2/10 Poor

Rude owner, bad location, terrible
Je tenais à faire un commentaire concernant une réservation en juin à Fontana vecchia -Castellana Grotte. Tout d'abord pour rappel, le site se trouve en pleine campagne et n'est pas du tout indiqué pour un GPS, ce qui m'a fait tourné dans tout les sens durant 1 heure! Enfin en arrivant sur place, je n'était pas attendu, j'ai dû téléphoner et attendre 1 heure l'arrivée des proprios! Enfin à ma grande surprise, lorsqu'on m'a proposé le logement, j'ai constaté que ce n'était pas un Trulli, mais "une simple chambre exiguë d'environ 9 m2, sans fenêtre", ce n'était pas un Trulli! Il semble que je n'aurai pas réserver de Trulli! En fait les proprios ont introduits des chambres simples et amenés la confusion entre "chambre" et "appartement", l'appartement est un Trulli! C'est pour rire, le client ne peut faire la différence! Loin de ce que l'on peut lire sur leur site, les photos sont belles, mais la réalité est tout autre! Enfin après une heure de discutions sous la chaleur, de politesses irrespectueuses, les valises qui chauffaient dans la voiture, et de longs débats par téléphone, j'ai décidé faute de recevoir un TRULLI, de quitter cet endroit sans avoir satisfaction ni remboursement!

Paradise in Puglia
Stayed 3 nights in July, 2018 in one of their Truli rooms. Family run B&B where you are welcomed as a friend. Set in an orchard of olive and fruit trees you feel you are in an exlusive, private farm. Breakfast was served on the back terrace and changed every morning with different pastries, cheese, jams, eggs, etc. Having the large pool was a bonus after touring the area and then cooling off and relaxing poolside. Location is perfect as Alberobello, Castellane Grotte and Putignano easily within a 15 minute drive. Adriatic beaches near Monopoli only a 25 minute drive. My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at Fontana Vecchia and recommend staying here.

Peaceful and beautiful
Best Trulli to stay in! Quiet and secluded but not too far away from the main attractions! Very accommodating to our late arrival and fantastic breakfast each morning! Two things to update would be their wifi and a good cleaning of the floors, other than those issues, we will be back. My son also left a small toy and the owners are mailing it back to us! Superb family!

A delightful Trullo
Staying in an authentic trullo is different. By its nature it is a small (i.e. Cosy) room, and watch your head visiting the bathroom. To stay here, you have to drive down a narrow track for about a quarter of a mile, and you are therefore isolated....so peaceful. There is a lovely pool there, but it was mid October, so too cold. Because it was mid October, it was a little chilly....a request for heating had all hands to the pump getting the heating on, so it was warm when we returned from our evening meal. Breakfast was a delight, with personal service, local delicacies prepared by the hosts, etc. It seemed, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Beautiful Italian Country Bed & Breakfast
The breakfasts and accommodation here are fantastic. We were a family of three (two adults and a five year old) and we had a lovely trullo with a King sized double and great adventurous mezzanine for our son. The trullo has a basic kitchen in which we could make pasta or have a supper of cold meats and bread (all you need really in the heat!) and the beds, bathroom and other facilities were very comfortable. The thing that stood out more than anything though were the breakfasts which were truly (no pun intended!) authentically Italian. Every morning you get introduced to a new local cheese with local ham, homemade jams, pastries, local biscuits, bread and the best espresso homemade of course. The owners took real pride in making you feel comfortable and on the day we left they even brought us breakfast to our room as we were leaving early. This is a great find and we recommend it!

It was so relaxing to stay here, and the staff were very kind. Breakfast is made from local town treats or homemade Treats from the owners!! Italian hotels don't always have the best beds, but this was better than most!

Great accommodation in a Trulli
Great experience staying in an ancient Trulli, on a farm surrounded by olives and fruit trees, 10-15 minutes from Alberobello. Wonderful breakfasts with lovely hosts
