We were presented with a two bedroom Trulli on a side street in Alberobello and could not have been more pleased. At $50 per day it included a small kitchenette with fridge used prepare breakfast every day from items bought at the local mercato and butcher shop. The bath was clean and bright with plentiful towels. The only drawback was that the unit had not been heated for a while and it took the stone walls and marble floor quite a while to get warmed up--wear slippers!! Dino and Katia, our hosts, were most gracious. When the propane bottle was found to be empty they had their man bring a new one even though it was very late at night. The travelling market was just down the street and was up and running by the time we finished breakfast. What a glorious time barganing for everything from clothing to foodstuffs. We used Trullidea as our base of operations to scamper (in our teeny-tiny auto)all over southern Puglia from Bari to Brindisi, from the Adriatic to Taranto--visiting all the markets on their given day of operation. I had taken Dino some tools from the USA for his workshop and he thanked us with two bottles of the most glorious local wine. (And I usually don't drink wine!) I must mention "Il Forno di Cristo" a family run trattoria-pizzeria-bar close to Trullidea. It features a broad menu (both Italian & English) and super friendly service. Please tell them "Joe-the football fan" sent you! This well priced eatery is on Via Monte Sabotino right across from Guisseppe's "La Lira" bread and sandwich shop. Very friendly and helpful folks all. I will return as often as I am able to this little slice of heaven.

The Trullidea was great, our trulli was clean, comfortable (the bed was one of the best I've slept on in Italy) and you can't beat the location - right in the middle of Alberobello - or the price, we paid 86 Euro for 2 beds and a small kitchenette. Trulli great! Definitely recommend.

Trullidea is exceeded expectations: immaculate, roomy, authentic wrought iron and hand made furniture, big bathroom, like living in history only comfy. Fluent English spoken by staff, great shops and restaurants in the area. Don't miss this one! We even had a fireplace!

What can you say about staying in your own little round house! It is fantastic...quaint...quirky...The houses are well equipped, ours had its own kitchenette.
The town is charming, and the Italian restaurant 'Il Pinnacolo' just up Via Monte Nero from the Trullidea reception office was our best meal of the holiday!
