Recent guest Brian, from Texas, writes in his family's review:

'We have rented using VRBO in many countries including Australia, U.K., France and Portugal to name but a few. The Trulli property is clearly our favorite and it was extremely difficult to leave.'

Trulli Fantastic
This place has got it all, far enough away from everything to 'trulli' relax, yet close enough to dip into the local highlights to really experience Puglia at its best. I love this place and can't wait to go back. Oh, and the planting around the pool is 'trulli' amazing!

A beautiful trullo in the most amazing setting with everything you could wish for .. An incredible pool, a perfect kitchen, the most comfortable beds, amazing views and sunsets, a shop and restaurant within walking distance, and so many places to visit. Oh, and Hazel, the guest manager was brilliant too. If you're thinking about booking, do it, I'm sure you'll not regret it.

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 Lovely
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glen and Steve's Trulli. The Trulli is well equipped and has everything you need for a great holiday and feels like a home from home rather than a basic holiday rental. Car hire is essential when staying here as the Trulli is down a country lane between Martina Franca and Ostuni. It is a great base for exploring the area. We enjoyed our breakfasts and lunches on the terrace over looking the pool and the lovely views. I would definitely recommend this Trulli to anyone wishing to stay in Puglia.

Truely fantastic Trulil!
Its our 3rd stay at this location. Its just perfect. Everything you need for self catering accommodation and it really has the wow factor outside. Great pool (bit chilly for me but I'm a wimp!) Loads to do in surrounding areas. Check out Martina franca, we're getting married there next year its so special!

Lovely place!
The trulli was perfect and a great experience for us, a family of 4. Great location in a quiet countryside, with comfortable furnishings, well equiped kitchen, and high-quality linens. Central heating was a huge plus (when the outside temperature was in the 50s!). Martina Franca has many great places to eat, and a fun place to be for the "passegiata". Be sure to visit other nearby towns, Lecce, the caves at the Castellana Grotto, and Matera. Puglia is beautiful and so unspoiled by the tourists. Special thanks to Mimmo for his help during (and after) our stay!

A gem.
This trulli is very special, planned with great attention to detail, very clean and well equipped, yet also relaxed and comfortable. We ate our meals on the shady terrace, we swam in the pool in the light of the setting sun, we lounged on the comfy cushions in the pergola, looking over the orchard beyond. The lovely towns and local restaurants all around are a delight, and people everywhere were friendly and helpful as we struggled with our limited Italian. We can't wait to come back to this lovely gem in its beautiful setting.

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.

Quiet Romantic Trulli in a beautiful setting
What an outstanding time we had in an outstanding property. In the hills of the beautiful Puglian countryside. Location is perfect near Ostuni, Ceglie Messipica and Martina Franca. The beach is a short drive away. Terrific 2 bedroom Trulli with all the comforts of home. Very romantic and quiet setting. After a day out exploring the Puglian countryside it is nice to come "home" and enjoy a glass of local vino while sitting in a such a beautiful setting. I high recommend it and the owners really do try to make your stay top notch. May seem off the beaten path to most people from the USA, but you could not ask for more. Loved it!

Great and unique vacation in a Trullo
The Trullo is well equiped, nothing missing, important for us was that the heating system worked perfectly (during nights it gets pretty cold in April). The owners are caring about their customers in a way, which was for us outstandnig and rarely to be found! Everythings was as described and met our expectation in every aspect. Great location for people who like the nature, nothing for party or club goers. The location is also good for making tours, be it Castel del Monte or in the opposite direction, e.g. Lecce. The sea is in about half an hour by car, but in summer the own pool is much more convenient and easier to reach, just some steps. Summary: the Trullo is great and recommendable to friends.

Beautiful house, needs a spring clean
Beautiful property, lovely garden and all amenities. Great position. However, needs a thorough clean. Hairs found in shower drain hole and shower base, grubby elsewhere, particularly kitchen. Dirty cupboards, drawer interiors, front of fridge. Floors in general not perfectly clean, particularly corners. Despite this, a lovely house. For the fairly expensive rates in high season, I expected a little better. Thank you.

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!

A unique experience
We very much enjoyed our stay at this pretty trulli - our first experience in one of these historic dwellings and our first time in Puglia. The pool area and pergola were great and really enhanced the R&R aspect of our stay, much needed as this was the third week of our Italian "tour". The main bedroom in the trulli was a delight - almost like sleeping in a little chapel! Had we had more time and energy we would have hired bikes to make the most of the cycle trail, conveniently situated next to the property but the area was great for exploring the fascinating towns nearby and for sampling the numerous good restaurants. We were very well looked after by Annie, the manager of the trulli who was very helpful regarding recommendation of good restaurants, supermarkets etc. It was also great to meet Glenn who was happy to take on board a few suggestions we made which would have further enhanced our stay, including the provision of more wardrobe facilities for the second bedroom. As there were only 2 of us using the property, this was not a problem but would be for a couple staying.

A cheerful, cozy stay
The Ostuni trulli was clean, comfortable and cozy with all the amenities we could have hoped for.The alcove sitting room off the master bedroom was our favorite little spot to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect on each day. The kitchen was well equipped with everything a traveling chef might look for. It was so pleasing to experience all the nature that surrounds the house--the ancient olive out the kitchen window, the flowering almonds beyond the pool, the irises perkily waving nearby, and the prickly cactus everywhere. The trulli is in a quiet, peaceful area, but it is centrally located and just a short ride to all the charming small towns of the Itria Valley. The Sarolo winery on the next street was a great place to get provisions for the week! The very best feature of the house is one of the owners, Glenn! No matter how many questions we asked him in advance or during our stay (including a desperate "where is the hair dryer?!"), he responded like he was our best friend--delighted to provide any and all information to make our stay wonderful. We would highly recommend this rental to others and hope to return again someday. Donna and Joe, Rhode Island, USA

Didn't want to leave
Our plane was late so we met our host at the designated spot late into the evening. We followed her up the narrow country road to the gate of the trulli, she went in ahead of us and turned on the outside lights. It was magical when the pool and outdoor sitting area were bathed in light, we fell in love with the place immediately. Inside was equally wonderful. To experience trulli living should be on everyones list. The 2 bedrooms were comfy and with lovely white linens and we were pleased to each have our own bathroom. The kitchen is well equiped and we enjoyed eating our dinners on the patio over looking the pool and orchard. We have travelled quite extensively around Italy and were pleased to discover Puglia with all it's uniqueness. The surrounding area has much too see and they are all within easy driving distance. I must admit we spent a few days lounging around the pool instead of exploring but it was a divine diversion. We had communicated with Glenn many times prior to our trip and were so pleased to bump into them at the grocery store, very helpful and congenial hosts. We truly (trulli) loved it here and didn't want to leave.

Beautiful Italian Countryside Retreat
Having stayed in the region previously we knew what it had to offer. We had not, however stayed in a trulli before and it completely exceeded our expectations. The house itself is stunning and full of character whilst having every modern home comfort you could possibly need. The kitchen is amply equipped with plenty of space and the bedrooms are large and airy with extremely comfy beds. Everything is spotless and well maintained. Although it was too early for the pool it was lovely to sit under the pergola enjoying the late spring sunshine. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with olive trees in the surrounding fields. There's a cycle path/track next to the property which is perfect for a walk or bike ride. The towns of Martina Franca, Ostuni, Cisternino & Ceglie are easily accessible by car and all have excellent restaurants and cafes. We also visited the caves at Castellana Grotte which are a must. There is so much to see in the region and Trulli Vista is perfectly located for days and evenings out. Oh and not to forget Annie who met and guided us to the trulli on our arrival. Having lived in the area for many years Annie was full of invaluable information and handy hints. All in all Glenn and Steve have created an idyllic holiday home for families and couples that we will definitely be returning to.

Trulli April 5-8 2023
Lovely stay but weather was not kind to us - very cold and wet - so we couldn’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 ‘mature age’ 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 didn’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.

Truly Magical
We loved the classic simplicity of this stylish and comfortable restoration of a traditional building which has retained many of it original features including the fireplace, stone archways and floors. An elevated position secures you the privacy and open views needed to create the sense of a real escape. The garden is beautifully designed and maintained and brims over with lavender, Oleander, etc and is generally a riot of colour and scent in the Summer. Most of the time we were just happy to lounge and read books either by the private pool or under the light shade of the pergola made supremely comfortable with an array of cushions. Day and night it was a perfect and hard to drag ourselves away from the pool. But you must because there are castles and cathedrals galore here – in an area well known for its architecture, history, cuisine, wine and welcoming people. The countryside is gently rolling in these parts and perfect for cycling and hiking. We were there in June and the wildflowers were at full tilt. This villa is right next to the new cycle route through Puglia which passes over a roman viaduct. We hired bikes from Ostuni which were delivered and collected (details provided by Glenn and Steve) and we ambled our way through the countryside, passing farms, and stopping off for a picnic and the odd bit of lunch time drinking.
