Hotel berhampiran Museo Dell'olio, Alberobello

Our stay in Alberobello, apart from the absolutely cute village that it is, was straight out of a pinterest doll house. It was so beautifully and aesthetically done, that at first we just stared at everything in awe. We didn’t even feel like touching and disturbing the amazingly delicate and wonderful room. It was a trullo, the special type of houses in the region, and we felt like we were two small children living inside a fairy tale house. The trullo was at a little distance from the office of the people who run these Airbnb like properties all over the village. There were no cars allowed inside the village. So we did have to carry our luggage for a bit. We arrived quite late in the office, but Leonardo, the manager was patiently waiting for us to guide us to our trullo. The apartment had a separate living room, a bed room, a small kitchenette and a washroom. It was very well stocked with cookies, coffee and other savories. One of the best advice that we received, Leonardo told us to walk around the village/town at early morning. True to his words, it was the best. The lanes were empty, an occasional cat here and there, very few people and the top of the trulli brilliantly lit up by the rising sun. Thank you Leonardo for this and the entire team who run these apartments. Our check out was pretty smooth but with a pleasant surprise. As a parting gift, we were presented with a beautiful ceramic showpiece and a letter of thanks. The showpiece stands pretty on a shelf in my house and whenever I see it, I remember Alberobello. This was definitely the cherry on top. Such a gesture- lovely.

The perfect accommodation when visiting Alberobello. Accommodation is unique and well located to allow you to explore the town. We stayed in a Trulli that had 2 courtyards. It was private, nicely decorated & very comfortable. The Aircon was efficient & made our stay very comfortable as the temperature was in the mid 30’s during our stay. The staff were friendly & helpful & provide a generous breakfast only a few minutes walk away to help start our day. We appreciated having access to parking close by at Eur 10/day with easy exit & return should you want to go sightseeing. Parking was an issue in some towns we visited & having access to parking made our stay all the more enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Romantic Trulli to anyone visiting Alberobello & would love to stay there again.

Oh my goodness, this was beyond what I was expecting! What a beautiful experience staying in an authentic Trulli. Ours was No 59 down its own little side street just off the main drag. I felt like I had stepped back in time, but with just the right amount of modern touches to make your stay comfortable. Our host Francesco was so helpful in recommending our experience, and an excellent choice of restaurant for dinner at La Cantina, we even saw him giving guided tours around the village. Breakfast was in the wine bar, next to the check in area and was enough to set you up for the day. The photos you see of Alberobello just don't do it justice, you HAVE to come to experience it yourself. An amazing overnight experience..... thank you Francesco.

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.

Καντρικότατη τοποθεσία, πλάι σχεδόν στην περιοχή με τους τρόπους, Εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό. Πολύ καλός καπουτσίνο στο πρωινό και ωραίο το αίθριο όπου σερβίρεται το πρωινό. Ιδιαίτερο το κτίριο καθώς στεγάζεται σε παλιό μοναστήρι με την εκκλησία του. Λιτό, ψηλοτάβανο δωμάτιο, καθόλου του γούστου μου, αλλά, καθώς η διαμονή ήταν μόνο για μια νύχτα, προσπερνώ τη διακόσμηση... Η φίλη μου θα ήθελε air-condition, εμένα δεν μου έλειψε καθολου (υπήρχε επιδαπεδιος ανεμιστήρας)

Stayed at the hotel for two nights. Staff very helpful rooms very clean and a very good breakfast. One can book the dinner at the hotel. With a little cost of 5 euro a night one can book a paking space in the garage but there is a parking space outside for free.

As stated the hotel is isolated and set up for conferences, weddings, tours. Having said that, we found the staff (especially the waiting staff and bar staff) were friendly and helpful and cheerful, especially as they were run off their feet. The reception team were cheerless and had that couldn't be bothered attitude. Setting- Grounds and pool area lovely. We didn't use the pool but others told us it was very cold. You can hire towels but changing them costs 3e each time- something that should be included in a 4* hotel. Rooms- Having read previous reviews, we asked for one with a view ( rather than looking inwards at the other buildings) It was nice and light with a balcony and chairs/ table. Bed was large and very comfortable and room spacious. Dark and quiet at night too. No English TV channels, but a huge flat screen TV over the vanity area without a mirror. Bathroom - large and has a rainfall shower. Plenty of towels, but too dark. A/C was good the first half of the week (although you cannot adjust the temperature manually, you have to ring reception to change the stat!) the second half of the week, the A/C was running loudly all night, without cooling. We did report this but it was never rectified. I guess no one bothered as many guests only stay a night or 2. WIFI kept dropping out in the bedroom- you had to pick up the signal right at the bedroom door ( it was fine in public areas) Again , we reported this but we got a shrug of the shoulders from reception staff who said no one had ever had a problem! The towels were replaced daily and bedding changed once during the week, however the cleaning was under par. Neither the floors nor the units were cleaned all week. Ladies, take your own hairdryer ( its an old fashioned tube one in the bathroom) and an extension lead as the only mirror is on the wardrobe as you enter the bedroom. There's a quiet fridge in the room. Its safe to use the tap water to drink. Meals- We were part of a smallish group and sat in the smaller, quieter dining room. It was a relief as the main hall is HUGE and like a canteen. (This is where the breakfast buffet is set up) Evening meals were generally very nice. 3 courses , nouvelle cuisine style . You choose from 3 choices ( for each course ) the night before. The translation doesn't always work too well, but its lots of fun! Considering the huge numbers of meals produced, the kitchen does well, and the waiting staff are hardworking and smiley. Wines are reasonably priced, and the staff will save your bottle for you for the next evening. Breakfasts varied in that if you have an early start you may be jostling with huge parties of people ( some not so polite!) to collect your food and drinks. Coffee is typically Italian and very strong, but there are hot and cold milks to hand. There are cereals, fruit, honey, yogurt, pastries, scrambled egg, boiled eggs, cheeses and ham, and tomatoes. Bread, a toaster and butter and jams. Yes, there are sometimes waits for replenis
