Apartments in Apulia, Italy

Stayed for three nights as part of a trip through Puglia and points north. The hotel (at least the part we saw) was a vertical stack of modest but clean and functional rooms, not fancy very good value for the money. Our room was on the 3rd floor, but these are floors with very high ceilings, so it was a real haul unless you used the tiny elevator. The resident manager was very helpful, pointing out places and restaurants for us, even going a bit above and beyond telling us how to get cheap bottled water nearby late on a SUnday evening to avoid having to buy it from the hotel. Location is excellent, an easy 10 - 15 min (European hotels always lowball the walking time from the local train station) walk with luggage from the train station, a gazillion restaurants within a few min walk, and convenient to many of historical attractions of Bari, including the old city. Would use again of I returned to Bari.

Unfortunately, I am forced to give a medium-sized judgement for the services that the structure offers : I stayed x 3 nights , true it is that the room delivers it at 16:00 but if you arrive before you can't enjoy the pool, The room is also to leave it by 11:00 but you can't continue to enjoy the same pool. ... Now tell me, I who stayed from 12 to 15 August how do I leave the pool at 11:00 a.m., the day of the feragost? After paying € 1200 x 3 nights, without lunch and the evening of the 14 I paid it apart! € 80 per person, buffet dinner without even a drink! The structure is old but has so much comfort, nn is bad ...but these disservices make me give a medium-soily judgement! Peccato!

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!

Our stay in Alberobello, apart from the absolutely cute village that it is, was straight out of a pinterest doll house. It was so beautifully and aesthetically done, that at first we just stared at everything in awe. We didn’t even feel like touching and disturbing the amazingly delicate and wonderful room. It was a trullo, the special type of houses in the region, and we felt like we were two small children living inside a fairy tale house. The trullo was at a little distance from the office of the people who run these Airbnb like properties all over the village. There were no cars allowed inside the village. So we did have to carry our luggage for a bit. We arrived quite late in the office, but Leonardo, the manager was patiently waiting for us to guide us to our trullo. The apartment had a separate living room, a bed room, a small kitchenette and a washroom. It was very well stocked with cookies, coffee and other savories. One of the best advice that we received, Leonardo told us to walk around the village/town at early morning. True to his words, it was the best. The lanes were empty, an occasional cat here and there, very few people and the top of the trulli brilliantly lit up by the rising sun. Thank you Leonardo for this and the entire team who run these apartments. Our check out was pretty smooth but with a pleasant surprise. As a parting gift, we were presented with a beautiful ceramic showpiece and a letter of thanks. The showpiece stands pretty on a shelf in my house and whenever I see it, I remember Alberobello. This was definitely the cherry on top. Such a gesture- lovely.
