But we LOVED the fireplace and the wood provided -- it was wonderful to have a fire at night! It was so cozy. We loved the renovation of the trullo, and the kitchen was great. The trullo was located far off the road, up through a working farm, which was part of its charm. The people that rented it were so responsive -- they were there to help us in any way possible. Leandro was our "person on the ground" and he could not have been nicer! We were within driving distance of so many places of interest: Matera, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca . . . I think I could have happily spent a month or more here!
Grazia helped us very good with ordering pizza’s and also arranged a doctor’s visit. But the best was that the grocery’s for the first day were already arranged. We could start relaxing at once.
The whole Trullo was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the welcome hamper was plentiful with enough for dinner, breakfast, a few snacks and a bottle of wine. They even include a bag of charcoal for the barbecue. Best of all was Grazia, our host, who looked after us beautifully. She answered every request for advice or help immediately at pretty much any time of day and was happy to book restaurants, tours and tell you where to go or where to shop. She made us feel extremely welcome and was the extra bit of polish great service delivers. In all, a beautiful and relaxing place to stay with great customer service.
