Trullidea

“Loved it”

I absolutely loved my stay here. I had room 34 which was large, had its own private garden and patio as well as a bed upstairs and downstairs.

I absolutely loved my stay here. I had room 34 which was large, had its own private garden and patio as well as a bed upstairs and downstairs. It was tucked away at the end of a street so was lovely and quiet. The bed was really comfortable. Initially I thought it was a bit away from the main area but nothing is far from anywhere in Alberobello. I was part of a group and we had our luggage delivered to our rooms which was excellent. I opted to have the breakfast at the local cafe (part of the deal) which worked really well.

“A Trulli Unique Stay”

My husband and I visited Alberobello the very first few days of July and had the loveliest time staying with Trullidea for 3 nights. We booked room “TRISTIDDE 41” which featured a private outdoor space to relax in and could not have been happier. Trullidea has a bunch of “spread out” trulli so it … more

My husband and I visited Alberobello the very first few days of July and had the loveliest time staying with Trullidea for 3 nights. We booked room “TRISTIDDE 41” which featured a private outdoor space to relax in and could not have been happier. Trullidea has a bunch of “spread out” trulli so it is not a typical hotel/accommodation with a main reception and all rooms in one “building” This is very clear on the website, but thought I should emphasize this anyhow. This makes for a very unique, intimate experience — as if you are living in the town! The location of this accommodation is prime since the reception office is located on one of the main streets within the Rione Monti district and so are their Trulli. Our trullo was located in a quieter part of the town (as described on the website) and this was wonderful because we wanted to be close to everything but prefer quiet & private accommodation. This allowed us to get the best of both! Just walk one minute and you’re in all the action! The trullo itself was very comfortable with different places to sit and relax and we appreciated that breakfast could be sent directly to the room every morning. No issues with staying cool even in the heat of the summer since the architecture of a trullo makes it cool inside by default but the AC functioned perfectly as well. Staff were very kind and we were given great restaurant recommendations and even a great recommendation for a local tour guide. Most people only take a day trip to Alberobello but you only get to “trulli” experience this place by staying at least an extra day and do not pass the opportunity to stay in a trullo like this one!

“Unique experience let down by breakfast”

It was lovely to stay in Trulli in a quiet street, however we had paid a fairly big supplement to our tour company so I was expecting something a bit more luxurious than what we got. Some of the furnishings were very basic. The bathroom was very modern and nice and the standard of cleaning was excellent. The bed was comfortable. What let it down was breakfast taken in a nearby cafe. Having paid £300-£400 for a room for two nights I would expect something more than a hostel breakfast….we got one small cappuccino, the end of a baguette with some cheese and meat and a croissant with no butter/jams. It felt as though breakfast was being provided as cheaply as possible. There were tea and coffee facilities in the room…some milk would have been nice too.

“You need to be able to carry your luggage.”

We arrived to start our cycling holiday. The taxi dropped us off at the start of the pedestrian zone and we then carried our luggage through to reception and then up a steep and stepped path to our Trulli.

We arrived to start our cycling holiday. The taxi dropped us off at the start of the pedestrian zone and we then carried our luggage through to reception and then up a steep and stepped path to our Trulli. This must have been about 400 mtrs in total. There was no porter or any kind of vehicle to get us there or back the next morning. The final section of the path was literally a building site and the builders helped carry our luggage through that bit the next morning or we would have waded through wet cement. We had breakfast delivered, it was hot and tasty and much the best option, the alternative was apparently chaotic. Bed was comfortable, room was cool and dark. Avoid the rip-off cafes in the pedestrian zone.
