Fantastic in every way. Beautiful location, with a trulli that was so perfectly appointed for anyone wanting to explore the locale. Neil was on-hand as a friendly contact point if the need arose. Thanks guys.
We had a very nice stay at this great Trullo. Everthing was fine and like the description. We enjoyed our time and can absoltely recommend. The pool is awesome.
We spent a week both lazing at the Trulli and exploring the area. The Trulli ticks all the boxes. Lovely pool. Beautiful outdoor area and a perfect location from which to head out.
Beautifully restored Trulli in large grounds, beautiful swimming pool, with plenty of shade when needed. Stunning views from the top of the hill over the Itria valley. Neil the property manager was great and so helpful. All this just 15 mins away from some beautiful “white towns” with excellent restaurants and good markets. Wonderful location for a Puhlian holiday.
We had an amazing 7 Nights at Trulli Vistas. Perfectly located in a quiet part of the Puglian countryside for getting to everywhere you need and want to be. Eating out or at the Trulli gives you the most amazing experience. Couldn't recommend enough.
We had a great experience staying at this property in July. The house was very clean and the pool was fantastic. The place is located close to all major towns and attractions (within 1-2 hours’ drive), perfect as a base for visiting nearby towns. Highly recommended! The communication with the host and manager was timely and clear. Thanks for having us!
The house by itself is wonderful. Pool, land, peace and quiet, all you need for a vacation to remember. We got all that.But what differentiate this place from many others, i am certain, is how you are greated, helped and taken care of. The manager Neal was there when we needed him. From the get go he helped us through small issues even some not related to the house itself. Thank you Neal you were a great host and a big reason why we will remeber Trulli Vistas for a long time
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.
Wonderful location to base ourselves to visit all the important towns and locations in Puglia. The trulli was very traditional but had everything we needed for our week's adventure. The pool was particularly good and long enough for a bit of exercise. The property is located close to a national cycleway/footpath which is a converted Aqueduct and so helps a lot on levelling the hills for running / cycling / walking for those wanting to explore. Early June is a great time to visit, its warm/hot enough to stay out and swim, but not unbearably hot and the most of the tourist hotspots are very welcoming and not too crowded. Another plus was the bed was comfortable. There's a wonderful selection of DVDs - those that came free with Sunday papers, if it does rain. Wifi was also good.
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.
Lovely place to stay, great view over Bassenthwaite and the field in front of the hut was full of lambs! Well equipped, had everything we needed and was in a great location to easily get places driving. Would highly recommend!

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!

The location is amazing, exactly as described on site. very nice trulli, everything on hand. perfect positioned to get to the most of the interesting Apuglia attractions. We didn't meet the owner, but Hazel the property manager is a lovely and very supportive person, available for any request or need you may have related to the staying at the property.
We loved our trulli which was well-located to allow us to explore the Puglia region. The house and grounds were well-equipped and comfortable and Hazel was very responsive to our questions regarding the house and neighborhood. Would definitely return with friends!!
This Trullo exceeded our expectations. Beautiful, clean, comfy beds, well equipped, great showers, sparkling clear pool, quiet, and amazing sunsets on the patio. Location ideal for exploring all of the surrounding countryside and towns. Already booked for May 2024! Thank you Glenn, Steve and Hazel for being such wonderful hosts.

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!
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!

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.

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!
This is a lovely property and made for a perfect vacation in a remarkably beautiful part of Italy. There were two of us — myself and my sister —and we appreciated having two bathrooms. The interior is small, but very comfortable and well-supplied. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning works well. You won’t spend much time indoors except to sleep because the grounds are beautiful. We spent most of our time on the patio or by the pool. The best part is the gorgeous Puglian sunset every single day. Be prepared to drive on narrow, bumpy country roads — the country setting is part of the property’s charm. Very quiet and peaceful. Booking was easy. Neil, the property manager responded immediately to any questions we had. We were there for two weeks, and they even scheduled a mid-stay cleaning. Can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will definitely be back.
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.
