comments: For people who prefer Polish! Pisze opinie bedac wciaż na miejscu i to już chyba swiadczy o tym, jak wspaniala niespodzianke sprawily nam domki Trullo. Spodziewalismy się, że będzie fajnie, ale mimo to zostaliśmy przyjemnie zaskoczeni. Urocze miejsce, cisza, spokój - doskonała baza wypadowa na całą okolicę półwyspu. Publikowane zdjęcia nie kłamią - jest wspaniale. Co do tego, czy łatwo znaleźć miejsce... no cóż, mam inną opinię niż poprzednicy. Lepiej użyć GPS. albo dzwonic do gospodarzy, znajdą Was i doprowadzą na miejsce. Przed nami jeszcze kilka dni (za mało), ale już dzisiaj polecam.

-Translation:-
We are still on the place, but I am writting some words now. It is fabulous place, even our son can not to say enything against. Photos says true. I had a little problems to find the palce, but my advice - call owner, they will help you, or use GPS. Enjoy visit San Salvatore

comments: Had a break here in April and had a lovely time. The weather was varied and not that warm but we were able to eat outside sometimes during the day wearing jumpers. Annette even managed to have a shower outside each morning. We were snug indoors at night with the pellet stove. What we liked best was travelling from the north of England by train to Fasano station (kindly picked up by Phil and Amy very late at night) and spent our time in the area sight seeing on two of their bikes. We rode to the station, chained up the bikes and caught trains to go to places further a field. This was great for our carbon foot print - well relatively - and made us feel less bad about all the travel we do for work. The Italian train service is great and meant we had time to see Milan too. Phil and Amy manage that balance of being helpful and attentive but giving you the privacy and space you want in the middle of 'no where'. We loved the building and were fascinated by the structure.

comments: This was our second visit to the "trullilovely" people, and was even better than the first(which was wonderful!) An ideal spot to unwind after a few months of work/dark skies/cold winds/floods etc. The high standard of comfort, peaceful surrounding countryside, and friendly locals make for a memorable holiday. We hope to return for a third visit in the near future and would ask Amy and Phil to change nothing - it's perfect as it is!

comments: What a fabulous week! Only problem is it wasn't long enough so we will be returning. Trullo San Salvatore gives a real flavour of Italy with its flagstone floors and cool interior and the pool provided refreshment after our explorations. The surrounding area and towns are beautiful and nothing is too far away. A great mix of culture, food, sun and relaxation. I would definitely recommend this holiday.

comments: Its round structures with cone shaped-Trullo Bianco was the place were we had spend our lovely holiday. The thick walls kept us cool throughout the night. Very comfortable inside and spacious outside! We enjoyed the country side of Puglia, exploring its surroundings. Nice and friendly people, sweet fruit and fresh veg kept our family very healthy. Also, enjoyed Pizzeria nearby, which is 5 min drive on the main road. The fresh Italian bread is so delicious that you can eat non-stop. The Adriatic coast has many beaches, we've enjoyed Torre Canne! The owners are charming people who are willing to explain and assist you when necessary. We will recommend Trullilovely to our friends!

Comment:A lovely cool trullo. Shady and breezy in the hottest part of the day yet still sunny places on the large patio for the lizard in the party,with sun loungers to relax in and enjoy the view. Never got too hot at night as the cones kept the place cool. Well equipped (even a hairdrier) and comfortable. Bikes are available. This trullo is secluded and off the beaten track so be prepared to negotiate narrow lanes especially if you arrive at night- but Amy's directions are clear.

Comment: Wij zijn het helemaal eens met de reacties van de ander gasten in het gastenboek.Wij hebben genoten van het slenteren door de mooie dorpjes, door Matera en Lecce en van onze fietstochtjes over de kleine landweggetjes omgeven door stenen muurtjes en de velden vol bloemen. Amy had voor ons 4 mountainbikes geregeld en hiervoor hoefden we niets extra's te betalen. Bij aankomst stond er ook koffie thee brood pasta enz klaar. Trullo Bianco ligt helemaal vrij met een prachtig uitzicht op Valle de Itrea met in de verte Martina Franca. Er is ruimte genoeg voor 6 personen.En niet onbelangrijk: de bedden sliepen heerlijk! Vooral voor mensen uit de grensstreek van Nederland goedkoop vliegen vanuit Koln Bonn met Tui fly. Kortom, doen!!!

We fully agree with the comments of others guests in the guestbook. We enjoyed the stroll through the beautiful villages, Matera and Lecce and our biking on the small country roads surrounded by stone walls and fields full of flowers. Amy provided 4 mountain bikes and we this was with nothing extra to pay. Upon arrival there was also coffee tea bread pasta etc. in the house. Trullo Bianco is completely secluded with a magnificent view of the Valle Itrea with Martina Franca in the distance. There is room enough for 6 people. And very important: we slept really well in those beds! Especially for people from the border of the Netherlands cheap flights from Koln Bonn with Tui fly. Summing it up, do it!

Comment: Na Engels, Frans en Duits in het gastenboek nu een beetje Nederlands. We hebben daar een fantastische week beleefd. Niet te warm geen last van muggen! Zalig ontspannen,mooie dorpjes lekker eten echt een aanrader. De trulli was heel gezellig, klein badkamertje maar als je op vakantie bent heb je tijd genoeg! We hadden ook een beetje bang dat het moeilijk te vinden was, maar met de uitleg van Amy en Phil was het makkelijk om er te geraken. Je hebt natuurlijk wel een auto nodig.Een echte aanrader gewoon doen!!! Alhoewel onze Trulli leuk en misschien meer zoals vroeger was, hebben we ook Trullo La Difesa gezien. Die was magnefiek mooi, zeer ruim en ze liggen tegen elkaar(zonder hinder te hebben van mekaar) dus ideaal voor twee familie's. Het grote voordeel is ook wel dat de eigenaars Engels spreken.

After English, French and German language in this guestbook we now start with Dutch lesson number 1. We had a marvelous week, not to warm and no mosquito's! Wonderful relaxing, beautiful villages and fine food, it's recommendable. The trullo was quite enjoyable, a small bathroom but when you are on holiday one has time enough. We were a bit scared about finding our way to the trullo but with the explanation of Amy and Phil it was rather easy to get there. You need a car, of course. Really recommendable, just do it. Although our trullo was authentic, just like in the old days, we also had the opportunity to visit Trullo La Difensa. This one, adjacent to Trullo San Salvatore (without any inconvenience for one's privacy), is really marvelous and quite big. The great advantage is that the owners are in the vicinity and speak English.

Comment: Abbiamo trascorso una settimana estremamente piacevole e rilassante. Ai proprietari del trullo, premurosi e discreti, vanno tutti i nostri complimenti per il magnifico restauro effettuato: il trullo è dotato di ogni comodità, è spazioso e molto ben curato. L'ambiente circostante è idilliaco: dolci colline, macchia mediterranea e tanti olivi. Da ritornarci! Grazie

Comment: Einer der schönsten Plätze um einen ruhigen Urlaub zu erleben, extrem geschmackvoll gestaltetes Trullo mit hochwertiger Ausstattung (tolle Mückenfenster, gute Betten, wunderschönes Natursteinambiente), entspricht absolut der Beschreibung. Vor allem aber äußerst liebenswürdige, sehr dezente Vermieter!!!Mehr sge ich nicht, denn wir wollen nicht, dass es immer ausgebucht ist, weil wir selbst wiederkommen wollen...

Comment: Nous avons passé des vacances très agréables dans ce trullo spacieux et joliment rénové!
L'environnement est calme, complanté d'oliviers, non loin du charmant village de Cisternino qui mérite la visite.
Les propriétaires n'habitent pas très loin du trullo et sont très sympathiques !
La proximité de sites exceptionnels comme Ostuni, Alberobello, Lecce et des plages de sables nous ont permis de passer des vacances farniente et culturelles, en limitant les déplacements.
Nous recommanderons ce trullo sans hésitation à des amis qui souhaiteraient passer des vacances dans les pouilles.

Comment: Wow!! It was hot! So take plenty of suncream! The trulli is fabulous. Everything you need is there and we adored the outside shower after hours spent on the beaches. Loads to do and places to explore nearby. Wished we'd had longer though. Great location, we loved being able to retreat back into the country in the evenings to escape. Overall we all had a wonderful time.

Comment: Friends had recommended this place as the ideal honeymoon spot and when we saw the pictures on the site we went for it! This was a special time for us and the wedding itself had been so stressful that it was just great to be on our own and be in our own 'house' at San Salvatore where we immediately felt looked after and able to relax. We think we couldn't have chosen better than this.

Comment: We loved the trullis and had a wonderful holiday in October. I can't believe it was already over a a month ago. Everything worked out perfectly and we all had a wonderful time together. The trullis were pefect and together made the ideal place to stay - we definately benefited from having 2 different places! The area was lovely - peaceful, relaxing, sunny and plenty to keep us busy. And the restaurants locally were fantastic. We particularly liked La Stazione on the way into Cisternino - a bit pricey perhaps but delicious food. So we all left with great memories and hope to return one day. Thanks again for all your help with information, wine and being at the end of an email to help out with my questions.

Comment: Perfect! Enjoyed the BBQs in the evenings, the peace and quiet, reading and, when we could be bothered, making forays into the village and to the towns to stock up with more delicious food. Unbelievable fruit and veg markets and bought too many shoes- of course. The trullo was in a good location with lovely views as well as being well equipped for the cooks. Comfortable and relaxing.

Comment: Our first sight of the trulli was breathtaking.It was perfect.The surrounding countryside was beautiful and so peaceful.We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and fell in love with the trulli and area. We will definitely go back for another holiday if not to buy our own property. Beware take plenty of suncream for during the day and insect repellent for evenings.To experience a little slice of real italy visit Cisternino at night.And for great food in Sisto.

Comment: We love Puglia but it was the first time we booked everything ourselves. So easy and it worked out really well. The house was great, bigger and more spacious than any other trullo we had stayed in before. The beaches were just beginning to get crowded when we left so we went back relaxed and suntanned. We saved so much money doing the trip this way that we went out a lot to eat and the kids loved that.

Comment: One of our main worries was not being able to find the place but the instructions were clear and it was a real pleasure to be able to get there, let ourselves in and explore without having to involve anyone else! We had a good and lazy time, pottering at home and visiting the towns around. People were friendly and even though they didn’t seem to understand English we got by with some French and gesturing! One day we will be back as a week was not really long enough to do everything we wanted to.

Unfortunately, whilst frantic packing was taking place Sasha took the opportunity to graffiti the bed spread in Ollies room.
She used a fully washable kids felt tip pen so it should come out in the wash.
However if it doesn't please let us know.
We have had 2 fantastic weeks and cannot wait to come back.
The trulli are lovely and very comfortable.
Many thanks.
