While you can’t match the experience of actually staying inside a trullo, the truth is that all of their charm is on the outside. Our trullo was up a very long hill, unreachable by car, which was a problem with our heavy luggage. Inside, the trullo had plenty of space – kitchen, bathroom, living area, a nook for the bed and a ladder leading up to a single bed upstairs – and was decorated nicely, giving it a quaint, if rustic, feel. As in most trulli, however, the doorways are only about 5 feet high, so we were constantly banging our heads. The kitchen had most of the essentials
for making a cold breakfast, but no dishtowel, drying rack, paper towels, placemats, sponges, potholders, or other normal amenities one would need for cooking or cleaning. The cups and plates were badly cracked and chipped, and the only breakfast items provided were a few packaged biscuits, yogurt, juice, coffee and tea. Our hot water and heat (which were sorely needed, even in May) went out both nights; the first night we called the front office and the guy argued
that there was no such unit number as the one we were in. Once we explained how to get here (the trulli are spread out over several different streets), he came and fixed it (either the propane tank was empty or the pilot light went out). But the next night, it was too late and we were too tired to call again. (They did give us a discount when we checked out.) The shower/tub was of such a strange size and configuration that we were unable to take a real bath or shower, although we only had a few hours of hot water anyway. We don’t know if other rental trulli are more luxurious, but unless you’re really dying for the experience of living in a trullo and are willing to rough it, we’d recommend that you stay in a regular hotel.
