always available and he gives good information about restaurants and places to visit around. The brakfast is very good, plentiful, with home made cakes and local foods. Everithings was nice, sightseen, terrrace and you can use a shared bright beautifull living room. We had a perfect stay and we highly recommend thy beautifull B6B. Thank you to Amedeo! Gianni & Elisa

Superb B & B with a paradise location! It is clean and so wonderfully quiet with a view of the sea. You can move around the house freely and relax. Amadeo is great and uncomplicated. He cares for the well-being of his guests and is a great chef! Every morning we were surprised with a freshly baked cake!

An absolutely perfect experience. Amedeo's place is tucked into a lovely mountain in Castro, with breathtaking views of the sea. Extremely clean and spacious, every single day a cleaner was in to freshen and tidy up the space. Gorgeous views from the room, and lots of space for privacy from the other guests (who were also lovely!). The breakfast spread is unreal… Not only are their homemade cakes, but everything else you could possibly imagine… I didn't need to eat again until dinner! Amedeo was extremely helpful with directions and suggestions for the area. Wonderful family, environment, and stay. An absolute must if you make your way down to Puglia's coast.

The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our arrival at Amedeo’s airbnb was a pleasant surprise. What a fantastic and well decorated house, with a lot of space, a beautiful room with private terrace, and above all, from every terrace a fantastic view on the Adriatic sea! In the morning Amedeo provided a buffet breakfast with fruit, homemade pastry and jam, good coffee, etc. He is a very attentive host, who makes time for his guests. We hope to come back to his b&b once, then we will certainly take enough time to relax and enjoy the nice environment of Castro!!

Perfect location close to the historical center of the lovely little town of Castro. Excellent breakfast with a view. Flawless communication with Amadro. We had an amazing time, perhaps the best b&b i've ever been. I recommand it ++

We were at Amedeo one week holiday, the house is wonderful and the view while having breakfast on the terrace is simply fantastic. Amedeo is a very nice and good host, the breakfast was jedenTag a surprise and very tasty. The house is situated in a very quiet location and we were able to let your soul and with plenty of rest again regain strength for everyday life. (However, we were here in November, as it is in the summer, we do not know). The rooms are very clean and furnished with everything you need. The kitchen is functional and you can cook super therein. In the original it looks the same, if not even more beautiful :)) Well, if you go on holidays there, which you have a car available, or at least a bike! So you can see the wonderful coves which are anywhere to swim and enjoy the beautiful places and colorful markets here and explore. Thanks to Amedeo and his family for the great time!

Point of the perfect home for all needs and ideal for those who need to relax, for those who are passing through or on vacation. Close to the historic center, railway, port, airport and supermarkets. tidy house, beautiful and clean. Emanuela was very kind, helpful and very understanding for any need. Price honest. Thanks so much for everything :) 10+

The spacious rooms in via XX Septembre is to explore an ideal starting punk to Apulia. Bus and train are within a few minutes. The hostess is expressed helpful and friendly. The device Room is original, in short, a neat, charming Old Town Apartment

My stay at Emanuela's place was lovely. Emanuela helped me with all my questions. The location is very good, close to the station. The room was great. Everything was clean. I had to leave early, but Emanuela provided me with a very nice breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

Emanuela and her home were great! The home is even a lot nicer then on the photos, it has a magic charm to it and the decorations are really creative. Privacy is guaranteed as the room and bathroom are a bit moved away from her main living space. She took care of us, prepared breakfast at the times we agreed and was really flexible about it. In case you need advise how to get around she is always ready to help. Me and my boyfriend were really happy there and it made our experience in Italy authentic. We for sure recommend!

Very nice room very close to the train station, much bigger than I thought! Very clean, not so noisy. Emanuela was a super friendly host! Recommended!

Emanuela is very friendly, the apartment is very well located and has great charm especially in interior decoration. It is great and we had access to the kitchen freely all she left with her son the night where we slept at home.

This room is right downtown and convenient to visit the city but also move in the neighborhood, a stone's throw from the port, the station and the main bus stop. Emanuela was very kind and extremely available and his house is really pretty.

This was a fabulous place. In the centre but only a 15 minute bus ride from the airport. Emanuela made us feel very welcome and included a delicious breakfast. I would recommend this very highly.
