It’s the perfect place to unwind, relax and really try living the ‘Dolce Vita’. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway or two friends who don’t mind sharing a comfy double bed this is the perfect place for you.

Whichever room you decide on, after a good night's sleep you can wake up, take a dip in the salt water pool or just sit on the terrace and watch the Puglian day unfold. If you're joining us for breakfast you will meet your hosts and the other guests at the large communal table for an Italian style breakfast of local and homemade produce, over breakfast David and Francesco are always happy to share their knowledge about the local towns, tell you more about the must-see sights and share some of their favourite places to eat in the area.

David and Francesco moved to Puglia in 2012 to get away from the hustle and bustle of London and start a new chapter in their lives. ​ David has many years of experience in hospitality and retail. Most recently as part owner of the award-winning boutique ‘Black Truffle‘. Francesco has been a stylist, designer and fashion consultant in both London and Rome for many years. When David finally managed to coax Francesco to return to his native Italy, the two brought with them a unique flair for design, which is reflected in the decor at both Casa and Trullo della Scrittrice beautifully complimenting their existing charm. ​ Having worked with people from all over the world you can definitely be assured of a warm welcome from them and their very friendly dogs and cats.
