Book a hotel near Itria Valley, Puglia

"The property was lovely but smaller than we anticipated - I would say that if more than two people were staying, a few days' stay would be perfect.The host Eligio was wonderful and kept in contact with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was good, even providing us with nice unexpected presents! The welcome basket and wine was also lovely especially as we arrived late due to a delayed flight! He also provided us with a list of places to visit prior to arrival which helped in our planning of the holiday.The property would benefit from some comfortable seating for the evening - while it was nice sitting outside at the table, having a more comfortable area to sit in would make a big difference.Overall we had a lovely stay and thanks again to Eligio for his hospitality!"

"Beautiful location. The Trullos are unique. Sleeping under a dome is very relaxing. The bedrooms could do with more shelving. Had to leave clothes in luggages on the floor. In the off season, each individual Trullo pool is unheated. I was still able to swim my laps in 20 degrees water. Quite invigorating! Others might not venture at this temperature. The daily included breakfasts were delicious and very healthy. A car is essential as this is true Puglia country living. Expect drive at least 10 minutes to find a nearby restaurant. A golf cart comes with your Trullo rental. It is a 3-4 minute drive from the parking lot to my Trullo. A most unique countryside experience. Do not expect a front desk or guest services. That is part of the charm. Very off the beaten path. Interesting concept! A very beautiful property. "

"The photos of Angelita's home and the general information about the very charming and welcoming town of Cisternino do not do justice to this vacation rental! My husband and I and our two friends loved it! Overall, there is a serenity and a sense of place at Casa Cecca that is timeless. The high ceilings and cool tiled floors make it a perfect summertime outdoor/indoor space. The eat in kitchen is compact, yet workable, although a microwave would be a welcome addition to the stove top and toaster oven. There is only one washroom, but it is beautifully remodelled and has a luxurious rainhead shower. During the day and on fine evenings the long wooden table under a pergola in the backyard is perfect for apero and alfresco meals. There are plenty of chairs and loungers!The jacuzzi was not much in use as our mid to late September days were cooler and we were routinely touring all the notable "white cities" as well as nearby beach and historic towns. We travelled to Ostuni, Alborobella, Locotorondo, Bari, Porto Caesarea, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce, and Matera. Phenomenal day trips, great food, and history lessons, galore! Staying in the area of those special structures, the Trulli, was a daily delight!Angelita was a very caring and responsive host, and always addressed any concerns or requests that we expressed. Overall, we had great Apulian wine and food experiences, met lovely locals, and enjoyed being a short uphill walk from our comfortable home to Cisternino."

"We had such a wonderful two week stay in this lovely house. Beautiful pool and views in a very peaceful rural setting. Loved visiting all the hilltop towns, fantastic food and the sea. Tracey (the owner) provided so many wonderful and personal recommendations, including restaurants, local shopping, preferred beaches etc - many of which we followed and were all excellent. Highlights included Matera, boat trips, a wonderful small restaurant in Martina Franca, shopping in Cisternino, Ostuni and more!"

"Fantastic week at this property. Really memorable and was sad to leave. "
