Many visitors also comment on the comfort of air conditioning during warm days and the calm, non-smoking environment in the rooms.
The property’s terrace is a natural gathering point at golden hour, and the on-site approach to local culture stands out: there’s guest education on local ecosystems and culture, which adds context for day trips around Puglia.
