Grand Hotel Olimpo, Alberobello

This simple hotel is an ideal base from which to explore the UNESCO-listed town of Alberobello on foot.
If you’re planning on spending some time exploring the world-renowned Trulli houses in charming Alberobello as part of a self-drive holiday in Puglia then this modern hotel is a good-value base. Stroll into the historic heart of Alberobello and discover the unique buildings with conical roofs that house shops, restaurants, homes, a church and a museum. A guided tour of Alberobello is a great way to learn about the history and construction of these distinctive UNESCO-listed buildings. And there is lots to see and do in this charming region, from wine tasting and olive oil making experiences to bike tours and exploration of the beautiful nearby Trulli village of Locorotondo, which is just ten minutes away. It’s also just half an hour from the coast so you’re within easy reach of seaside towns such as Savelletri and Monopoli.

Prepare for a day of local exploration by filling up at the breakfast buffet and choose from a range of Pugliese, Mediterranean and international dishes for dinner at Eden which also offers a selection of local wines that are housed in a rock-walled cellar. There are also a number of local restaurants just a short stroll away. During balmy summer evenings, head to the roof terrace to enjoy cocktails or coffee.

The modern and cosy Double Classic Rooms overlook the street or an olive grove and feature free Wi-Fi.
