Fabulous stay
We stayed for a week with friends, 4 adults and 4 children aged 10-12. We all loved it. The Trullo is spacious, clean, comfortable with everything that you need. The children loved the pool and games room, we hardly saw them! Alison and Chris were great hosts; from speedily resolving a small issue with the water to booking restaurants for us and always on hand to answer any questions. Pasta making with the neighbour Palma was a highlight with enough food to feed 18 of us! We would thoroughly recommend and hope to visit again soon

Fabulous week in Puglia
Just returned from a wonderful holiday. The trulli villa is superb, clearly well looked after and has everything you need. Alison is on hand for any issues or local questions! The villa is perfectly set up for two families with masses of space. It was our first trip here and would happily re book.

A stunning holiday property situated in rural Italy. They had thought of everything to accommodate such a young family and made assurances that our stay was as pleasant as it could be. Very friendly and helpful when they needed to be and very reactive to any issue. Great hosts, would definitely recommend!

A beautiful trullo, with a heated pool and a spa
The property was immaculate and spotlessly clean. Everything was even better than it looks in the pictures. It was very nice to have a bar such a short walk away too, the staff there were very friendly. I will definitely be back for a longer stay in the future.

Stunning, Well Equipped Trullo for Family Holiday
We had such a wonderful week at Trullo Negli Alberi as two families with young children. The property is incredibly well-appointed, Alison and Chris have clearly thought carefully about what would make a family holiday stress free and fun: from the beautiful pool, to the massive selection of games and toys, well-equipped kitchen and cool relaxing bedrooms. We barely scratched the surface of what the huge games room had to offer, spending most of our time in the pool or visiting one of the nearby beautiful towns. Thankyou for a memorable holiday.

A wonderful family haven
We found the property by chance and how lucky we were. It’s perfect for what we needed and ticked every single one of our boxes (very rare). The property is stunning, the hosts were always able to answer or help with any queries and the location us perfect to get away from it all whilst still being a close drive to many local towns & places of interest. Would definitely book again (if we get lucky) as I’m sure this place will get snapped up by lots of families. Thank you Chris & Alison x

Excellent stay
We stayed here as a group of mums, sisters and babies (5 aged two and under)!! We had the most fantastic stay the hosts were brilliant and always on hand if anything was needed they went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We were provided with 4 cots free of charge, 3 high chairs and more toys than the children have at home. All of this made our stay so much more enjoyable and easier for the adults. The villa is spotless the pictures do not do it justice we loved the large seating area where we spent the evenings relaxing with wine once he children were in bed. The beds were super comfy and we could not have wished for more. The pool is huge the largest we’ve had in any villa and the fact that it was heated was perfect for our little ones as without it it would have been pretty cold given that the weather wasn’t so hot during our stay. Alberobello was a beautiful town just 10 mins or so drive away and the sea around 30mins. All in all we loved our stay and we all said it was the best villa we have ever had ( we have had a lot) Thankyou very much Alison and Chris xx

The trullo is amazing, it is set in a very quiet location, but within easy reach to some interesting and atmospheric towns, Chris and Alison were an hand when we needed them but were not intrusive, we are a family of 4 so had plenty of space, I would imagine that a larger group would have a great time if they made use of the large pool, dining areas and games room! I would highly recommend, this place had everything!

Wonderful, well-equipped villa
This villa was ideal for a family holiday. It was very spacious and extremely well-equipped. The kitchen, for instance, was generously provided with two fridges, a range cooker and plenty of utensils and crockery. The very spacious playroom had everything our grandchildren could desire. The pool was the star of the holiday - big, clean, with a lovely sunbathing terrace, and even a water slide.

Fantastic Family Holiday!
We stayed for one week in May and had a fantastic time. Alison and Chris were very helpful in answering queries in advance of our stay and in helping us to arrange activities, including a hugely enjoyable pasta-making evening with a local family. They were also both there to meet us upon arrival and departure, and extremely helpful with a few adhoc queries we had about the locality during our stay. The Trullo is a beautiful property and the facilities are excellent, including a huge and very well-maintained heated pool, a games room and bikes, and a BBQ & pizza oven. The kitchen is large and well-equipped and the big courtyard space offers both outdoor and covered areas. We also really enjoyed the location, being a short drive away from a number of towns including Alberobello, Locorotondo and Martina Franca, all of which we enjoyed visiting both for the architecture / cultural aspects as well as the excellent restaurants. We stayed with two young children aged 5 and 2 and the additional facilities (play area and games room) were a real added bonus that we used regularly throughout our stay. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic getaway with luxe features
Alison and Chris were fantastic with communication from the start. They met us at checkin and were responsive to any questions. The house is gorgeous with really quality features. The features of the home were terrific for all ages from the big kitchen to cook to the pizza oven to the pool and game room. We loved exploring the area and especially our pasta making dinner by Palma. It is a dinner we will never forget. We toured all over Puglia from Lecce to Trani. Our favorites were Ostuni and Alberobello. We were all sad very to leave.

Wonderful family friendly luxury accommodation
The property had everything we needed. There was 4 adults and 3 children aged 3-5. We didn’t need to ask for anything as it was very well equipped.

Easter in Puglia
This is a gorgeous house in a beautiful area. Chris and Alison could not have been more helpful. Everything has been thought of in this house and all the little touches make for a stress free stay. We didn't get in to the pool as Easter was early this year but the outside space and pool are fantastic. Lots of lovely restaurants nearby. The kids loved the games room/cinema room. Fantastic family villa.

Stunning trullo with every need fully catered for
Nothing was too much trouble for the owners of this gorgeous trullo Best equipped holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in, every possible need was catered for from an amazing games room and nightlights for the children to a beautiful courtyard for evening meals for the adults Simple things often overlooked like having enough loungers and chairs for all. stunning pool area, thoughtfully included both sun traps and shady spots for respite from the heat enough areas that even with a full house privacy and peace was guaranteed if needed Lovely friendly helpful owners who were happy to help out at any point Great location to see beautiful Alberobello and Locorotondo Pasta night provided enough food for three whole days so great value and was a really nice experience The children adored the play area and trampoline and the games room was a huge hit with young and adults alike

Brilliant family Trullo with exceptional facilities - first class
Alison and Chris have the formula spot on. Nothing too much trouble. Excellent response to all our needs and a very friendly approach to running a truly spectacular place. It's a kids and adults paradise with every need catered for. Great pool and games room, kids garden furniture and trampoline. Bikes galore and a games/cinema room in case the weather changes or for a evening get together. Local wine a steal and very good. Would not hesitate to recommend to any that like luxury. We had a party of 7 adults and two children under three. You can lock off the pool for children which makes it completely safe for little ones - a real safe touch

A wonderful home from home that ticks the for all ages.
Three generations (youngest 4 months) stayed in Alison and Chris's lovely trullo. The place is set up to be as easy as possible for everyone, all on one level, with the excellent pool and parking areas safely gated, the kitchen intuitive and well equipped - the BBQ and pizza oven were particular hits. The "play barn" had things to entertain all ages, and the surrounding area has plenty to do without making one feel every day must be a sightseeing day. Our hosts, who live a few kms away, are wonderful - always friendly and helpful without being intrusive. For a family with children, or indeed adult groups, this is a great place to stay.

A fantastic location, with a small supermarket very close by, & a really well equipped house. The bathroom facilities were lovely & the pool & games room were a huge hit, with something for all ages. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area too. We loved using the pizza oven & bbq, and the outdoor/pool furniture was really good quality.

Pretty much perfect!
Highly recommend this accommodation. A successful week with two kids (4 and 8) and the in-laws in July! ...The description of a luxury Trullo is well deserved... the restoration is very appealing... spacious and well maintained... each bedroom has its own conical roof to wake up to and they are lovely spaces....very well equipped kitchen (appreciated the all the kid/pool friendly glasses etc!) ... the pool is wonderfully heated so the kids could spend a long time in it... hammock in the olive trees...had fun being pizza chefs... the football table in the games room very popular ... great for hottest parts of the day and something for everyone (from playhouse to pool table ... all the toys were great)... the location is ideal for coffee/restaurants in pretty towns Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino... also a visit to the caves in Castellana... even tried the water park in Alberobello (fun but busy!)... The owners' plans to provide more shade and ways to extend the season are spot on... definitely one to return to!

Excellent outside area
Really lovely place to stay - excellent facilities for babies with a lot of toys and books to play with and a swing/play area. I can't fault the outside area at all and we loved using the bbq and pizza oven. However, we found the Trullo very hot and no fans were in the rooms (description says they have fans) and the rooms including the wardrobes and drawers smelt quite musty so we had to spray a lot of air freshener every day. The bedding was also quite uncomfortable with plastic backed sheets (which we removed as they were making everyone sweat!). Alison and chris were very helpful, we had two broken toilets and a shower drainage issue during the stay and workmen were sent around promptly.

Thank you for the review. I'm sorry that you found it hot in the bedrooms they usually stay really cool. The fans were in the games room, if you had asked we would have put them in the house for you. I know it doesn't help you but we are installing Air-conditioning. Hope all goes well with the pregnancy. Alison

Brilliant holiday
We just returned from a great stay at this well equipped lovely trullo. We were a group of two couples and two toddlers. The trullo had all we needed, with the added bonus of lots of toys in the playroom for the toddlers. The pool was a really nice temperature and we made a lot of use of the pizza oven. Rooms were really cool and dark so great for sleeping. The owners were always on hand to give us advice on the local area. We also did the pasta making evening which was great fun and great food (very large portions 😀) Only thing we did find was quite a few mossies but think that is just a warm climate thing so do take insect repellent if you are prone to being bitten. We will definatly go back!

Highly recommended, lovely peaceful situation
Such a lovely villa, everything one could wish for both inside and out, set in beautiful countryside, and prompt attention from owners Alison and Chris if necessary.All just as shown in photos and information on website. Loved the pool and just relaxing in the garden. Made use of Pizza oven and BBQ and cycling around the quiet, pretty country lanes and cycle routes nearby.The games and media room were so well equipped for all ages and we spent several evenings enjoying table tennis, table football, pool etc. Good location,being near the beautiful hilltop white towns of Alberobello and Locorotondo. Lots of other historic places and coast not too far away. A wonderful way to spend my 70th birthday with our 3 children and partners.They had arranged an amazing surprise dinner one evening cooked by Dario.Wow, not to be missed.

Special place
What a great place! We were two families spending the last week in this region. The Trullo was just perfect, beautiful and heaven for our kids - they loved the heated pool, the separate house full of games, the garden with its playground, the pizza oven. We were blessed with good weather, charming towns nearby, surrounded by olive trees - it was difficult to leave the place at the end of our holidays ;)

Very complete Trullo house near Alberobello
We stayed in the house with our 4 children from 13 to 18 years. It was a very nice house, n the beautiful landscape of Puglia between Albarabello and Locorotondo. The house was a modern, Trullo style house, well maintained, with all the tools you need, good beds ( for a man of 1.87 m and 88 kg not common). Very nice pool, heated, so we could swim every day in the last week of april. Garden with pizza oven, we made our own pizza’s on the last evening. For the children a wel equipped game room, we played a lot of table tennis, Netflix also available and good WIFI in the house. Brand new mountain bikes, so we could ride to Albarabello and Locorotondo for a gelato and a beer. Alison and Chris , we have been in Italy for a lot of times and in a lot of houses, but yours was certainly in or top 3. We hope that a lot of other people may enjoy your house and we,d like to come back some time. Henk and Nicolle.

Our stay was luxurious, relaxed and we rested like Royalty. The Trullo is a divine hideaway, cosy and luxurious at the same time, with great amenities to use like the perfect play room. The pool as the centrepiece was used most and appreciated most by my 6 yr old daughter, she did not want to get out, it"s so nice and warm and big. All our questions were answered asap and issues resolved quickly. Alison, Chris and Georgia greeted us when we arrived and provided food and drinks for the first evening, very nice touch there.
