An excellent experience on many levels. We stayed here for here for 7 nights, quite enough time to get the feel of the place. Our lodging was in a traditional trullo, the conical-roofed stone structure characteristic to this part of the Puglia region. It was essentially like having our own little house, very cozy and private. Daily housekeeping was okay but a bit spotty about handling some basics like enough towels and TP. So we did need to make a few front desk requests to supplement things. the office staff and most personnel around the property speak English. There are lovely gardens all around, a beautiful heated swimming pool, and a spa with jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room.
But the most notable attribute of all is the kitchen and dining room. We had a half board arrangement so we ate breakfast and dinner each day on the property. The breakfasts were generous and diverse with many sweet and savory offerings. the vegetables and fruit in this region are without parallel. Dinners were excellent. I was a bit concerned about the availability of vegetarian food but my concerns were unjustified. Every night was a different and high-quality six-course vegetarian feast. It was a challenge not to over eat. The service in the dining room was excellent. there were excellent local, regional, and national wines available.
In all this was an excellent experience. I would return if the opportunity presents itself. Note that the property is a bit outside of the town of Locorotondo so a car (or a driver) is a necessity to travel off property to visit the region. read more
