If you are a seasoned traveller looking for a traditional experience of Locorotondo and the surrounding region, this is the place for you. This 4 bedroom trulli is surrounding by towering trees. The property itself is huge (about 3-5 acres) with another (2 bedroom?) trulli onsite. The second trulli is accessible by an alternate gate. We were alone onsite for the full 2 weeks with occasional brief visits from Angelo and his lovely wife Felica who maintain the place. Take your time to listen and be friendly with them both and you might get a nice reward of fresh eggs! They only speak Italian, so be ready!
The main house is large and comfortable. The kitchen is functional with 3 out of the 4 burners in working condition. The kitchen is perfect for 2 cooks and the sink and fridge were in good working condition. The kitchen and bathrooms are fed by 5 gallon hot water tanks. We didn't operate the heater or the air conditioner but the ample windows provided lovely air flow. Make sure that the screens are secure because the mosquitos tend to be quite active.
The location provides easy access to local towns--perfect for open market shopping, cooking at home and long afternoons by the phenomenal pool enjoying a spritz. Recommend little touches like fresh pillows for the couch and cushions for all outdoor furniture and a fresh cover for the gazebo. The outside retractable awnings and limestone table (for 8) are perfect for evening dinners. Cook a branzino on the grill, enjoy!
