Trullidea Resort - Straw Trullo

The "Paglia" Trullo is located in the heart of the "Rione Monti" center of Alberobello. Trullo with walkable loft, which can become a place for reading and meditation. It is completed by the sleeping area and a small alcove. This unit can accommodate one to three people and is equipped with a double bed and a sofa bed in a ground floor alcove. My apartment is suitable for couples, solo adventurers, families (with children) and furry friends (pets). The space Trulli are examples of spontaneous architecture handed down by farmers over the centuries. These are extraordinarily simple structures, made completely dry, without the use of mortar, which end with a conical roof covered with chiancarelle, wide and narrow stones arranged like the tiles of a roof in concentric rings that decrease towards a hole at the top, closed by a circular monolith on which the pinnacle rises with curious and mysterious shapes. On the chiancarelle you can see, at the entrance door, various designs painted in lime. These are mainly Christian symbols (radiant host, pierced heart of Mary, etc.) except for some that are pagan, probably linked to magical-religious customs that can be linked to influences of Greek culture and even Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian ones. The farmer reproduced them on his home to have divine protection against all evil. On the top of the trullo are the "cucurnini", or multiform stone pinnacles that have a purely aesthetic function but, according to some scholars, are linked to an ancient cult of stones and the Sun. The place where they totally determine the landscape, making it unique in the world, is the famous Alberobello. Other things to note The trulli are ancient dwellings, adapted to the needs of our day. It is essential to remember that the house in which you are going to stay, despite the modern reinterpretations, remains a world heritage monument that requires respect and attention.
