I found a white fairytale town in southern Italy. On this trip to the Puglia region, the most delightful stop was the Trulli of Alberobello.

For my trip to Puglia, Alberobello was one of my non-negotiable stops. Running a guesthouse back in Doha has made me particularly interested in how traditional heritage houses are preserved and managed. These 'Trulli'—the whitewashed dry-stone huts with conical roofs—date back to the 16th century, originally built by refugees who needed structures that could be quickly dismantled to evade royal taxes. It’s fascinating history.

I spent a little over four hours exploring the town on foot. My fitness tracker logged exactly 11,420 steps, mostly on steep, uneven cobblestones. If you plan to visit, do not wear sandals; my ankles were quite tired by the end of the day.

Since I prefer focusing on a few key historical sites rather than rushing through everything, I kept my itinerary to three main spots:

1. Trullo Sovrano: This is the only double-story Trullo in the town. The entry ticket was quite cheap, just €2.50. I spent about 45 minutes inside examining the historical household items, the old kitchen setup, and the master bedroom. It was very interesting to see how they maximized such tight, windowless spaces.
2. Rione Monti: This is the main historical quarter on the slope, packed with over a thousand Trulli. It’s highly scenic, but my minor complaint is how commercialized it has become. Almost every stone hut has been turned into a souvenir shop selling the same mass-produced magnets and linen bags.
3. Basilica of Cosmas and Damian: A grand 17th-century neoclassical church. It’s a striking contrast to the round, rustic stone huts nearby. Entrance was free, and it was a quiet, cool refuge to sit for fifteen minutes away from the midday heat.

Before catching my bus back, I stopped at a small cafe near Piazza del Popolo. I paid €4.50 for a double espresso and a local pasticciotto pastry, which was excellent. If you want to experience the quiet charm of the stone alleys without the heavy crowds, I highly recommend arriving no later than 9:00 AM.
