Tipico Resort

We rented a Trulli that supposedly has an allowable occupancy of up to 5 guests. We were only 4. After the first 2 showered, there was no hot water left. We brought up that issue to the receptionist and she rudely explained that there was a sign inside the bathroom that stated that the boiler was small. There was no mention of the insufficient hot water supply neither at reservation nor at the check-in. We were led to find out ourselves. Also worth mentioning that the bad experience started at check-in with a receptionist who couldn't communicate in basic english and had a strangely rude way of explaining where we were supposed to park our car. She yelled at us that she had a long day and had to listen to people complaining. I told her that's her job and not my problem. All in all, we shortened our stay to only that night and found a more welcoming and comfortable place for the rest of our stay

The room was nice but despite asking for a quiet Trulli, we were on a popular road where load tour groups walked past from 8:30am to 6:30 pm with tour guides (Italian and German) using microphones right outside the trulli. In addition, the music from the square where musicians were using load speakers and singing naff songs badly, was very annoying. I would advise staying in a quiet trullie on the edge of the area or outside of Albarello. You can easily walk around Albarello in one day. After being in Puglia for two weeks, we can honestly say that the breakfast was the worst so far. It was served in a pizzeria, where there was a limited range of food options, food was served on paper plates, we had plastic cups for drinks and I had to have muesli out of a tiny plastic cup for ice cream. No water was put out unless you asked for it. The young male receptionist was sour, unhelpful and grumpy.

First, the Trulli. In my opinion highly overrated experience. They look very nice from the outside, but nothing special inside. However, just as the tour books say, the town of Alberobello is filled with people...worse than Main Street Disney World, that if you want to see it better, it is a good idea to stay there as it is much more than the Trulli. But you can stay there at any other hotel, nicer hotel that pretend to be a Trullo. Now, the Tipico. The staff is super friendly and very professional. We had an issue with the AC and it was fixed immediately (probably change of season). The amenities are ok, but you have a full kitchen and utensils. The only thing I would say is that the door in the bathroom has a frosted glass that does not cover much. And depending which Trullo you get, be prepared to walk uphill with your luggage. I guess you can drive and park closer and then move your car. But we arrive at a time that if we moved our car from the main parking lot to town (where we can pay online), we would lose the spot. By the way, they have breakast which is ok near by. Anyway, if you want to stay in a Trullo, this is a good value and I would recommend it.

It was a genuine trull! Once I switched off the refrigerator, the room was hushed. So lovely that I opted to postpone sightseeing until after the check-out. I enjoyed being a homebody in the historical trull. There was even a kitchen.

Thanks, to Tipico Resort, we had an amazing honeymoon experience in Alberobello! We were surprised by a free upgrade to one of their suites with a rooftop terrace overlooking the Trulli villages - absolutely stunning! We also got a free breakfast and a great explanation of the top places to visit and most romantic restaurants! We can definitely recommend to stay there. It's a must to sleep in a Trullo when you're in Alberobello ;)

Posizione centrale , trullo bellissimo , servizio PESSIMO, di 4 giorni avevamo chiesto di pulire la stanza e cambiare asciugamani solo una volta e non è stato fatto nemmeno quello!!! Per fortuna il proprietario al nostro rientro la sera ci ha portato almeno degli asciugamani puliti , con giustificazioni arrampicate sugli specchi..... Ci hanno omaggiato il parcheggio per scusarsi dell'accaduto!
