Having stayed in Puglia many times, and in many different Trulli, I can tell you now.... you WON'T find better than this! Not only is the Trulli blessed with a great location, the land around it also affords you great privacy. An outside kitchen and eating area adds another room to the trullo experience and allows you to enjoy the food delights this area has to offer. The Trullo is very well designed and has all the modern conveniences you could wish for, while still keeping the charm that the old building is famous for. The owners were very helpful all through the booking process and when we arrived (we managed to get lost en route and they helped guide us to the location). The owners were also very kind in leaving a small basket of local items for us to enjoy and we were glad there was also plenty of coffee for us to enjoy! thank you! This Trullo would be great for couples or small families and the area offers the same. You will need a car, but that's the case for all of Puglia, and you will have lots of fun discovering this amazing part of Italy and then heading back to the quiet and joy of this lovely Trullo. We would go back - 100%!! ##### Will G. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBERTO G. 30 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bellissima esperienza al Trullo Alcova di Mael Professionalità e gentilezza assoluta. Ceck-in perfetto e preciso. Padroni di casa professionali. Posto incantevole. Casa pulita e funzionale. Posizione del trullo favorevolissima, silenziosissima e ideale per spostamenti verso lidi sull’Adriatico o sullo Ionio. In zona posti incantevoli. ##### ROBERTO G. ---
