About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded and spacious trulli with private pool, tastefully decorated

Trullo di Sotto can accommodate 8/9 people. It is approximately 130 sq.meters and consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 living areas, one of which can be used as a bedroom, open kitchen with adjoining dining room and 3 bathrooms with shower and toilet, two of which are en- suite. Two of the bedrooms have double beds, while one bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a double bed on request, alternatively add a third single bed. The living room has a sofa bed and can be used as a bedroom for two people. On request a cot can also be provided for any of the bedrooms.

The property is surrounded by paved terraces and right outside the main entrance there is a large dining table under a covered pergola where you can enjoy delicious food cooked on the garden grill. In the garden there is a swimming pool (apprx: 30/36 sqm ) with a terrace overlooking the valley , equipped with 6 sun loungers/chairs under covered pergolas, where the sun shines from dawn to dusk . The house, garden and outdoor areas are nicely lit so that you can enjoy long summer evenings outdoors. The garden is filled with olive trees and fig trees (just eat straight from the tree in August - figs like you've never tasted them!), pear trees, almond trees and of course hundreds of lavender bushes that give the garden a lovely scent.
There is parking within the property gates for 3/4 cars.

The trulli are tastefully decorated to a high standard ensuring you a comfortable and luxurious holiday experience. Up to 1.5 meters thick walls ensure a comfortable indoor temperature day and night , even in the hottest months. The kitchen and bathrooms are well equipped and there is also a Nespresso machine (but remember to bring coffee capsules ). The property is connected to the public water network , so you can safely drink delicious water straight from the tap.

NEW WIFI - as of 2023 stable and powerful wifi provided via Starlink.

Trullo di Sotto can be rented together with the neighboring property Trullo di Sopra. Rented together they can provide ample space for large parties up to 16 people. When rented separately they are however completely private as the houses are ca 70 meters a part . They only share the access road, but each house has its own separate and private entrance, parking, gardens and each property has its own private pool. Please enquire for availability and links to the other property.

We had a wonderful stay. The property is full of character and comfort. Angelita made us welcome and was exceedingly gracious and helpful with everything. The location was perfect for visiting the whole Val d’Istria.

Trullo Sotto - Cisternino
Fanastic Trullo, lovely host (Angelita who was exceptional) and owner (Nina, who clearly cared). We were very well looked after and felt valued as guests. The Trullo was everything we expected and hoped for. We have no hesitation in recommending.

Our best holiday yet
Dreamy just a perfect trulli home to stay in it has given us the best experience ever, our host Nina was amazing and easy to talk too, this holiday was booked before covid and I just didn’t think it would ever happen, also Angelita met us late because our flight was delayed and she was a angel and helped us with anything at a drop of a hat, even showed us a restaurant to eat at late because we were all so hungry just so friendly and a comfort to know she was there for us regarding anything. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Beautiful Villa in the Countryside
My family and I (husband, 2 boys 13 and 10) had a wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful villa. The villa was immaculately clean, the gardens well kept and we had everything we needed for our weeks stay and really enjoyed our holiday. The pool was clean and there was a net provided which the boys loved fishing out any stray bugs that might have flown in overnight! The internet dropped off a couple of times but we followed the instructions in the welcome pack and were connected back quickly, there is very little phone signal but this did not bother us we were able to make online calls if we needed too. Location is perfect for exploring by car to all the nearby towns and villages, Alberoberro and Martina Franca were my favourite's however there are so many more lovely places to visit too. We loved it here and would definitely come back.

Good location for exploring Puglia
Trullo di Sotto, in the hamlet of Casalini, is in a peaceful spot a few minutes drive from the main road. Communication with Nina was good and she was very understanding of the issues we had delaying our arrival due to unforeseen circumstances. The three bedrooms are spacious, two with en-suites and one with separate bathroom plus there's a dining area, sitting room and tiny kitchen. Ample outdoor space is provided which is pleasant for dining in the heat. The pool was cleaned once during the week we stayed and that was at my request as it was already dirty when we arrived (it gets cleaned on a Friday and we arrived on Tuesday). The bottom was dirty and the surface continually had leaves and insects floating on it which I'd happily have cleaned out if there had been a net provided. I consider for the price we paid that the pool would've been cleaned more frequently as I too rent a property to guests and the pool is cleaned daily, rubbish collected and gardens watered. The biggest issue for us was the wi-fi and although the listing states that this is provided via satellite and therefore can't always be guaranteed, what we experienced was a constantly unreliable service that required frequent resetting daily. It was impossible to do any continuous work as it was lost when the wifi went down and the service was barely sufficient for checking emails. This is obviously a known issue as we were advised on check in to "just flip the mains switch" which, as it transpired, we were doing several times a day. The problem wasn't helped by power outages over the first two days which made contacting anyone for assistance difficult as there was no phone signal or internet to try to find out what was happening. As others have commented, the trullo is extremely hot inside and although fans are provided, the A/C is only in the main kitchen/dining area. The bathrooms are well equipped however the shower flooded the floor with each use as the shower curtains were insufficient to stop water escaping. Not a major issue but having had a couple of slips, it occurred to me it may be a problem for older people or with kids running around. The trullo is nicely decorated, the kitchen is equipped with the basics for cooking, the location is good for exploring Puglia and enjoying the beaches and towns.

Holiday in Trullo land
Fantastic location in an authentic and tastefully renovated Trullo. We loved our stay. WiFi is only weak point probably as location is isolated but I'm sure this will be improved for the future.

An absolutely beautiful property and the host is very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.
The property was absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and the location was perfect. Nina and the local contact Angelita were both extremely helpful and made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you are going on a holiday to Puglia.
