Our tour guide suggested stopping to see the trulli, and we went along. We were so glad we did! I never imagined such a beautiful, interesting, little town as Alberobello, with cone-shaped houses that looked straight out of Munchkinland! The winding streets, the little shops... I could not get enough of this little town! Truly it is a must-see stop... More

The Trulli are memorable - a Hobbit village. Alberobello was probably more atmospheric before the Trulli were so completely whitewashed and restored to within an inch of their lives, but they are still worth visiting nonetheless More

What a wonderful town to visit. We stayed in a Trullo for 2 nights and wished for more time in this lovely place. My suggestion is to take walk early in the morning and enjoy the quietness of Alberobello. I walked alone and felt completely safe. Enjoy a meal at Casa Nova, and breakfast or dinner at LoCantina. Both very... More

Had a nice lunch in Alberobello and enjoyed wandering around the town for an hour or so, but this is not a pristine cultural site - much has been done to rebuild everything in the Trulli image and the result is bit like Disneyland. Nice facade but not much heart. More

Alberobello's Trulli are definitely worth a visit but be aware of the tourist trap its become. Almost every trullo up the main streets in the Rione Monte district is selling trulli souvenirs which detracts greatly from the quaintness and history of the area. We took some online advice and spent little time in this area and instead wandered the more... More

As a native of the area I remember when the town was just a very charming place to visit. Upon returning after quite a few years with a group of friends who had never been there I was very disappointed and even angry to see how almost every "trullo" has been made into a shop selling the same "cheap" items...

Having seen many Trulli houses on way to this town, we were flabbergasted by the great number of Trulli houses and even a church in Alberobello. Although we had a great time seeing all the little houses in the small alleyways, the weather was not good. We had a terrific downpour and the streets were like cascades. Nevertheless this town...

More people should learn about this unique village. But more might spoil it, too. A great find for our trip. More
