Relais Histo

It is the perfect spot to wind down with gourmet dining, very much appreciated, a striking courtyard and a 1st-century AD basilica, now used for meetings. Surrounded by acres of olive groves, valued throughout, the hotel is a sympathetically restored medieval masseria with views of the Mare Piccolo, close to Taranto. With the historic integrity of the building retained, highly regarded, the effect is calming and relaxing.
A fabulous fusion of historic architecture and contemporary interior design, and above all, stone arches, vaulted ceilings and cream stone walls are cleverly highlighted by simple, yet effective decor and modern furnishings. Then, very much appreciated, head to one of the nearby sandy beaches or go inland to the small town of Martina Franca, renowned for its baroque buildings.
Discover Relais Histo's ancient basilica complete with frescoes.
the hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property. The next day, and above all, book a guided tour of the 15th-century Castello Aragonese that guards the swing bridge between Taranto's old and new towns.
