Guest comments
We had a fabulous holiday in the Trulli Sulla Collina and would recommend it
without hesitation for a family looking for a peaceful holiday. It was a
great character property, spotlessly clean, very well maintained and equipped
with a great attention to detail. With two small children we really appreciated the terrific pool which was a lovely temperature. The pool toys, swingball, table tennis and games in the house were a big hit and very thoughtful. We did several day trips and found the beaches on the south Ionian coast the best with lovely white sandy beaches and beautiful clear blue water. LY Aug 2011
A beautiful setting, with a lovely pool (gated), plenty of outdoor space and very well-equipped. The house was spotless and everything had been set up as we had requested for our arrival; we really appreciated Jenny's attention to detail and catering for our many and varied requests. This is a wonderful location, perfect
Owner profile
About the owner
I live in the UK with my husband and our 3 children. We have 2 teenage girls and a special needs son who is 9. We have busy lives here in the UK, I run my own business specialising in customer service and leadership training and my husband works in the city. Puglia was our opportunity to have an escape "bolt hole" away from all the fast pace of normal life where we could relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of this Puglian lifestyle. We have carefully adapted this property to make it accessible for my son and therefore can offer guests the benefits of this, with the property being accessible to people with restricted mobility.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We purchased our trulli and villa 6 years ago. The stunning location was a major deciding factor in our choice. We also felt that the set-up of the accommodation offered great flexibility and opportunity for families to holiday together but with some independence, a thing we have found hard to achieve when staying in 1 large property. This seemed to provide the perfect answer.
Transforming this rural farmhouse into a luxury villa/ trullo has been very exciting and rewarding. We have loved creating a garden from scratch and to see it mature has been fantastic. We just love it out there and are very proud of what we have achieved. Just wish we had more time to enjoy it!
The rural location is a plus - near to Alberobello but far enough away to be secluded and hear complete silence.
Unique benefits of the property
Being quite discerning ourselves and having stayed in many self catering villas we know what works and what doesn't. We have looked to create a home from home rather than a rental villa.
Safety - a top priority. Not many villas offer enclosed pools and this for us was a must to give greater peace of mind with young children around.
Comfort and quality - top priorities. We want it to feel special and cared for. We continue to upgrade and invest to achieve this.
Memorable Experience - small touches make a huge difference. Tailored CDs to appeal to all moods and tastes, a games room with TV/DVD, table tennis, games etc Not forgetting our team locally who share in our vision and ensure everything is as it should be.
