Hotel berhampiran L'antico telaio, Alberobello

This boutique hotel is really very special. As others have said, the rooms are beautiful, spacious and with beautiful balconies overlooking the local Trullis. The hotel is beautifully styled, and continental breakfast was great too. But it’s the service that made Palazzo Scotto really stand out. Valerio, the general factotum, welcomed us to his hotel and to Alberobello warmly and with great style. He offered local history, recommendations and was very charming. After dinner at a local restaurant we came back to Scotto for drinks to find Matthew, a great young pianist, entertaining the diners at the hotel. What’s more, Valerio appeared again, this time to croon beside the piano. He’s a very good singer and they had a varied repertoire which built a fantastic atmosphere. Definitely the most memorable evening we spent in Puglia. The team at this hotel pull out all the stops. Highly recommend.

Our group of 9 enjoyed outstanding hospitality, service and accommodations at this centrally located Hotel. Staff was multi lingual, courteous and thoughtful. Would highly recommend this family run hotel. We hope to return again.

This hotel is centrally located in a beautiful city, next to the train station and within walking distance of all those trulli, a magnificent cathedral and the main touristy part of town where there are many restaurants, cafes and bars. Despite this being an UNESCO World Heritage Site and at the height of the tourist season, it was not especially busy. The Astoria hotel service was exceptional throughout my stay. There were issues with the internet initially but those were quickly fixed by Franchesco, the irrepressible front desk attendant who also poured me a great glass of red at their bar. His help didn't stop there - he helped me with printing my boarding pass and showing me the locations of everything I needed to see. Thank you. The breakfast the next day was outstanding with fruits, cereal, pies, meats, cheeses, yoghurts and various other goodies. This place was really good value.

Very good location, just a short walk from the centre of Alberobello and all the remarkable Trulli Houses. Quiet, comfortable room and good air conditioning. But what made our stay so relaxing was the large and very beautiful pool area! Plenty of sun loungers available, large shady umbrellas plus a table and chairs for eating lunch. An excellent pool bar service was provided by a cheery young lady who brought our drinks and tomato and mozzarella paninis which were absolutely delicious!

Our second visit to this hotel, the previous occasion being 5 years ago. Situated in the countryside about 5 miles from the nearest towns on a quiet country road making it the perfect tranquil location. The rooms consisting of a series of modern Truli buildings across the immaculate grounds, we were near the pool and a few minutes walk from the restaurant and reception. However on this occasion our stay was a little disappointing. Firstly when we went into our room (15) we noticed the bed cover was torn around the bottom. My wife decided to have a bath before going to dinner but unfortunately there was no bath plug ! So whilst my wife had a shower I had a look around the room and noted that the coat hanger next to the entrance door was hanging off the wall and loose. Going into the bathroom the towel rail by the sink was also hanging off. The hotel staff were helpful and found a bath plug the next day. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The breakfasts were quite good on the whole but there was no fresh orange juice during our stay. Evening meals with the half board arrangement had a very limited menu that changed only twice all week. The starters were basically the same every day and the main courses were just a variation on a theme . The English translation of the menu was not accurate and on one occasion was totally wrong which caused a huge fuss in the kitchen. The main courses were often served with no salad or veg, just a piece of fish or meat and not much more. I understand the hotel has changed hands in recent years but there are signs of costs being cut in certain areas, i.e. room maintenance and meals. However these are areas that shouldn't be skimped on and it took the edge off our stay this time. We have done the whole area now and the hotel is well situated to do so but we are unlikely to return again.
