La Cascata

Excellent.

Julia made me feel well looked after, and breakfast was delicious. The carefully and creatively decorated room was very clean, and the bed was heavenly. I didn’t lack anything. It’s peaceful countryside, with Noci just 5 minutes away. The town has plenty of restaurants and a supermarket, but isn’t overcrowded. It’s an ideal base for exploring the area, especially if you have a car or rental. Monopoli is a 25-minute drive, Polignano 30 minutes, and Bari about 40. The old town in Noci is beautiful and still relatively uncrowded. The Castellana Caves are well worth seeing and about 15 minutes away, as are Alberobello and more.

Our room was called "Muschio Bianco," and its colors and furnishings took inspiration from nature and the trulli. The mini suites are in trulli, with living rooms and kitchenettes, and everything was impeccably maintained. The sheets were exceptionally clean and smelled fresh, and I’ve never felt so at home. The bathroom even had things you don’t usually find, like cotton swabs, a comb, mosquito spray, baby wipes, and mobility aids for elderly people and children. I stayed here with my boyfriend. It’s surrounded by nature, with a large garden where rabbits, ducks, and kittens roam. The owners were kind, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The place is easy to reach by car, and sits conveniently between the historic center and the exit toward nearby towns. Parking is available, which is a big plus. Breakfast was excellent, served in a lovely gazebo on the lawn.

GOOD PLACE! It’s pretty and relaxing, and I slept well on a very comfortable bed. The windows all have functional mosquito nets that keep insects and other critters out. Everything was very clean. Breakfast was decent, though it could use fewer industrial products and more homemade food. Mrs. Giulia tries hard to please everyone. Recommended.
