It can be challenging to reach Alberobello without a car, we used a combination of a Flix bus to Bari and a train to Alberobello- it was well worth it! Giovanna went above the and beyond by picking us up at the train station and taking us back there on the day we returned. She welcomed us with a cold bottle of local wine and both savory and sweet local baked goods. As she warned us, this is not a Trullo building but is surrounded by them. The apartment is in a stone building, and is charmingly updated and clean. I felt charmed each time I looked out the windows or opened the door, Alberobello is magical. There was a heatwave during our August visit, but we enjoyed our daily walk around town to get local cheese, wine, fruit, vegetables, and fresh bread to make our meals. We spent one day walking in the Bosca Selva, and another tasting wine at Albera. The birds another post wrote about turned out to be children blowing wooden whistles sold throughout town, a sweet sound that made us chuckle each time we heard them. The restaurant in the basement of the building gave us a nice taste of local food. I highly recommend both Giovanna's place and this town.
