Itineraries

Staying in Alberobello puts you in a UNESCO heartland in Puglia: from The trullo you can day-trip to the Valle d'Itria, the coast and Murgia villages. Destinations are in the image captions below (approximate driving distances). We do not run tours; maximum 2 guests. Availability: Book now.

Why Alberobello as a base

Trullo Aprìco is on via Monte San Gabriele in the Monti district: a short walk from the Siamese Trullo, Sant'Antonio trullo church and the UNESCO core.

Roads from here lead easily to Locorotondo, Martina Franca and the coast; Bari and Lecce are doable in a day if you mix villages and cities.
