Description:
With its distinctive, conical trulli homes and fantastical charm, enchanting Alberobello is something straight out of an Italian fairytale. Visit the 18th-century Trullo Sovrano, then join an Apulian cooking class followed by a celebratory lunch to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberobello is famous for its 1,500 cylindrical white-washed homes with cone-shaped roofs known as trulli. These unique dwellings lend the village an air of adorable, elven allure, and are a must-see for visitors to Puglia. Wander the narrow streets of the historic city center, listening as your guide shares various theories about the origins and constructions of these remarkable residences.
Step inside the stately Trullo Sovrano—build in the 18th century, the only 2-story trullo in town looks quite grand in comparison to its more diminutive neighbors. Check out the original furnishings as you walk through the rounded rooms and admire the delightful architecture from the inside.
Tie on your apron for the next part of your Apulian immersion as a local chef shares the flavors, savors, and secrets of this agricultural region's delicious country cuisine. Learn to craft Apulian specialties like orecchiette, a small ear-shaped pasta perfect for cupping vibrant sauces, then take a seat to indulge in your creations. Don't forget to take your cookbook with you when you go—preparing the recipes will transport your back to Alberobello long after you've returned home.
