Charming Trulli in Alberobello

Very cute and unique accommodation in Trulli the cone roofed traditional houses. We had a mezzanine floor with a queen bed and a king bed on the ground floor. There was a tiny courtyard that was excellent for drying washing. They also supplied a kettle and tea and coffee but no milk. Despite the door opening onto the street it was very quiet at night.

Nice small development of Trulli in a quiet part of town outside the historical centre (thankfully.) Got free parking easily just a few mins walk away as per the instructions given. Pleasant inside…small sitting room and ‘kitchen ‘ area though it would have been useful to have actual cooking facilities or even some basic cutlery! Not even a bottle opener! A bit annoying not to have all these things. Although there was a kettle, there weren’t even any spoons for stirring.Everything was in these little paper throwaway pouches, so little sticks only for stirring. It was cold inside too given the cave nature of the house and it would have been nice if the heating had been put in for us arriving(which we told them in advance was 4.30pm, plenty notice.) I got the impression everything was designed to be as little work for staff, rather than comfortable for guests. The roof terrace was pleasant but not really somewhere that offered attractive views. We visited the historic centre later that afternoon and it has been destroyed by tourism.Every house is full of tourist tat, reducing the overall experience.Lovely views over the roof tops however from the newer part of town.There is a more authentic area of Trulli which are still lived in so that’s worth strolling around. A small Todi supermarket is located about a 10 min walk from the accommodation. Far too many emails from staff pre visit; it got annoying.Pre filling out passport info etc, pushing us about arrival time on at least two occasions; advising several times of extra cost if you arrive after 7pm.Annoying when you are exploring elsewhere and staff clearly want to head off asap and take as little to do with you time wise on arrival.That was my feeling anyway.
