Excellent stay in a gorgeous trullo!!!
We stayed at Trullo Stella for 1 week at the end of July into August. We wanted to experience Alberobello and use it as a base to explore other towns in Puglia.
The trullo is immaculate, tastefully decorated and was spacious for us as a family of four. My daughter stayed in the cone, my son in the small room off the living room, my wife and I in the other first floor bedroom. The bedrooms are not large, but more than adequate. The common spaces (living room, kitchen/dining space) are large and comfortable. In addition to the decorations, the lighting is layered and frankly, very cool......illuminating the stone arches and niches of the common space. There is an espresso machine that we used every morning and the kids made themselves dinner one night so my wife and I could go on a date.
The location, in my opinion, is perfect. Alberobello is not that big, and the trulli is only a five minute walk to the “central” trulli areas of Rione Monti and Rione Aia Piccola. It was nice to be away from the busiest tourist area yet be so close. We had a car and getting in and out of Alberobello from the trullo was easy. We could also park in front of the trullo.
Michele is the most excellent host. He speaks good English, was a very good communicator throughout the entire process (both before our arrival and during our stay) and was present to address any issues. I would recommend this trullo and Michele as a to anyone looking to stay a week in northern Puglia and planning a similar itinerary.
