Puglia hotels - Trulli Holiday Hotel, Alberobello

Trulli Holiday Hotel, Alberobello

Trulli Holiday Hotel, Alberobello is at the heart of the region of Puglia, in southern Italy. Puglia is an extraordinary place. There is no escaping the historic influences, perhaps demonstrated most clearly in the amazingly ornate churches and cathedrals: there's a superb example in the Baroque architecture of Lecce and again in Martina Franca, both testament to Puglia's Spanish legacy. The geographical diversity of this region is consistently interesting too - from the relatively flat, fertile landscape off the Ionian Sea to the more mountainous and craggy Adriatic coastline.

Alberobello lies between the two airport cities of Bari and Brindisi and is characterised by the 1000 or so trulli dwellings that are scattered throughout this region but concentrated predominantly in this very pretty town. The three-star Trulli Holiday Hotel enables everyone to experience living in one of these unique buildings. With their stone walls, circular shape and conical roof, they provide shelter and warmth in the winter and are cool in the summer. Each trullo is carefully furnished and comes equipped with a bathroom, kitchenette, fridge, TV, modem link, desk and lamp and air conditioning. Available in three different sizes, suitable for parties of 2, 3 or 4, every trullo is unique and consequently each building has different features - many have fireplaces, gardens and barbecues and these Unesco World Heritage monuments are a fantastic alternative to a modern hotel.

For that added luxury, there is a trullo large enough for two couples, with two bedrooms and bathrooms, it also comes equipped with antique furniture, kitchen, living room, and small garden and terrace. The restaurant and bar are there for when cooking becomes tiresome and the lure of the fantastic regional cuisine becomes too much. To complete this rather perfect picture there is a concierge service providing dry cleaning and laundry services. The friendly staff are also on hand to supply local information and maps, restaurant reservations and information on leisure activities. They can also arrange airport transfers so that your holiday can begin and end with comfort and ease.
