Lovely Rural Setting
A very nice Trulli with lots of outdoor space and a wonderful big (15m) pool, particularly great if you like active swimming which we do. Love the garden where you can pick your own fruit and veg.

Trulli amazing
We had a wonderful stay in this stunning trullo surrounded by a beautiful garden complete with the huge pool, we could not ask for anything better than this : away from it all but still at a driving distance from all the beautiful and quaint towns and sites around. We would go back without hesitation. Highly recommended if you are looking to experience the trullo life. The property manager was very nice and helpful.

A beautiful secluded Trulli in lovely grounds. Antonella was a superhero , coming to our rescue after a puncture in our way from the airport nothing was too much trouble. We picked delicious and almonds for breakfast each day. It’s the perfect place to kick back and unwind. We really hope to come again.

We followed suggestions from the comprehensive welcome book the owners left for us, they have thought of everything to make our stay run smoothly.

Beautiful week in beautiful surroundings
We had a fabulous time at Trulli Mimosa! The trulli house is so beautifully restored and has so much character. The kids absolutely loved the huge pool and seemed to spend every minute in it. We enjoyed the property grounds so much, the outside area is stunning and practical at the same time. The managers of the property Hilary and John are so helpful and friendly, we had terrible delay with RyanAir but they waited for us until we showed up (past 1am) to check us in. Wifi wasn't working well but who needs it when you're in such a fab place :) We are already dreaming of going back!

We have fallen in love with Puglia !!!!!!
We had a lovely warm welcome from the wonderfull caretakers. The Trulli was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The owner has great taste.
We followed many of the suggestions in the welcome book, going to quite a few of the restaurants suggested. We got a warm reception from them also, Trulli Mimosa guests are made feel very welcome there too.
We realy loved all the local customs and activities surrounding Easter, sometimes we thought we must be back 100 years watching the age old processions.
We tried the Cheff one night and loved the Pasta making lesson
We wiil be back

Wow!
What an amazing Trulli ! Wow is what we said as soon as we saw our little slice of Heaven. It was everything and more than we hoped for.We have fallen in love with Puglia. Liz the Welcome Book was amazing it was our Bible. Thankyou so much for sharing your home with us we hope to come back. Ostuni, Alberobello and Matera are a must visit. Our favourite beaches were on the Ionian coast a hours drive but well worth it. The food is to die for especially the Foccacia and meat from St Michele. A special mention to Jackie who was so kind and helpful. What can we say ? Shhhh don't tell everyone we don't really want to share our amazing find. Perfect from start to finish
Kind Regards

Beautiful Trulli for a Beautiful Holiday
It was really an amazing and unique experience to stay in a trulli. This one was particularly lovely and so nicely furnished and decorated and outfitted with everything you need for your stay. The master bedroom was just lovely with its crisp white linens, comfy bed and doors leading to the outside terrace. The grounds around the trulli are expansive with olive and fruit trees and the pool is fantastic and so pleasant to be in after a day of sightseeing in the heat! Plenty of room for dining outside or relaxing by the pool . It is really quiet as well in this area-very peaceful! The caretaker, Jacki, is also extremely kind, thoughtful, and accommodating and checked on us before our arrival and throughout our stay, which is so nice to have so you feel you can contact someone if you have a problem or question. The trulli is situated between 2 towns, so shops and restaurants are easily accessible. All the recommendations in the Welcome Book for sightseeing and restaurants and shopping were spot on and very helpful. Needless to say, we ate very well! We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Pugilla
I had a wonderful time at Trulli Mimosa, it was like an oasis in a busy world. The pool was fantastic it was so good to be able to swim every day and the local food was delicious.
It was great just to hang around and not feel I had to do something and likewise Trulli Mimosa was a hub for any of the beautiful towns and beach we wanted to visit during our stay. We didn't have children with us but it would be a lovely place for a family holiday. I would definitely go back.

So cute and authentic with all mod cons
If you want to experience true Italian life then Trulli Mimosa is out of this world. We loved every moment from start to finish. The house has two bedrooms, one quite small but so charming! The round bathroom is so cute and we loved the outside space with all the different places to sit and dine. The pool is enormous and really great for children.. everything has been thought through in terms of comfort and there are lots of shady places to sit and enjoy the considerable sunshine.

Wisteria and sunshine
Your garden reminded us of the movie Enchanted April, the garden is so beautiful , we wandered along the little paths and tried to identify all the flowers and fruit trees. We sat on the Veranda looking towards the pool and watched the dragonflies and swifts dip down to drink the water. We hadn't realised how much birdsong and nature there would be. We had such a relaxing time, we slept like baby's and loved it all. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home.

Quaint, well equipped, isolated.
Our party consisted of four adults. We arrived on a sunny day to be met by the helpful and accommodating manager Kevin. First impressions as we drove along the driveway and arrived at the property were - beautifully restored Trulli house, lovely pool and neat gardens. On closer inspection of the house we were a little disappointed by the size and feel it would be suitable only for 2 adults and 2 small children. We had to move furniture in order to accommodate our suitcases on the available floor area. Main bedroom lovely and bed ok. The second bedroom really not suitable for adults, the two single beds had been pushed together however the mattresses were not the same height and, on closer inspection one mattress in particular appeared very old with protruding springs. This despite many assurances from the owner that the mattresses were new and more than suitable for adults. Thankfully Kevin was able to provide us with several quilts to 'cushion' the mattress which made it just bearable.
Bathroom adequate with good pressure in shower but extremely poor pressure at basin, impossible to get hot water there within a reasonable time frame.
No wifi for the entire week although in fairness this was apparently due to storm activity, however it was inconvenient since the nearest town is a good 15-20 minute drive.
On a positive note, kitchen well equipped with all utensils, pots etc as well as essentials such as oil, food wrap etc. We appreciated the basic food items, cereal, bread, milk etc which had been left for us, Washing machine was also appreciated after several weeks travel.
Plenty of pool furniture although cushions and chairs quite tired looking and some of the furniture unusable as it was soaking wet due to being left in the rain prior to our arrival.
Considering the cost we would have expected better mattresses at least.

Beautiful setting and gardens, an attractive trullo
We had a great stay, and enjoyed exploring the local area. The main bedroom is comfortable and spacious and the interior was cool in AUgust summer weather. Lovely spacious garden and lots of seating areas we enjoyed, could really spread out. We found the house manual a little confusing with distances, locations and recommendations - but once we got to grips with the area that was fine. The bathroom was fine and kitchen too, although a little old fashioned. We preferred to use the shower outside as 4 of us sharing one bathroom/toilet. A lot of the pool toys were broken and there was no pump which was a shame but again not a major problem. It was authentic and somewhere very different to stay that was comfortable and fun. Communications were good and the property was managed by helpful and friendly Enlgish speaking managers. Thank you.

Beautiful property, wonderful pool and great facilities
As a family of 5 with 3 children aged 13, 11 & 9, Trulli Mimosa did us proud. The kids loved the pool & grounds (with fresh figs & plums) and they could be as noisy as they wanted without disturbing anyone! The master bedroom was fantastic and although the house is more suited to 4 rather than 5, the facilities were great. All the local villages & towns were beautiful, but our favourite was Ceglie Messapica; heading there for an evening meal followed by a gentle stroll became a ritual. We experienced a strong northly wind for some of the week (unusual for Puglia) so rather than using the Ionian beaches all the time we headed further south to Campomarino – where the water was calm, clear and warm. Jacki & Kev (the caretakers) could not have been more helpful

Sehr schönes Haus mit tollem Garten/ Probleme gab es jedoch
Der Trulli ist sehr schön und der Garten ist einfach wundervoll.
Man kann sich bei den Früchten bedienen.
Die Umgebung ist auch perfekt für tolle Ausflüge.
Leider gab es mehrmals Probleme warmes Wasser zu bekommen. Manchmal gab es sogar gar kein Wasser. Wir hatten Glück dass Liz (Vermieterin) in der Zeit auch in der Nähe war
Sie hat sich sofort ganz toll darum gekümmert.
Jedoch erwartet man für diesen Preis schon ein etwas anderen Standard. Das Haus war von der Sauberkeit in Ordnung.
Die Haushälterin war leider sehr unverschämt. Sie verlangte extra Gebühren da wir kurz nach 19 Uhr eincheckten. Dies stand nicht in der Beschreibung und auch ansonsten wären wir aufgeschmissen gewesen, wenn Liz (Vermieterin) nicht auch zur selben Zeit dort Urlaub gemacht hätte.
Die Haushälterin hätte uns gar nicht so weiter helfen können. Ohne Liz wären wir aufgeschmissen gewesen.
Liz hat uns die extra Gebühr für den Check in dann wieder erstattet.
Der Pool ist eigentlich traumhaft. Leider waren wir nicht einmal drin. Er war viel zu kalt. Nur beim Füße rein hängen waren sie schon nach kurzer Zeit knall rot.
Es kommt regelmäßig jemand zum Pool säubern und Wasser wechseln. Eigentlich alles gut bis auf die Temperatur und wir sind wirklich nicht empfindlich.
Wir danken Liz dennoch dafür dass sie versucht hat die Unannehmlichkeiten zu beseitigen.

We absolutely loved it. The Trullo is beautiful and very well equipped. The garden and pool area was just what we were looking for. Antonella is very hospitable and helped us a lot during our stay. We visited with our 6 months old baby and all we needed for her was taken care of. Just the perfect vacation we needed. Would definitely recommend to others! Hope to see you again soon Antonella!
