History and Significance
The trulli of Alberobello date back to the 15th and 16th centuries, originally built without mortar as temporary dwellings to avoid feudal taxes. Over time, their distinctive shape and construction techniques became an enduring symbol of Puglia's rural heritage. Romantic Trulli preserves this legacy by converting original trulli into elegant suites that still reflect their centuries-old craftsmanship.
Many of the trulli here belonged to local families who once worked the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. The restoration process focused on preserving their authenticity - from the limestone walls to the domed ceilings - while subtly integrating modern comforts like underfloor heating, luxury bathrooms, and contemporary furnishings.
Things to See and Do
A stay at Romantic Trulli puts you within walking distance of Alberobello's most iconic attractions. Step outside and you'll find yourself amid the picturesque lanes of Rione Monti, one of the top attractions in Alberobello, where hundreds of trulli cluster together in postcard-perfect harmony. Wander to nearby landmarks like the Trullo Sovrano, the Church of Saint Anthony, or the Belvedere Santa Lucia for panoramic views of the town's skyline.
Many of the trulli suites feature private patios or terraces where you can enjoy breakfast beneath the Apulian sun or a glass of wine under the stars. For those seeking extra indulgence, some units even include jacuzzis or panoramic balconies - ideal for watching the trulli roofs glow at sunset. Romantic Trulli is also a great place to visit on a walking tour of Alberobello, offering a lived-in glimpse into the life and architecture that make the town so magical.
