Victor Country Hotel

In the heart of Valle d'Itria in Alberobello — the UNESCO-listed capital of trulli. Set across 42 hectares of lavender and olive groves, with sandy beaches and rocky coves on both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts about 20 km away. A family-friendly countryside escape with historic charm.

Three adjoining buildings — the 19th-century Masseria, the colorful Uliveto and the comfy Granaio — plus the historic Casa Rossa. Thirty-eight rooms (Comfort, Superior and Junior Suite) blend traditional stone, wood and iron with contemporary fittings and countryside views. Rooms include air conditioning, minibar, safe, satellite/LCD TV, en-suite with tub or shower, bidet and hairdryer. Find relaxation in the Fienile Massage Room, an intimate stone house set in greenery.

Seasonal outdoor pool framed by lavender and olive trees, an outdoor Easyline Technogym circuit, trekking and Nordic-walking trails across the estate, and mountain bikes to rent for rides along dry-stone-walled roads. Outdoor playgrounds keep kids busy. Shuttle options available for nearby attractions.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, express check-in and check-out, and shuttle services (airport/cruise shuttles available for a surcharge). Complimentary newspapers in the lobby.

On-site restaurant overlooking the countryside serves breakfast and dinner with locally produced ingredients and regional Puglian flavors. Special menus feature farm-bred snails. There’s a bar/lounge and limited-hour room service for late arrivals.
