Trulli Il Castagno

We had the most amazing stay with the Spalluto family. Gorgeous trullo, had everything we needed, amazing pool. Beautifully quiet and peaceful location but close enough to all the towns we wanted to visit. We spent one night doing a cooking class followed by a communal dinner with wine from the property which was amazing fun and beautifully organised. Cannot thank Giorgio, Alessandro, Vincenzo, Beatrice and their family enough.

The location of Trulli Il Castagno is beautiful, set amongst fields and vineyards so very peaceful. The breakfast tray delivered by Antoniana each morning were excellent value and just enough to start the day.

One of the shower cubicle doors was missing. It didn’t decrease our enjoyment but did leave a very wet bathroom floor!

Brilliant farm stay

The property was clean tidy, well catered and in exceptional condition. It really felt homely.

The property was exceptional and there was nothing we didn’t like, it was amazing.

Giorgio was an excellent host, spoke excellent English. Lovely location close to all the little tourist towns like Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternino and Martina Franca. Lovely area surrounded by vineyards. Property had a vegetable and herb garden you can use, which I did, and the pool was great though a bit cool yet in May. Washing machine and clothes line available. Our trullo had a very comfortable bed. Good water pressure in the shower. Lovely little table and chairs outside our trullo facing the pool for a wine at night. We bought 2 wines from the owners, both lovely. We were offered to do a winetasting with dinner in the evening. 4 wines all good and excellent history of each. Typical Italian meal with wines paired well with each course. Generous helpings and good way to meet fellow travellers. A nice bottle of their own olive oil to cook with

Nothing really, it was an excellent place to stay for 2 nights but 3 would have been better if time allowed. A couple of good knives for cooking would have been useful (I used a bread knife!) I guess not many people bother cooking on holiday!

Great location, comfortable accommodation, beautiful vista, on a winery! Giorgio our host was fantastic! Checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Loved that there is a wood fire BBQ for use and gardens all over the property where you can collect herbs to add into your meals. They offer a wine tasting from their own wine production which we highly recommend. Wish we had stayed a little later in the spring when the pool was planned to reopen to enjoy more of the beautiful views. Oh and they have the best and friendliest cat ever 😊

Everything was great on the whole, probably if anything it would be the beds were not the most comfortable and the kitchen was missing a few items that would have made the kitchen more functional, to be honest not everyone wants to cook so might not be an issue for most.

I would say if you have a car it's a great place to stay , close to a lot of great cities , bit secluded ,but safe . If you are looking to dining out ,you need to drive . If you can cook it's a great place ,please come with few groceries ,Giorgio and Antonino are great folks and are close by. Both were super helpful and very informative. I did fulfill my dream to live in a trulli house ,I just wish I had come in summer as in winter there is nothing much to do here , all restaurants are in cities

Beautiful scenery and house. I will definitely come here again next time to have the dinner here and bring some cat food to feed the cat. There is a very cute, beautiful, clever and lovely cat.

The location is very central and very good to visit all the surroundings.

Everything was since but if I have to mention only one thing is that the shower cubicle is a bit small

The location was great, being able to stay in an actual trullo in the middle of the countryside was so unique. The hosts even left us a bottle of the wine they produce and cherry on top, we could charge our hybrid car on the premises.

It was just a little cold when we arrived but it is expected considering the type of accommodation and that we got here in December. In a few hours, it got very comfortable!
