Beautiful if rather remote hotel. We had a lovely stay here and really enjoyed the calm relaxed environment. You do need a car though.

one of the prettiest hotels I have ever stayed in . Historical building yet built with brand new luxuries. Great for people who want to escape and have privacy .

Beautiful hotel. Location a bit isolated - you definitely need a car to get about. Rooms very comfortable and super clean. Food and drink service could be improved.

When we talk about leisure, I am convinced: less and less we go to a restaurant just to eat or even a hotel to just sleep. It is at that moment when the concept of EXPERIENCE makes sense. Some people think that it is fashion, frivolity or one more excuse for things to be more expensive, however, it should not always be that way. Relais Histo, is one of the places where every euro makes sense. Jan and I arrived by boat from Greece so we were at the hotel earlier than expected .A friendly welcome from Alessandra, with a sincere smile and professional treatment .. something as simple as that and offer us a glass of water flavored with lemon and mint and an espresso, it was enough to feel at home .As soon as the room was available (much sooner than I expected and it would have been normal), Alessandra accompanied us and showed us the suite. It was really starting very well!..Pool, reading time in the room and ready for dinner As we had asked to try local dishes, we were notified in the room, that although it was pizza night the chef offered to prepare a regional tasting .. another wow moment!.Domenico, the chef, went to our table and he explained gently what was going to happen.It was “amazing”.I had not eaten at lunch to make “espace” for dinner,but we tasted so many things and so delicious, I almost rolled into the room.Everything was perfect, but the attention given by Giovanni, the maitre, and his team was magnificent. Thx all for this nice experience!

Very comfortable - the rooms were very welcoming. the grounds have a lot of history - the staff were very friendly and helpful. A bicycles were a plus.

What a marvellous property. Elegant and luxurious. Wonderful facilities and superb staff. A real joy to discover

Hotel.bars,pool etc were all great BUT room housekeeping was poor with no spare toilet paper, no tissues in an empty dispenser, curtains which were off their runners and a safe which continually malfunctioned.No coffee for the in room service and initially no glasses for mini bar/water etc. Not 5 star standard!!! #

The hotel is incredibly, it is literal in the middle of nowhere which might be a bit difficult to find if your driving but I’m that also makes it very special being away of noise and crowds, it’s a place simple to relax and enjoy, service is absolutely excellent, if you want to have a completely different holidays, to really relax or to celebrate something special this is the place, you won’t regret it 😊

A very nice hotel/resort. Good pool area, and nice staff. Did not test the restaurants, but they looked very nice and Cozy. A nice place for a romantic holiday outside Taranto City

Beautiful hotel friendly staff

Everything was perfect, the hotel, the staff, specially Alessandra, the room, the food, the spa. Took a walk around the property in the trail, breathless. 5 *****! Will return! Grazie mille!

My wife and I stayed for two days at this grand hotel and spa. Service was first rate and the facility is extraordinary. Food was excellent, although the dinner menu is primarily fish dishes. The spa was fantastic and professionally staffed. A memorable couple of days and we look forward to a return visit.

terrific experience. Beautiful hotel.Very very special. Fantastic room. Good breakfast.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is excellent with great food. I even got the possibility to get a look at the stunning SPA... I will be back! I love Puglia.

The hotel in it's complexity is really nice. The rooms are clean and large. The breakfast buffet is really complete ( eggs, bread, donuts, fruit ecc.). 90% of the hotel staff is friendly and professional. For shame some details of maintenance should be reviewed. The whole atmosphere of this historical complex is really excellent and we will return.

The hotel is located a few kilometres outside of Taranto on a small hill within massive olive groves. Driving up to the hotel I first thought it is a small village just to find out that the village was indeed converted into this amazing hotel.Walking into the courtyard towards the reception one immediately got the feeling of grandeur and class. A feeling that was confirmed over the days of our stay.The room was very impressive with a cathedral ceiling and exposed brick. It was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable.The restaurant is amazing with impeccable service and outstanding food. The prices are definitely comparable to good restaurants in the region. I have to mention the quality of service again as it was truly first class.This is a place I will never forget. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this gem.

Enjoyed a three night stay in early April. Everything about the stay was superb. It is a beautiful historic facility in a quiet location. We enjoyed high quality meals and a spa treatment during our stay.

The hotel was difficult to find but well worth the effort. It is like an oasis!

What a great facility. Location and style like nothing I have ever stayed in before. Must have a car though. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere but a close drive to Taranto, which was a great city to visit, and Lecce.

This is a definite if you want to relax near Taranto, Italy. The job of reconstruction of this ancient property was done to perfection. The restaurant is definitely five star and the breakfast service and food quality was unbelievable.

very pleasant hotel and an oasis of calm and serenity.

The Hotel was absolutely amazing, out of the way, almost tranquil. We arrived very late and unfortunately the restaurant had closed but the bar was able to make us a snack, though limited. The room was clean and the complimentary bar was a god send as there are no nearby shops to go grab a drink., non alcoholic of course The breakfast buffet was as to expected and the pastries were irresistible. We did make it a must to have supper from the Restaurant, We are so glad we did. If you are going to order, don't order the full Italian courses, the portion are so large. you're not going to finish it unless you're Italian.. The staff are amazing pleasing and friendly. . never felt unwelcome one bit. We will be back!

I cannot fault this hotel in any way. The web-site photos do not do it justice. Everything was of the highest quality and spotlessly clean. The interior design was relaxing and sympathetic to the original architecture, high quality comfortable beds and linen, discreet friendly service and an excellent restaurant on site.

My daughter and I stayed here in the middle of a 2 week trip through Italy. A perfect respite from the trains, planes and cars. We had Spa massages and spent some time in the Lagoon. Lagoon, maybe overrated, but the massage was the best I've had in my 56 years! A bit of moist mold on one of the walls in the room needed to be pointed out to the staff. I'm sure it was fixed immediately. Probably happened because someone spent hours in the incredible shower with room for at least 4 people. Pleasure for sure.

This place rocks, This is so romantic place. I would love to go back to this hotel. very very very very nice
