Cisternino Hotel Guide - Bishop's Palace hotels in Cisternino, Italy.

"Pino and Anna were fantastic hosts with such amazing attentionto detail! Such a beautiful location, easy to access many local towns. The tower was very comforable and had everything you could need for your stay. One of the best places we have stayed. Hope to return! Highly recommend!"

"The photos of Angelita's home and the general information about the very charming and welcoming town of Cisternino do not do justice to this vacation rental! My husband and I and our two friends loved it! Overall, there is a serenity and a sense of place at Casa Cecca that is timeless. The high ceilings and cool tiled floors make it a perfect summertime outdoor/indoor space. The eat in kitchen is compact, yet workable, although a microwave would be a welcome addition to the stove top and toaster oven. There is only one washroom, but it is beautifully remodelled and has a luxurious rainhead shower. During the day and on fine evenings the long wooden table under a pergola in the backyard is perfect for apero and alfresco meals. There are plenty of chairs and loungers!The jacuzzi was not much in use as our mid to late September days were cooler and we were routinely touring all the notable "white cities" as well as nearby beach and historic towns. We travelled to Ostuni, Alborobella, Locotorondo, Bari, Porto Caesarea, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce, and Matera. Phenomenal day trips, great food, and history lessons, galore! Staying in the area of those special structures, the Trulli, was a daily delight!Angelita was a very caring and responsive host, and always addressed any concerns or requests that we expressed. Overall, we had great Apulian wine and food experiences, met lovely locals, and enjoyed being a short uphill walk from our comfortable home to Cisternino."

"Very characterful property set in quiet countryside. The approach to the property was quite difficult along an unlit,quite uneven narrow track. We arrived in darkness and almost crashed our hire car into the stone walls bounding the track. We did venture. Out each day but even in daylight we had drive extremely cautiously to navigate our way to the main roads. The outside space ,particularly the seating areas and barbecue area were very good so we cooked and ate in each evening.The pool was small but served it’s purpose to cool off during sunbathing."

"We had such a wonderful two week stay in this lovely house. Beautiful pool and views in a very peaceful rural setting. Loved visiting all the hilltop towns, fantastic food and the sea. Tracey (the owner) provided so many wonderful and personal recommendations, including restaurants, local shopping, preferred beaches etc - many of which we followed and were all excellent. Highlights included Matera, boat trips, a wonderful small restaurant in Martina Franca, shopping in Cisternino, Ostuni and more!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Trulli Vistas. The house is even better than the photos suggest. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very well equipped. The pool was fabulous and the views from the house are lovely. The house is within 15 minutes of some gorgeous small towns and only a 20 minute drive from the beach. Neil was fantastic and was on hand to answer any questions and offer advice on bike rides, restaurant recommendations and beaches. The bike ride (with bikes delivered to the house) to Locorotondo along the cycle path that runs right next to the house was a highlight - stunning countryside and a relatively easy cycle. Excellent communication from Glenn from the moment we booked to when we arrived with suggestions for places to stop for lunch on the way to Trulli Vistas as well as ideas for where to visit during the rest our stay in Puglia. Thank you! I would highly recommend staying at Trulli Vistas - if you are wondering whether to book then you absolutely should!"

"Beautifully situated in the midst of immaculate gardens at the end of a long, narrow stone-line road, the property created a feeling of peaceful isolation. But the stunning, white-washed towns of the Salento were all short drives away. Cisternino, Locorotondo, Ostuni, Monopoli, Polignano a Mare. Long walks through the neighboring warrens of trulli were a daily pleasure.Leonardo, the owner, was attentive, helpful and friendly, but never intrusive. The place is well appointed and maintained. We will be back."
