Don't fall for this! Extremely commercial couple, experts in marketing and sales, but otherwise ‘amateurs’, charging the maximum of the maximum, ridiculously high prices for what they but offer, and only offering the very minimum once on site! They call it ‘Trulivo’; ‘true life’, but more correct is ‘true lie, faux’!! 260 € is what they charge for the trullo ‘the fig’, a small trullo with a nice shower but that's all, no other comforts whatsoever, and you get the cheapest possible breakfast they can give, no choice at all, no fruit juice, no cheese nor ham, … only little homemade jam, … and certainly not the beautiful fruit they present on their website, instead 2 small pieces of unripe and tasteless fruit! The room is not cleaned nor the bathroom, and the bed is not made. Even a last-minute price of 183 /n. for this trullo is still way too expensive compared to other honest stays. ‘Tenuta Monacelle’, only 11 km away, offers very spacious and nice superior rooms for only 120 €/n early-booking price; excellent stay with all comfort, extra spacious room and extra-spacious private terrace, in a beautiful domain of no less than 22 ha. A ‘classic room’ costs less and a trullo costs even less! The breakfast buffet is very varied and realy tasty, and the restaurant anyway consists of very beautiful trulli. We also booked a superior room in ‘Torre del Parco 1419’ in Lecce, extremely beautiful and unique stay in this ‘Unesco’ town, for only 190 €/n. for a very spacious and magnificent room with a very large private terrace, excellent breakfast included ... highly recommended! In short, Trulivo is a real tourist trap!
