Hotel dei Trulli is a boutique hotel set within a cluster of authentic trulli—the UNESCO-listed conical-roofed stone dwellings characteristic of the Valle d'Itria—on Via Cadore in Alberobello, Bari province, Apulia. The property combines the unique architectural experience of sleeping in a traditional trullo with the amenity set of a conventional hotel, including a restaurant, bar, outdoor pool, and daily housekeeping. The trulli are dispersed naturally across terraced gardens rather than clustered artificially, preserving their traditional spacing.
Guest accommodation is provided entirely within trullo rooms, ranging from standard trullo doubles to larger trullo family rooms. Rates begin at approximately €100 per night for double configurations and €160 or more for family-sized units. Each trullo is finished with traditional whitewashed stone walls, terracotta floors, and vaulted ceilings, while including modern amenities such as air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms, and Wi-Fi. The thick stone walls provide effective thermal regulation, keeping rooms cool in summer and retaining warmth in cooler months.
The hotel restaurant serves Puglian cuisine with a focus on traditional orecchiette pasta, grilled meats, locally produced cheeses, and regional olive oil. Breakfast is included in most room rates and served in the restaurant or on the garden terrace. The outdoor pool is surrounded by olive trees and garden planting, providing a cool retreat during hot Apulian summers. A bar adjacent to the pool serves drinks and light snacks throughout the day.
Alberobello's main trulli district, the Rione Monti, is within walking distance of the hotel. The concierge can assist with guided tours of the town, excursions to Locorotondo and Castellana Grotte, and transfers to Bari.
