Accommodation in Alberobello falls into three categories: trulli converted into guesthouses and B&Bs within the UNESCO zones, standard hotels in the modern town, and restored masserie (farmhouses) in the surrounding countryside. Each offers a fundamentally different experience, and the choice shapes your entire visit. Here is where to stay in Alberobello, broken down by area and budget.
Where to Stay in Alberobello: In a Trullo (Rione Monti and Aia Piccola)
Staying in a converted trullo is the defining Alberobello experience. These limestone dwellings have thick walls that stay naturally cool in summer, though many now include air conditioning for peak July and August heat. Winter stays require checking the heating situation: some trulli rely on wood-burning fireplaces or electric radiators that struggle below 5°C (41°F). Ceilings are low (trulli were built without upper floors, except the Trullo Sovrano), and windows tend to be small. Expect unique architectural charm rather than spacious, light-filled rooms. Prices range from EUR 70 per night for a basic trullo B&B to EUR 350 for a luxury suite with a private terrace and hot tub. Book at least 3 months ahead for May through October; 6 months ahead for July and August.

Where to Stay in Alberobello: Modern Town (Centro)
Staying in the modern town means standard hotel rooms within a 5-10 minute walk of the trulli. These hotels offer reliable amenities (elevators, parking, consistent heating and cooling) at lower prices than trullo conversions. They lack atmosphere but are practical for travellers with a car, families with young children, or anyone prioritising comfort and convenience over unique architecture. The modern town also has the best restaurant density for dinner, since most trulli-district eateries cater to the day-tripper lunch crowd.
Suggested Hotels in the Modern Town
Hotel Astoria
A family-run 3-star hotel on Viale Bari offering clean, spacious rooms with balconies, free parking, and a generous breakfast buffet with local Apulian pastries. Best for families and road-trippers who value easy parking and a short walk to both trulli districts. Check rates and availability
Grand Hotel Olimpo
The largest hotel in Alberobello, set in a modern building surrounded by olive groves at the edge of town. Features a swimming pool, restaurant, and conference facilities. Best for tour groups and travellers who want resort-style amenities a 10-minute walk from the trulli. Check rates and availability
B&B Dimora Sumerano
A small, well-reviewed B&B in the modern town offering rooms from EUR 60 per night with air conditioning, free WiFi, and a rooftop terrace with views over the trulli. Best for budget-conscious couples who want a central location with breakfast included. Check rates and availability
Where to Stay in Alberobello: Countryside Masserie
For the most memorable stay, book a room at a restored masseria within a 5km radius of Alberobello. These fortified farmhouses, many dating to the 16th-18th centuries, have been converted into boutique hotels with swimming pools, olive groves, and restaurants serving farm-to-table Apulian cuisine. You will need a car to stay here; taxis from the countryside into town cost EUR 15-20 each way. The trade-off is waking up to views of the Itria Valley, eating breakfast under olive trees, and returning after a day of sightseeing to a pool rather than a crowded lane. Masseria prices start at EUR 120 per night for a standard room and reach EUR 400 for suites with private terraces.
