The town of Alberobello in Italy is primarily visited by tourists who come to meander through its shaded streets, which are unlike anything else in the world. Exploring the interiors of the conserved traditional Trullo cottages offers a unique perspective on rural life in the early 1900s and helps to appreciate how they were originally used and kept.

From the town square, eight tiny lanes rise up Rione dei Monti, the town’s oldest section, nearly parallel to one another. The Sant’Antonio da Padova Church, the only Trullo church in the world, is accessible from every street. The town is a true fantasy, with its streets lined with quaint homes, stores, eateries, ice cream shops, and other attractions that make for an enjoyable promenade.

Wander through the Rione Aia Piccola neighborhood, where there are 500 or more trulli and fewer commercialized areas, for a more genuine feeling of life among the trulli. Locals can be seen going about their daily lives there.

Whether it’s an unforgettable event for a family of six or more, or a romantic evening for two, there are solutions to fit any budget. Revel in the chance to travel back in time by staying in an eccentric, quaint chamber with a cone shape reminiscent of bygone eras.
