Hotel Colle del Sole is a family-run four-star hotel on Via Indipendenza, about 500 metres from Alberobello’s UNESCO-listed trulli districts of Rione Monti and Aia Piccola. The De Carlo family opened it in August 1982, and it remains a practical, unpretentious base for travellers who want easy access to the trulli without sleeping among the day-tripper crowds (Hotel Colle del Sole).
The on-site restaurant, Sciarabà, offers breakfast and dinner. Its kitchen draws on Apulian traditions rather than Tuscan ones, so expect regional staples such as orecchiette and local olive oil, paired with Puglia wines like Primitivo and Negroamaro. Guests also get a free buffet breakfast, an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a terrace, a garden, free Wi-Fi and on-site car rental (Expedia). On Tripadvisor, the hotel holds a 4-of-5 rating from 404 reviews and ranks #5 of 21 hotels in Alberobello (Tripadvisor).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Walk to Rione Monti early in the morning or after 6 p.m. to avoid the midday tour groups. July and August bring peak prices and heat, while May, June and September offer calmer streets and comfortable weather by the pool. Book dinner at Sciarabà ahead in high season. The Basilica of Santi Medici Cosma e Damiano is a short walk away. Alberobello’s station on the Ferrovie del Sud Est line connects the town with Bari.
