In the history and culture of Puglia
Accommodation Description
Trullo Santangelo is a complex of Trulli with nine cones dating from the 18th century. Its founder, Maestro Altavilla, the first oboe of the New York Metropolitan, had identified a spiritual refuge and a happy oasis immersed in nature in this property. Initially renovated in 1990, it opened the doors to travelers from around the world in 2011, thanks to the contribution of the Elia family. For the fifth generation, Daniele and Sergio are committed today to providing high-quality services. The farm offers five solutions, each adapted to a specific profile of customers, from the double teal to the family apartment. It also has a swimming pool and a restaurant.
To highlight: the rooms are Trulli and Lamías (still typical but without a conical roof like the Trulli), authentic and original, with a charming touch.

South of Puglia
Accommodation Description
This second stage will take you south of Puglia to La Biomasseria Santa Lucia, in the countryside, 3km from the sea. Here we are in the heart of Salento, the heel of Italy, the land of pizzica (traditional Apulian dance) and Baroque Art. The old farmhouse was a hypogeum mill and has become, after its restoration, a multi-purpose space where their owners tried to create various universes, all respectful of the environment, its history, and its culture. The pilgrimage route to the Holy Land passed through here, and the Masseria still preserves intact a church and frescoes in the tower with symbols that testify to this past.
Today, the management has passed to Eliana and her daughter Maria, who run the business, looking after the property with dedication but with particular attention to their guests, so that they feel welcome at home.
The Masseria offers hospitality within the ancient walls in eight well-kept and comfortable rooms (each with a small private terrace).
On the property, you can find a garden of organic vegetables, several educational paths, a gastronomic area (where you can taste the delicacies of the farm), and a lovely pool.
