An exceptional week spent at Will’s villa and trullo – we were 2 couples and stayed for a week in early September – one couple occupied the villa and the other the trullo so we had plenty of room. We had a bit of difficulty finding the property but Will was able to guide us with detailed directions via Whats App. We were exhausted when we arrived and didn’t feel like heading out again for dinner so Will provided us with eggs, ham and tomatoes which we enjoyed washed down with a bottle of Prosecco, beer and some Gin and Tonics!! All accommodation was extremely comfortable with comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and bathrooms and great outside areas for relaxing and dining. We had excellent weather during our stay which enabled us to take advantage of the large pool and its sunbeds. The property is very quiet and situated amongst an olive grove but within easy driving distance of Carovigno, Ostuni and Villanova where there are many fine restaurants. We particularly enjoyed a meal at Art Café La Loggia in Carovigno. We loved the beaches which were a short drive away – Polignano a Mare where we saw people cliff diving from the vertical cliff tops and where we enjoyed their specialty – caffe speciale (coffee, lemon zest, sugar, cream, amaretto); Mezza Luna and its beach club – good food, fine sand and crystal clear water. We explored Puglia and would recommend visiting the towns of Matera – originally a prehistoric troglodyte settlement (where we hired a guide for a walking tour of Sassi di Matera), Lecce, Gallipoli, Locorotondo, Alberobello and there are so much more.

Will is an amazing host – nothing was too much trouble for him and we really appreciated his knowledge of the area for directions, shopping, dining and secluded swimming spots. We loved the extra touches like the pastries that he provided. He even provided an early morning “taxi” service for our friends who were catching a train from Brindisi. Thank you Will – we had the most fantastic time and we would highly recommend the property to anyone who is thinking of visiting Puglia – it is a wonderful location to explore this part of Italy.
