Trullo degli Uccelli

““We stayed at Trullo Deli Uccelli for 10 days in August 2018 and it was the perfect holiday location after a very busy year.

Hannah & Dom have refurbished their trullo in such a way that it is very obvious how much care, attention and time they have spent on it. It’s a lovely combination of staying at someone’s house and being in self catering accommodation and made us fell completely relaxed very quickly.

The trullo was very well equipped with everything that we needed and more. There was even enough food in the cupboard from the previous guests & the welcome pack to see us through our first night and breakfast the following morning which took the pressure off having to find open shops before we had time to explore. The pool was fantastic and very atmospheric at night with the lights on and we had many happy meals on the patio - with the odd bottle of Primitivo as a companion!

Early morning tea outside was followed by a quick clean of the pool (Rob & Alex) and a morning dip before breakfast and a game of table tennis (which was all rather competitive for me but ended in a honourable draw - got to keep these youngsters in their place you know!!). Luigi (the unicorn) and Kitty became best pals after a few running repairs to fix his deflation issues while Lindsey found the perfect spot in the shade on the patio for a hour of pilates each morning.

The guest information was very informative resulting in a stunning tour around the local olive factory in Martina Franca, days in Matera, Locorotondo, an evening in Alberobello (keep a look out for roads that become pedestrian areas after 8pm!!!) and even a YouTube live stream in Ostuni with Hugh!!

Rosanna, who was delightful, recommended a great beach at Rosa Marina (could and should have gone back there again) and a lovely restaurant in Martina Franca called Garibaldi Bistro where we were joined by our good friend Paolo from Rome.

It was a sad day when we finally left, but we will definitely be back to explore the area more and see how the garden has matured around the trullo.

Many thanks once again for giving us the PERFECT holiday”.”

“A wonderful trullo, beautiful pool
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a really wonderful stay at this trullo. It’s very clean and well equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfy, the bedding and towels were regularly changed which was nice as the weather was so hot we were in the pool every day. The kitchen has everything, even proper sharp knives as another guest pointed out. There are all the basic ingredients to use, so cooking with the lovely fresh food we bought from the market or the shops is a joy.
There are books and games to enjoy, and maps and local information so getting out and sightseeing is easy. There is so much to do in the area, so many restaurants and lovely beaches and towns. The maps and guide books were very useful.
And the unicorn is enormous!
From the start communications with Hannah were quick, clear and helpful. The trullo is easy to find, in a quiet location but not isolated and only 5 mins from Martina Franca.
This was our first visit to Puglia and it certainly won’t be our last. We would very much like to return to this lovely trullo again,as soon as possible!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days at the Trullo. Well positioned for all the very interesting and very different towns in the area. We particularly enjoyed Martina Franca for its free and easy to park town square and eating opportunities but also enjoyed our trips to the coast particularly since the satnav took us along interesting secondary roads where there was more of the older Puglia. Certainly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing and interesting holiday.

“Quite the most beautifully equipped rental that we have ever stayed in. Amazing attention to detail - it was just like home from home.
Down to all the crockery and utensils ( that actually cut), including a lovely library of books for all ages!
There are board games - just everything you can think of - we loved it.

Unfortunately the weather was very unkind to us - however the Trullo was so comfortable and welcoming.”

“We stayed here with our 2 young children ages 3.5 and 7.5 yrs.
From our initial enquiry to our return home the owners were so friendly and helpful. The property was fantastic with every need catered for.
Reading the guest book you realise your are not alone in your appreciation of the effort and thought the owners have put in to make this holiday property stand out from the rest. It has a very relaxed, personal feel to it.

The Trullo is in a rural location so a car is essential. Most beaches were approx. 45 mins away and we visited both coast lines quite a few times!
At weekends the beaches are packed so get there early although we loved being shoe horned in amongst the Italian family’s! We only encountered a few English people so really felt like we were away!

Martina Franca is 10 mins away and offers a vibrant buzz in the evenings-we were lucky to catch quite a few live band performances and a stunning Flamenco singer too.
We visited Martina Franca most evenings and every meal was simply superb although we did enjoy 1 or 2 BBQ’s and dined al fresco lit by the many lanterns and fairy lights provided by the owners.

The welcome pack is informative with restaurant recommendations and market days etc.

Puglia offers many delights and we were able to sample quite a few of them whilst staying in this comfortable, relaxing property-stunning sea and coastlines, endless vineyards and olive groves set in sienna rich earth, historic basilicas and buildings and of course, the food, the wine, the coffee and the ice cream.

Our children loved their ‘holiday house’ and still mention it! We all agreed it was our best holiday to date and felt thoroughly relaxed.

Highly recommended!”
