The rooms are okay, there is an outdoor pool. But there are negatives; there is a hotel bar but closed, the staff in the restaurant have trouble understanding what was asked when spoken to in English. When taking drinking orders at a table with 4 persons, after writing down one of the guests drink, he want to walk away instead of writing down the other guests wishes. Positive is the distance to the Trulli houses, just about 400 meters.

This is a small, family owned hotel which is well equipped to support a relaxing stay. Many guests stayed just one or two nights as this hotel is really well situated to vista the Trulli of Alberobello.

We stayed a whole week and visited other areas, using the hotel as a base. The pool is really lovely and clean and there was never an issue getting a lounger; we sometimes had it to ourselves.

The rooms were of a good size, very clean and had everything we needed, including a small fridge which was really helpful. Good WiFi once we realised we could also use the hotel’s piscina (pool) WiFi (which was needed in the superior, garden view rooms).

The hotel can cater to large tourist groups, but they sweep in quietly late at night, eat breakfast and leave early, so had little effect at all on guests staying around the hotel. Had no impact on us what so ever, (plenty of space & food at breakfast etc).

We ate in the hotel restaurant each night and had breakfast every morning and I can’t rate the food or the waiters highly enough..... Fantastico! ....it really made our holiday. 😋

Has good amenities near by... a wealth of restaurants, shops and cafe’s in beautiful 😍Alberobello (a 5-10 min stroll to the centre). Also has a small supermarket and cafe’s / pastry / ice cream shops very close by (check opening times as they have typical Puglian afternoon closing).

We had a couple of special requests during our stay and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Generally in the region, English is not always spoken, but we didn’t have any issues in Alberobello town and the staff at the hotel have great English. (We should learn Italian really- our fault).

Plenty of parking for cars.

Puglia is generally a quiet, quaint area and a hire car is really a must for getting around as travelling from place to place would be tricky to negotiate without one. We loved the relaxing lazy days; not be an area if you like a very busy, sociable holiday with lots of things / entertainment for kids.

We booked for two nights and we we drove up I had misgivings as the outside looked nothing like the pix.
But there is a lot very right about this hotel:
(1) Excellent location right on the cusp of the famous Trulli heritage houses. In fact, closer than where the tour buses bring day trippers! Convenient parking right in front of the hotel
(2) room was a good size, if a tad stark - ours looked out over the pool. Extra pillows in the closet. Bathroom also a decent size and a good shower. Air con only works when windows are closed - black out blinds were nice as it got light by 5:30 in June! Safe in room also good.
(3) The pool!!! This hotel is used by tour operators (a Japanese group one day, an English group another day when we were there) who seem to be rushed by the tour people in and out so no one was ever in the pool and it was wonderful on a hot day! Big enough for laps, perfect temp, lots of loungers. Do yourself a favor if you're coming in warm weather -make sure your pick has a good pool like this one!
(4) breakfast was the usual hotel buffet with cheeses, meats, baked goods, fruit, boiled eggs, yogurt... But you can sit inside or on the terrace which was very nice. (tour operators hussled tour groups out by about 8 so we had a quiet breakfast after that!)
(5) staff is friendly and helpful!
Seriously don't worry about the tour groups, they only seemed around for their early breakfast!
Great value for the town - I'd definitely stay here again!
