Alberobello, Italy

ALBEROBELLO IS A LOVELY TOWN WITHIN EASY DRIVING DISTANCE OF ALL MAJOR CITIES AND SITES/SIGHTS IN PUGLIA. THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE OF THE TRULLI CAPTIVATES , WHETHER IN TOWN OR IN THE COUNTRY. WE STAYED IN A 'TRIPLE TRULLI-THREE CONICAL BUILDINGS, INCLUDING ONE SIAMESE (TWO CONES MADE INTO ONE LARGE ROOM) RIGHT IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN , BOOKING WITH TRULLIHOLIDAY, AN ORGANIZATION THAT COULDN'T DO ENOUGH FOR US. WE WERE FASCINATED BY THE BUILIDNG AND BY THE FACT THAT WE WERE LIVING IN A REAL NEGHBOURHOOD. PEOPLE MAINLY SPEAK ITALIAN THERE, BUT THEY SURE ARE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL, TRYING TO MAKE THEMSELVES UNDERSTOOD AND TRYNG TO UNDERSTAND US.THERE ARE SO MANY TYPES OF FOOD AND DRINK UNIQUE TO THE AREA, THAT IT IS A GASTROMICAL PARADISE. TRY THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PASTRIES, TARALLES, FRESH, HOMEMADE PASTAS AND LOCAL WINES. WOW, DID WE FEAST! BEWARE, EVERYTHING CLOSES BETWEEN 2-5 OR 1-4 PM IN THE AREA. THE HANDMADE LINENS AND POTTERY ARE LOVELY, TOO.
