We recently spent three nights at Vito’s trullo We were initially attracted to Vito’s property because it was a genuine family trullo rather than one that had been acquired for business purposes only. On the wall hang pictures of Vito’s grandmother, Mother, Aunties and Vito as a boy. On arrival, Vito explained some aspects of the life his grandmother lived and expressed his pleasure that his family home now had a purpose again. It is a blessing to be able to contemplate and experience in a small way the simplicity and challenges experienced by previous generations and staying in a Trullo when you visit Alberobello gives you this opportunity.
However, we also enjoyed the conveniences of a modern bathroom with plenty of hot water, a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and easy access to the Trullo districts, shops, town laundry facilities and restaurants. Vito is a generous host, collecting us from the train station, arranging a transfer to our next destination and providing supplies of essential food and snacks. Vito also offered suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants, which were accurate and very helpful. Vito is one of the best hosts that we have had the pleasure of meeting.
We would strongly recommend Vito’s family trullo and Alberobello. The restaurant Casa Nova was especially good and the driver Sandro is a friendly, reliable and safe driver if you need a transfer.
