We had a perfect stay in this beautiful trullo, surrounded by olive trees and thoughtfully designed gardens that could be enjoyed from the private pool or one of the many charming seating areas. It is a place where time seems to slow down and nature truly restore the soul.Our hosts, David and Francesco, were delightful. From the warm welcome on arrival to their excellent recommendations for local places to visit and restaurants to try, they made our stay feel special from the very beginning. The welcome pack and well stocked fridge were a particularly thoughtful touch, allowing us to relax and enjoy our first evening after a day of travelling. The trullo is ideally located, with easy access by car to explore the many wonderful towns, beaches, and attractions that Puglia has to offer. We would highly recommend a stay here to anyone looking to experience the charm and authenticity of a traditional Puglian home.

We had a wonderful two weeks at the trullo! Absolutely beautiful with fantastic grounds and pool. The trullo is situated perfectly for access to Ostuni and the coast, as well as Ceglie and other surrounding towns. David and Francesco were extremely helpful, and it’s difficult to imagine a better place to stay in Puglia!

Excellent

Our hosts David and Francesco were very warm and welcoming, and made it easy to settle in quickly. Any small snags were sorted out immediately, as they live next door to the property. The trullo is stylishly presented with a charming mixture of comfortable modern design and rustic antiques, all set in a pretty garden in an olive grove. The salt water swimming pool is truly wonderful, and meticulously maintained. The trullo is in a peaceful location surrounded by a number of similar former farms and holiday properties. The nearest shops, markets and restaurants are in Ostuni, about 15 minutes drive away. The town has a historic walled centre set on the hilltop, full of character with pretty twisty lanes, baroque churches and public squares with small restaurants and shops. It can be "touristy" but look a little harder and there are side streets and hidden corners where you can eat delicious and reasonably priced local food and wine. The town is very typical of many others in the region - Martina Franca, Locorotondo, Cisternina, Lecce and many others, all within an hour or two's drive. The nearest Adriatic coast is only 30 minutes away. The beaches are small and crowded, but there are good seafood restaurants. Overall, we loved our holiday in Puglia, and Trullo della Scrittice was a charming, comfortable and peaceful base for our daily expeditions out to explore the region, and then home to relax by the pool afterwards. Well done and thank you David and Francesco!
