Zumre: Everything was perfect. Especially breakfast!! I highly recommend that book your accommodation with breakfast. Room was also clean. housekeepers cleaned the room everyday.

Via G. Petroni, 15
From £ 77
Eduardo J. Ramos: Good facilities, friendly staff, ample car park, large bedrooms. It's basically a quality road hotel, next to a petrol station (where entrance is). Privileged location facing the coast but since that's the same side of the busy road it could get noisy.
S.S. 16 km 816 Direzione Brindisi
From £ 49
Guest User: This hotel is perfectly located for those planning to explore the region by train. It's also fine if you're driving, but parking costs €32 per day. It's clean, tidy, and very modern. Everything feels new and high-quality. Breakfast is good; nothing fancy, but it has everything you need. Regarding the front desk, the service depends on who's on shift. When I checked in, the young man was an absolute sweetheart! Super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The woman, however, was quite negative about my English mistakes, which I don't think is necessary. I told her I was cold in my room, and she ignored it. When checking out, I mentioned I had a package in the freezer and another in the fridge. She brought just one from the freezer. I clarified that there was also one in the fridge, and then she brought the second. Dear employee, a little more warmth and hospitality would be appreciated. If working with different people isn't your thing, maybe consider another profession? Nonetheless, the hotel impressed me. I haven't seen such a modern hotel in Italy for a very long time, and the price was fair. The beds are super comfortable! The mattresses and pillows are amazing. One suggestion: make it possible to set the AC temperature a little higher for heating, and address the issue where the AC turns off as soon as you remove the key. This means that when you return in cold weather, the room takes a very long time to warm up. Also, because of this, slippers in the room would be great, as the floor gets icy cold. Despite these minor issues, I would happily return. This hotel is one of the best in Bari!
Piazza Aldo Moro, 4

Guest User: Phenomenal hotel!! The staff are so lovely, caring and competent. We had an issue trying to book the one and only ferry Bari to Dubrovnik which turned out to be an impossible feat due to demand but the time and energy the reception staff invested in problem solving was astounding. Rosanna even went so far as to call all her travel agency friends … she ensured we could keep our room for another two nights. Her male colleague was just as invested in providing us with multiple options. The hotel is stylish, immaculate and cleverly laid out. Very easy private parking for only €10 per day. The gym met all my needs while the pool is another massive plus in this great laid back suburb of Bari. The hotel is a €10 cab fare from the Old Town. Free non alcoholic beverages in our room’s mini bar and in the foyer, Free coffee in Italy!!! Never heard of it!! The included in room rate breakfast is a large diverse buffet offering a lot of healthy options.

Hidden in the valleys of the Puglia region of Italy is a fairytale town listed as a World Heritage Site—Alberobello. Its most iconic landscape is rows of white Trulli stone houses, with gray conical roofs covering the hillside like mushrooms. From a distance, it looks clean, gentle, and carries a touch of surreal Southern Italian romance. This town isn't a staged, trendy backdrop, but a real space where local residents have lived for generations. White walls, gray stone roofs, small blue doors, climbing vines, and cobblestone alleys are woven together. Every few steps, it feels like walking into a Southern Italian postcard. 📸 Must-visit highlights 1. Trulli stone houses | World Heritage Site Trulli are the most unique architectural feature in Alberobello. They are built with dry-stacked stones without mortar, and the gray conical roofs are layered, often featuring ancient symbols. Walking into the cluster of stone houses, the white walls and gray roofs create a contrast that is both strong and gentle. Every photo you take feels like a fairytale. 2. Belvedere Terrace | Overlooking the mushroom town To see the most classic panoramic view of the town, you must go to the Belvedere Terrace. From here, you can overlook the clusters of Trulli houses, with white roofs spreading along the hillside and the gentle valleys of Puglia in the distance. At sunset, the gray stone roofs are dyed gold by the setting sun, creating an especially gentle scene. 3. Church of Saint Anthony | Fairytale landmark The Church of Saint Anthony is a very striking landmark in the town, featuring a unique Trulli conical roof found nowhere else in the world. The white church paired with the gray conical roof has a cute and unique design, making it perfect for travel photos. 4. Rione Monti alleys | A labyrinthine white town Rione Monti is the area with the most tourists and the highest concentration of small shops, cafes, and craft stores. The alleys wind and turn, with white stone walls, blue doors and windows, green vines, and gray roofs appearing constantly, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll and taking photos. 5. Rione Aia Piccola | A quiet residential area If you want to avoid the crowds, you can go to Rione Aia Piccola. It retains a more authentic town life with fewer tourists and a slower pace, making it perfect for capturing quiet streets and the local way of life. 6. Trulli stone house stays | Live in a fairytale In Alberobello, one of the most special experiences is staying in a Trulli stone house. Thick walls, stone arches, conical roofs, small courtyards, and greenery make the entire trip full of Southern Italian charm. It is recommended to book in advance, and in summer, prioritize room types with air conditioning. 🗺️ Recommended one-day itinerary Park at the outer parking lot and walk into town → Church of Saint Anthony → Rione Monti alleys → Belvedere Terrace → Lunch at a local restaurant → Rione Aia Piccola residential area → Sunset viewpoint If you have enough time, you can stay overnight in a stone house. Between 7–9 AM and around sunset, there are the fewest tourists and the light is the softest, making it the best time for photos. 🍝 Must-try Puglia flavors · Orecchiette: A classic Puglia pasta, shaped like little ears, very recognizable. · Burrata: Firm on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside, it tastes great with tomatoes and olives. · Focaccia: The Puglia version of olive oil bread, very fragrant, suitable as a lunch or snack. · Primitivo red wine: A representative red wine of Puglia, full-bodied, suitable for pairing with pasta and meat. ✨ Travel tips · Best time for photos: 7–9 AM, around sunset. · Transportation advice: It is convenient to take a train or drive from Bari. For the old town, it is recommended to park in the outer parking lot and walk in. · Clothing advice: Light colors, linen, long skirts, or vintage accessories go very well with the white walls and gray roofs. · Notes: Do not climb on the roofs, and do not enter private stone houses without permission. Museums may have closing times, so please check the information for the day before you go. Alberobello is not big, but it is worth exploring slowly. It is not the kind of attraction for a quick visit, but a place suitable for staying, daydreaming, taking walks, and feeling the breathing rhythm of a Southern Italian town.
Matera is a World Heritage site in the Basilicata region of southern Italy and a filming location for "No Time to Die." The entire complex of cave dwellings is carved into limestone mountains. We recommend setting aside 1–2 days for a slow-paced visit. Most travelers arrive from Bari by bus or regional train. If driving, remember that the old town is a ZTL (restricted traffic zone) where outside vehicles are prohibited. Park your car in the lots on the outskirts of the old town and explore the city primarily on foot. 📍 Location: Basilicata region, Italy; Sassi di Matera cave dwellings, World Heritage site, 007 filming location ⏰ Hours: Streets and alleys are open all day for free. Cave dwellings, rock churches, and underground cisterns require separate tickets. Museums are open 9:30 AM–7:00 PM in summer and 9:30 AM–5:00 PM in winter. Check the official website for opening hours before you go. 🎫 Tickets: Streets and alleys in the old town are free. Cave dwellings, rock churches, and underground cisterns require separate tickets. Buying a combined ticket is more cost-effective. Discounts are available for students. 🚗 Transport: Most travelers arrive from Bari. The bus takes about 1 hr 15 mins, and the FAL regional train takes about 1.5–2 hours. Note that the FAL station is not the main Bari train station, so be careful not to go to the wrong one. If driving: The old town is a ZTL (restricted traffic zone) where outside vehicles are strictly prohibited and subject to heavy fines. Park in paid lots on the outskirts. Explore the city on foot, or take the Sassi bus to travel between the upper and lower town areas. ✅ One-day route without backtracking (3–4 hours, recommended) 1. Start: Piazza Vittorio Veneto. First, overlook the panoramic view of the Sassi cave dwellings from the plaza terrace. You can visit the Palombaro Lungo underground cistern along the way. 2. Walk down into Sasso Barisano (North Cave District) to visit the cave dwelling museum and see what life was like in the old cave homes. 3. Walk up to the Civita plateau to visit the Matera Cathedral and overlook the canyon. 4. Head down to Sasso Caveoso (South Cave District), where there are more primitive caves. Visit the Church of San Pietro Caveoso and the Santa Maria de Idris rock church. 5. Walk to the Pascoli viewpoint to enjoy a panoramic view of the canyon. If you have time, you can cross the suspension bridge to the Murgia Timone viewpoint on the other side (the best spot for panoramic photos; round-trip hike takes about 1.5–2 hours, moderate difficulty). 6. Return to the old town in the evening to see the sunset and night views of the caves. Two-day itinerary: Day 1: Explore the Sassi old town. Day 2: Visit the primitive cave churches in the suburbs and hike in Murgia Park. ⚠️ Important tips to avoid pitfalls 1. The old town is full of uneven stone steps and paved roads. Limestone is very slippery when wet, so be sure to wear non-slip, hard-soled shoes. We do not recommend bringing large suitcases, as you will likely have to carry your luggage up stairs to reach most cave hotels. 2. Do not drive into the ZTL restricted zone, or you will receive a heavy fine for your rental car. Accommodation: If you want to stay in a cave hotel, book in advance and confirm whether the room entrance requires climbing stairs. If you don't want to carry luggage, staying on the outskirts of the new town is more convenient. 3. Hiking to the Murgia Timone viewpoint: It is very hot in summer, so bring plenty of drinking water. The canyon trails are slippery after rain, so do not attempt to cross them. If you have average physical fitness, you can take a taxi to the park entrance instead of hiking the whole way. 4. There are many alleys in the old town, and mobile signal is poor in some areas, so download offline maps in advance. Do not enter private cave residences or closed caves without permission. 5. Popular cave restaurants on the street are overpriced. Confirm if the bread and snacks served at the table are charged, and pay attention to the "coperto" (service fee) to avoid hidden costs. You can venture deeper into residential areas to find local eateries and try Orecchiette pasta. 6. Matera is best enjoyed at a slow pace, so don't overpack your itinerary. Sunrise, sunset, and night views are the highlights. Most tour groups visit during the day, so the crowds thin out in the evening, offering a better experience.
Finally arrived at the legendary mushroom town. It feels like a fairy tale come to life—absolutely incredible! ✨✨ 🏡 First Impressions of the Town | Stepping into a Fairy Tale in Southern Italy Alberobello, Italy, is the famous "mushroom town." The hillsides are covered in Trulli—gray-and-white conical stone roofs stacked together, looking like a village plucked straight from a fairy tale book. Built entirely of stone without steel or concrete, this unique architecture is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Strolling through the streets, every photo you take is postcard-perfect. ✨ Must-Visit Highlights ✅ Trulli Complex: The town's main attraction. White cottages with gray pointed roofs are layered across the hillside. Many have been converted into museums and craft shops, where you can go inside to see the unique construction techniques. ✅ Panoramic Viewpoint: The observation deck at the top of the town is the best spot to photograph the entire mushroom village. The sea of conical roofs stretching out is visually stunning. ✅ Colorful Craft Streets: The main street is hung with colorful handmade woven decorations. Along the street, you'll find straw hat shops, pottery stores, and handmade jewelry boutiques. It's full of Southern Italian charm and perfect for atmospheric photos. ✅ Church of Saint Anthony: A unique church within the Trulli complex, blending traditional Trulli architecture with a quiet, rustic feel. ✅ Unique Trulli Stays: You can stay inside a mushroom-shaped stone house to experience unique accommodation and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the town at night. 🚗 Transportation Guide 📍 Location: Alberobello, Italy (City of Trulli) ✈️ International Flights: Fly into Bari Airport, Italy, then head to the town. 🚞 Train: Take a train from Bari to Alberobello. There are frequent departures, and the town is within walking distance from the station. 🚗 Driving: It's about a 1-hour drive from downtown Bari. There are parking lots on the outskirts of the town. Vehicles are not allowed in the historic core, so you'll need to explore on foot. 📅 Recommended Itinerary One-day trip: Arrive in Alberobello > Head to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the mushroom town > Stroll down the main street to browse craft shops and take photos of the colorful woven decorations > Visit a Trulli museum to learn about the architectural history > Enjoy Southern Italian cuisine at a local restaurant, take a leisurely walk through the alleys for photos, and head back in the evening. Two-day trip: Add a stay in a Trulli guesthouse to take photos of the town in the early morning when it's empty, and soak in the quiet, fairy-tale atmosphere. 📌 Travel Tips 1. The town gets crowded during the day. If you want to take photos without crowds, try to wake up early. The midday sun is strong, so evening is better for photography when the light is softer. 2. Most Trulli interiors are small. Please do not enter private residences. You will need to purchase separate tickets to enter museums and specific Trulli exhibits. 3. Summers in Southern Italy are hot, so be sure to use sun protection and bring a hat and drinking water. There are many steps in the town, so wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. 4. You can compare prices for street handicrafts. Keep an eye on price tags, as some small shops are open to bargaining. 5. The historic town is a pedestrian zone where vehicles cannot enter. It is recommended to store large luggage. 🍝 Food Recommendations Specialties of the Puglia region: Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, mozzarella cheese, grilled vegetables, local wine, and sweet almond desserts.
