Where to stay in Alberobello

Rione Monti

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • dining

The Puglia regional tourism site describes Rione Monti as the more commercial and tourist-oriented of Alberobello's two trulli districts, with shops and places to eat. Wikivoyage calls the trulli zone the main tourist area. It is the best base if you want the trulli on your doorstep and plenty of choice for meals.

  • couples

According to the Puglia tourism site, Aia Piccola contains around 400 trulli and is the second of the two main neighbourhoods. It is the area to choose if you want trulli streets with a little less commercial activity than Rione Monti.

Getting around Alberobello

By rail, Wikivoyage describes Ferrovie Sud-Est trains from Bari Centrale, with 15 daily connections and a journey of about 1 hr 30 min. Wikivoyage also says Alberobello is under one hour's drive from either Bari or Brindisi airports. Wikipedia says Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport is about 8 km north-west of Bari city centre and is connected to Bari Centrale by the metropolitan rail service, and that Aeroporti di Puglia manages it.

In town, Wikivoyage says everything is within reach on foot. For the surrounding countryside, it lists travel times from Alberobello of 10 minutes to Locorotondo, 20 to Martina Franca, 40 to Ostuni, 45 to Taranto and 1 hour to Bari. Check train and road options for your dates.

Living in Alberobello for longer

Alberobello is small, so longer stays are about rhythm rather than variety: shopping and routine errands happen in the modern town around the trulli districts, and day trips fill the rest of the week. Wikivoyage lists Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Ostuni and Taranto within an hour, which gives a month-long stay plenty of variety.

The Puglia tourism site describes Rione Monti as the commercial district and Aia Piccola as the quieter trulli district, so choose according to how much activity you want around you. A car is useful for visiting the surrounding towns, while the Bari line makes it possible to reach Bari by rail.

When to visit Alberobello

Wikipedia describes Apulia as having a Mediterranean climate and as among the hottest and driest regions of Italy in summer, with temperatures sometimes exceeding 40 °C in Lecce and Foggia. Wikivoyage mentions summer festivals with folk, music, dance and theatre performances, mostly free and held in the open air.

The Puglia tourism site says the town fills with lights and colour during the Christmas season, which gives winter visits a different atmosphere. Dates vary from year to year, so check the local programme before you book.

Wikivoyage says the town has roughly 1,500 trulli, and Wikipedia says they have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. Alberobello is in Italy, roughly an hour from Bari, and it works as a base for the wider region, including Lecce and Matera further afield.
