Rude owner, bad location, terrible

Je tenais Ă  faire un commentaire concernant une rĂ©servation en juin Ă  Fontana vecchia -Castellana Grotte. Tout d'abord pour rappel, le site se trouve en pleine campagne et n'est pas du tout indiquĂ© pour un GPS, ce qui m'a fait tournĂ© dans tout les sens durant 1 heure! Enfin en arrivant sur place, je n'Ă©tait pas attendu, j'ai dĂ» tĂ©lĂ©phoner et attendre 1 heure l'arrivĂ©e des proprios! Enfin Ă  ma grande surprise, lorsqu'on m'a proposĂ© le logement, j'ai constatĂ© que ce n'Ă©tait pas un Trulli, mais "une simple chambre exiguĂ« d'environ 9 m2, sans fenĂȘtre", ce n'Ă©tait pas un Trulli! Il semble que je n'aurai pas rĂ©server de Trulli! En fait les proprios ont introduits des chambres simples et amenĂ©s la confusion entre "chambre" et "appartement", l'appartement est un Trulli! C'est pour rire, le client ne peut faire la diffĂ©rence! Loin de ce que l'on peut lire sur leur site, les photos sont belles, mais la rĂ©alitĂ© est tout autre! Enfin aprĂšs une heure de discutions sous la chaleur, de politesses irrespectueuses, les valises qui chauffaient dans la voiture, et de longs dĂ©bats par tĂ©lĂ©phone, j'ai dĂ©cidĂ© 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.
