Alberobello

Puglia

Alberobello is a charming, picturesque town, less than an hour's drive from Bari.

It is most notable for its iconic and unique buildings called trulli. These conical roofed buildings are used for housing and storage. They give the town an otherworldly air and add to your feeling of getting away from it all.

The town itself is quite small, but the local shopkeepers and restaurants create a pleasant atmosphere as you take your daily stroll, in no hurry at all. The Rione Monti is the 'tourist' area of the town. But don't let that put you off. The streets are very pretty indeed, and the shops and restaurants are welcoming but not in a pushy way.
