"We had an excellent stay at Casa Sulla Collina and the managment company were there to welcome us on our arrival, which was very reassuring.The villa is in a quiet and peaceful location with stunning views. The property is immaculate, with a very well stocked kitchen, lovely lounge area and comfortable sized bedrooms. We enjoyed having dinner at the outdoor dining table in the evening and drinks on the terrace watching the sun set. The extensive gardens are beautiful and the pool is a welcome addition on hot days too. The location of the villa is ideal to explore some of the historic towns that are within easy reach, we particularly enjoyed Cisternino. Thank you to our host Amanda, and Martino and Nico for the friendly welcome."

"The photos of Angelita's home and the general information about the very charming and welcoming town of Cisternino do not do justice to this vacation rental! My husband and I and our two friends loved it! Overall, there is a serenity and a sense of place at Casa Cecca that is timeless. The high ceilings and cool tiled floors make it a perfect summertime outdoor/indoor space. The eat in kitchen is compact, yet workable, although a microwave would be a welcome addition to the stove top and toaster oven. There is only one washroom, but it is beautifully remodelled and has a luxurious rainhead shower. During the day and on fine evenings the long wooden table under a pergola in the backyard is perfect for apero and alfresco meals. There are plenty of chairs and loungers!The jacuzzi was not much in use as our mid to late September days were cooler and we were routinely touring all the notable "white cities" as well as nearby beach and historic towns. We travelled to Ostuni, Alborobella, Locotorondo, Bari, Porto Caesarea, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Lecce, and Matera. Phenomenal day trips, great food, and history lessons, galore! Staying in the area of those special structures, the Trulli, was a daily delight!Angelita was a very caring and responsive host, and always addressed any concerns or requests that we expressed. Overall, we had great Apulian wine and food experiences, met lovely locals, and enjoyed being a short uphill walk from our comfortable home to Cisternino."

"On arrival no one advised regarding an issue with the swimming pool. We were shocked to go to it and find the pool bright green in colour. We enquired at reception and were advised the pool was being tested routinely and it was safe for guests to use. Staff advised it had been like that for 6 days and was due to grass cuttings blowing into the pool. We did not use the pool as we had safety concerns. The next day I asked to speak to the hotel Director regarding my concerns but he was not on site and reception staff did not know when he would visit next. I asked if the hotel had informed the ASL (local health authority) of the bright green pool issue and the fact that it was open for use but I did not receive an answer. I suggested the pool needed to be closed for guest safety, a notice informing guests of the issue and further testing for bacteria. Within an hour my suggestions were implemented and they starting to drain the pool. I never did get to use the pool during my 4 day stay and I never did get to speak to the Hotel Director about the issue. The hotel itself is in a beautiful setting and the guest facing staff extremely pleasant. Actions by Hotel Management in responding to the bright green pool issue was not to my personal standard as in my view guest safety is their highest priority. The trip was spoiled not so much by the lack of use of the swimming pool (mistakes do happen) but the response to the issue and lack of availability to Hotel Management."

"Fantastic stay! The rooms were incredible and the pool area was very luxurious. Very quiet and ideal for a few days as a break from travelling around the region. Would highly recommend "

"We had a wonderful stay at Trulli Vistas. The house is even better than the photos suggest. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very well equipped. The pool was fabulous and the views from the house are lovely. The house is within 15 minutes of some gorgeous small towns and only a 20 minute drive from the beach. Neil was fantastic and was on hand to answer any questions and offer advice on bike rides, restaurant recommendations and beaches. The bike ride (with bikes delivered to the house) to Locorotondo along the cycle path that runs right next to the house was a highlight - stunning countryside and a relatively easy cycle. Excellent communication from Glenn from the moment we booked to when we arrived with suggestions for places to stop for lunch on the way to Trulli Vistas as well as ideas for where to visit during the rest our stay in Puglia. Thank you! I would highly recommend staying at Trulli Vistas - if you are wondering whether to book then you absolutely should!"

"Fantastic week at this property. Really memorable and was sad to leave. "
