We really enjoyed our experience here in the "Hobbit House" While small it was generally well appointed, except for the self-catering being restrictive. The service was super friendly, the breakfast was good the hosts generous with their offerings and range of food. Good access to Alberobello and Matera for day visits.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt in guter Lage zu Alberobello

Einfach traumhaft so ein Trullo und ein besonders schönes Erlebnis. Das Frühstück wurde vom sehr zuvorkommenden und netten Gastgeber direkt an das Trullo gebracht, da wegen der besonderen Umstände (Corona) noch etwas Vorsicht herrschte. Das Frühstück am Trullo in der herrlichen Anlage mit blühenden Kirschbäumen war nicht zu toppen. Schade, dass wir nur zwei Nächte hier waren.Irgendwann, ab Mitte Mai, wenn die Kirschen reif sind, kehren wir bestimmt mal wieder zurück. Alberobello, viele Trulli und das Meer (Monopoli - sehr nett) sind in guter erreichbarer Nähe.

Posto incantevole. Struttura immersa nella campagna, semplice ed originale, serenità e aria pura, colazione favolosa a base di prodotti locali genuini e gustosissimi! Posizione strategica per raggiungere tante rinomate località turistiche. I gestori gentili e attenti ai bisogni e alle richieste degli ospiti. Noi siamo stati benissimo e speriamo di tornarci … sconsigliato per chi non ama la natura e la campagna.
