From the moment we entered Trullo Antonio, we knew this would be the highlight of our trip. Donato greeted us warmly and shared indispensable tips for a memorable visit - we followed all his restaurant recommendations and ate like royalty. Donato and Maria Grazie are fantastic ambassadors for Alberobello, sharing fascinating insights about Puglia, its local legends, thousand-year-old olive orchards, and ingenious stone architecture. The trulli (beehive houses) of Alberobello are UNESCO World Heritage wonders of hand-built stone architecture, and staying inside the thoughtfully designed Trullo Antonio is the perfect way to appreciate their cozy charm without missing any modern conveniences - including a hottub in the courtyard. Picturesque nearby Locorotondo is a worthwhile afternoon outing for strolling, shopping & photography, and the alimentari around the corner from Trullo Antonio offers picnic supplies and lavish tastings of local DOP cheeses, rustic Pugliese bread & cured meats. We stayed three nights, but should have stayed a week - next time we'll plan better! Grazie mille!
