About Relais Histo
Surrounded by acres of olive groves, Relais Histo is a sympathetically restored medieval masseria with views of the Mar Piccolo, close to Taranto. It is the perfect spot to wind down with gourmet dining, a spa, pools, a striking courtyard and a 1st century AD basilica, now used for meetings. A fabulous fusion of historic architecture and contemporary interior design, stone arches, vaulted ceilings and cream stone walls are cleverly highlighted by simple, yet effective decor and modern furnishings. With the historic integrity of the building retained, the effect is calming and relaxing. Discover the hotels ancient basilica complete with frescoes. Then, head to one of the nearby sandy beaches or go inland to the small town of Martina Franca, renowned for its baroque buildings.
