Relais d'Itria

Nestled in the tranquility of the Apulian countryside, the villa relais is located in Grottaglie within an enchanting estate, surrounded by approximately 23, 000 square meters of parkland featuring ancient olive trees, a 5, 000 square meter pine forest, and expansive orchards and orange groves that provide vibrant fragrances and colors throughout the seasons. The landscape is enhanced by a large plantation of prickly pears that borders the back of the property, creating a natural oasis where silence, greenery, and lushness accompany every moment of your stay.

The outdoor spaces are designed for relaxation and socializing. At the heart of the property is a large semi-Olympic swimming pool, complete with a whirlpool area and a shallow section for children, making it perfect for cooling off on hot days or enjoying soothing moments of wellness. Surrounding the pool, well-maintained lawns, views of the countryside, and various secluded corners invite guests to slow down and appreciate nature.

The villa welcomes guests into spacious and thoughtfully designed areas, where comfort and ambiance blend elegantly. The large terracotta veranda, with its sloping roofs, features an outdoor bar and a private pizza area, as well as cozy seating for relaxing during the day or on summer evenings. Inside, there is a lounge with a fireplace, a reading area, and a multilingual library, alongside a TV area with relaxing sofas. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

The rooms, decorated with attention to detail, are equipped with independent air conditioning, smart TVs, and memory foam mattresses, providing comfortable and restful environments. The suite includes two spacious double bedrooms and opens onto a large private veranda furnished with a sunbathing area and a gazebo, overlooking the pool. Additional spacious rooms are also available, ideal for those seeking practical solutions without compromising on the quality of their stay. The amenities include a dedicated fitness room and a professional two-person sauna.

The culinary offerings highlight the flavors of the region with typical Apulian dishes prepared upon request, using genuine ingredients and produce grown on the estate.

A variety of services are available upon request, including babysitting, bicycle and car rentals, shuttle services to and from airports and train stations, horseback riding, and boat excursions along the coast.

The location allows for easy access to the sandy beaches and clear waters of the Ionian coast and to discover some of the most charming destinations in the Valle d’Itria, including trulli, historic farmhouses, and whitewashed villages. The villa also serves as an ideal setting for weddings, ceremonies, and events, offering scenic spaces immersed in nature and attentive hospitality designed to make every guest feel at home.
