Ceglie Messapica Castle of Ceglie Messapica Hotels

"We have just returned from our two week holiday at this authentic Trullo and villa. We were greeted by Roberta who showed us around the property. She was also just a phone call away if needed. When we ran out of gas in the kitchen Roberta was straight round with a replacement bottle. The property has everything you need for your holiday. Jo even supplies beach/pool towels and cool bags for days out. There are two well stocked kitchens and two bathrooms. The property is situated on a large plot with mature shrubs, olive fig pine and almond trees. The back veranda was a great place to eat and sit in the evening listening to scips and long earned owls. The large pool was fantastic after a day touring. It is surounded by lovely flowers which attracted a large amount of butterflies. The outdoor furniture is of good quality. The was always somewhere to sit in the sun or shade at all times of the day. There is a well stocked supermarket just a few minutes drive away. The wonderfull town of Ceglie is just a few miles, where the are some fabulous places to eat and wander through the alleys. The property is well situated to visit all the lovely towns of the Itria valley, they are only 20- 40 minutes drive. The beaches can be reached in 20 minutes, Matera is only 1.5hrs drive. If you should see the maintenance and cleaning people they were pleasant and courteous. I would not hesitate to recommend this property if you are looking to book your holiday in this region of Puglia. "

"Trulli Roccia was truly unique. Nestled in the countryside outside of Ostuni, it felt both off the grid and yet not too far from some of the most gorgeous towns in Puglia. We used it as a home base to explore Ostuni, Martina Franca, Polignano a Mare, Bari, Cisternino and Aberobello. All were within a 15-60ish minute drive. We had gorgeous weather and spent lots of time relaxing by the showstopper of a pool too.Living in a stone house can be awkward, as another reviewer mentioned. House caretaker Neil was super helpful, even met us at Ladi’s (do NOT underestimate this friendly place for morning coffee and food, even though it’s attached to a gas station!) to show us the way down the winding dirt roads to the house. We appreciated that he brought some starter water bottles too (the trullo water is non potable), wine, olive oil, and the ever addictive treat tarallli. The supermarket was close enough to restock when necessary. We learned power outages are pretty common in the countryside . Fortunately, we only had one and Neil kept us informed about when we could expect it back (it was only half a day).If you come here, come ready to enjoy a slower pace, a few quirks, and the uncrowded, unspoiled beauty that is Puglia. "

"Beautiful property, amazing and friendly personnel, and the chef is incredibly talented. No need to leave the resort if you don't want. If you do, perfectly located between Ostuni and Cisternino for a great day trip."

"We had a wonderful time at the villa, Pino and his family made us feel very welcome and offered great advice on places to visit and made restaurant reservation for us. The house is well equipped with everything we needed, it is in a private and quiet location close to many beautiful towns."
