A Real Trullo for Real People
Monte Olimpo 5 is a heritage home believed to date back to the 17th century, part of the historic expansion of Alberobello. Set on a hillside in the semi-rural district of Monte Olimpo, the house takes its name from archaeological findings that link the area to ancient Olympia, suggesting early Mediterranean trade routes and a long history of cultural exchange. Restored in 2018 and reimagined as a small boutique stay, it offers a quieter way to experience Alberobello—away from the crowds, yet deeply connected to the land. Just one kilometre from the UNESCO trulli zone, it feels private and peaceful while remaining easy to reach. The town itself has a rare, year-round atmosphere: calm, biodiverse, and quietly vibrant, shaped as much by nature as by tradition. Its name comes from Silva Arboris Belli, meaning “a place where one can lose themselves in nature.”
A base to Wander the Wonders of the Valle d’Itria
From Monte Olimpo 5, guests can easily explore the Valle d’Itria: the white historic streets of Locorotondo and Ostuni, the baroque elegance of Martina Franca, and charming towns such as Cisternino and Ceglie Messapica. The Adriatic coast, from Polignano a Mare to Monopoli, is also within easy reach. A week allows time to fully enjoy the richness of the region, while a three-night stay suits those travelling further south or attending local events. Monte Olimpo 5 is ideal for couples or families seeking a private stay rooted in history, quiet beauty, and a more meaningful way of travelling.
A Curated Stay for those who value Style and Substance
The house has a strong sense of identity, and this is its true luxury. At a time when parts of Puglia risk losing authenticity, Monte Olimpo 5 embraces simplicity, care, and respect for its history. Comfort here is not about excess, but about balance, atmosphere, and thoughtful details. It is a place designed for travellers rather than tourists, created for those who value both style and substance.
We are in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, where you can find groves of centuries-old olive trees, Trullo cones, enchanted landscapes surrounding historic towns and Cities of Art; a mashup of romanesque and baroque cathedrals and monuments and, cafes that stand placidly in the shade of noble palaces.
In just 20 minutes drive, through breathtaking countryside hills, you can reach the Adriatic coastline, with gems like Polignano, Monopoli, and Savelletri, where gourmet itineraries, art, and lifestyle meet clear blue waters.
