The bedrooms are built out of part ancient lamia, with half a meter thick walls and high vaulted ceilings, the quaint furniture which is in keeping with the original structure. The décor of the bedrooms and the shared bathroom is in the theme of scented roses whilst the comfortable breakfast room has a Mediterranean theme of olives and lemons, this is echoed in the drapes which lead out to a sun soaked terrace, where guests can relax on the cane furniture.

Camere

Le camere, ricavate parzialmente da un’antica lamia, hanno mura dello spessore di mezzo metro, soffitti alti a volta e sono arredate in uno stile che valorizza la struttura originale dell’edificio. Le camere e il bagno in comune sono decorate con motivi floreali mentre la comoda sala da pranzo è arredata in stile mediterraneo con motivi di ulivi e limoni ripresi anche dalle tende della porta finestra che si affaccia sulla terrazza assolata. Qui potrete potrete rilassarvi sulle comode poltrone di vimini.

The coast has some marvellous beaches overlooking the crystal sea, many having a blue flag status and local authorities battle each year to maintain that status in keeping them up to standard.

The Castellana caves (Grotto di Castellana) are the most spectacular geological complex of caves in the whole of Italy, lying slightly east of Bari near the small town of Castellana, discovered in 1938 by Franco Anelli. The main chamber which is called ‘Grave' is 70m deep consisting of a huge passage 50m wide, 60m high and 600m long. This area is separated into 2 chambers and alcoves by huge formations forming towers and castles, walls and bridges. ‘Grotta Bianca' leads into the south east section which houses a show case of pure white stalagmites and stalactites forming a curtain of calcite crystals.

The architecture is completely unique and has a considerable amount of well-preserved Baroque architecture in many of the towns in the province of Lecce, which is known as the ‘Florence of the south'. In Lecce's heyday in the 17 th century, noblemen, merchants and religious orders of the city competed with each other on who could build the most sumptuous palaces. This type of architecture is characterized by the extremely ornate carvings that cover the entire surfaces of the churches and the palazzi.

Puglia also known as Apulia is the sun drenched stiletto heel of Italy's boot. It is the southern most region of Italy and gateway to the east, with ferries leaving every day from Brindisi and Bari for Yugoslavia and Greece. It has so much to offer with a wealth of things to see and do, it is the jewel of Italy's crown. Blossoming Puglia is now becoming as popular as Tuscany was in the 1980's. With tiny churches swathed in mystery, isolated coves and seas, this area is steeped in thousands of years of history and tradition.

The nearest town

The hillside town of Ostuni, also known as the ‘White city' rising up out of the Puglian countryside is a real magnet for tourists. The ‘centre historico' the historic centre is made up of a tumble of dazzling white washed houses and shops accessible through a labyrinth of tiny cobbled back streets. The old centre comes alive at night with restaurants and pizza houses. Marina di Ostuni is just 10 minutes away; this is a stretch of deserted beach some 20 km long.

PUGLIA

Puglia was always a summer destination for northern Italians, but it is steadily becoming more popular with visitors from the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. Its friendly local people, the fine Mediterranean climate, beautiful scenery and long stretches of coastline make it a real tourist magnet. Celebrities including Tom Hanks, Sophia Loren, George Clooney and Helen Mirren have also discovered its charm and made their homes here.
