What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The rooms are spacious and simply furnished with beautiful local colors and materials.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Oak forests and winding dry-stone lanes surround the property, with the historic centers of Locorotondo and Alberobello a short drive away.
The rooms
Limestone walls and understated local woodwork shape the rooms, while select suites add wood-burning fireplaces and private outdoor hot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Loungers and parasols surround the outdoor swimming pool, set between ancient olive groves and vineyards.
The baths
A hydrotherapy pool rests beneath rough-hewn stone arches, accompanied by a dedicated Turkish steam bath.
The gym
Cardio machines in the glass-walled fitness studio face the trees, and loaner bikes are ready for countryside rides.
Restaurant
Ristorante Vulé
Evenings on the pergola terrace bring regional Puglian recipes crafted with seasonal produce from the grounds.
How it began
Purchased as ruins in the 1970s, the former farmhouse estate was carefully rebuilt using traditional dry-stone masonry and classic conical roofs.
