Guest Reviews

  • The host accommodated the check-in time even though we needed to change last minute due to transport strike. Very flexible, helpful and easy communication with the host. Also the house was gorgeous! - great trullo atmosphere, nicely decorated, woody nice smell, impeccable clean, air conditioning working well. The location was also good, not so far from center(10-15mins by walk)but could feel countryside as well. I would like to come back again!!!

  • Super stylish and beautiful presented Trullo located within walking distance of the centre of Alberobello. Elena is a perfect host who gives lots of great recommendations in the area. Would definitely come back!

  • Staying in Elena’s cummersa may have been the highlight of all of our stays in Italy. The home is well curated and decorated but still super comfortable with thoughtful touches and modern amenities. The location is beautiful and only a 15 min walk into the little town of trullis, and a quick drive to neighboring towns and the seaside. Elena was the most gracious host, providing detailed instructions for easy check-in, local recommendations for lunch and very quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend and would definitely come back for longer!

  • Elena’s space was the perfect combination of historical architecture and modern interiors. All of the spaces were bright, pristine and welcoming and we especially loved how private the outdoor space felt. We walked a few times to Alberobello from the property which was a short 10-minutes along beautiful olive groves and wild flowers. The building is in a very quiet neighborhood but is completely surrounded by olive trees so it feels like your own little part of Puglia. The property is perfectly located to visit the highlights in the area like Locorontondo, Monopoli, Polignano a Mare and the beaches. Our stay was perfect in every way.

  • Awesome experience being in a structure that most of the world never heard about unique to Puglia

  • We stayed here for four nights / five days and based ourselves at this home as we drove around Puglia. Elena’s Trulli house was so wonderful and warm. She spent a great deal of time making it just so - welcoming and beautiful. The entire space is calmness personified. So if you want a relaxing place to stay that is still easy to get to the main town centre from, this is your place. It was delightful to sleep under the trullo in what is a very modern home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her home - do yourself a favour and stay here. Elena was wonderful and so engaging and responsive - thank you for such a lovely stay, Elena! :)

  • My stay at Elena's Airbnb in Alberobello was truly enchanting! Her beautifully decorated and modern accommodation, while maintaining the authentic charm of the area, transported me to a unique world. Every corner of the house was an invitation to explore and be amazed. I felt at home from the very beginning, and thanks to Elena's warm and insightful advice, I was able to explore the region like a true local. Her kindness and thoughtfulness made my stay even more memorable. I left with a heavy heart, wishing that this experience would never end. A huge thank you to Elena for making my trip an unforgettable journey!

In Italy it’s common to give 'air' kisses on both cheeks (starting with your left) when greeting those you know well.

This is called the 'il bacetto'.
