We stayed at Trullo Badessa for a lovely week in the countryside equidistant from Alberobello and Locorotondo. The Trullo is on a working farm and commands fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. The sunsets are fantastic as the western horizon is so far away. Outside are two patios, one under a verandah for eating and the other given shelter by a tall tree for much of the day. Inside the kitchen is well equipped and big enough for two of you to prepare a meal together. Both bathrooms are pretty as are the two bedrooms and living room.

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.
