Stunning hotel in a beautiful location! Our room was very comfortable with a balcony overlooking the expansive gardens. The staff went above and beyond to look after us. Fab pool area, and recommend a massage and swim in the warm spa pool. Dinner was delicious and very good value, so much food! Breakfast definitely worth it, so many options including fruit from the estate. Very much hope to return one day…

Beautiful exterior, but rooms are quite old, toilets are not well maintained with rusty tap (in a 5-star hotel?)

Pool was closed in end of Sep, but on the Expedia website hotel description, it says seasonal pool is only closed from October. Receptionist is not helpful nor friendly while check-in. It is not a 5-star experience that is expected.

Restaurant staff is attentive though.

Overall, do not recommend this hotel for this price.

Fantastic hotel, ultimate Italy experience

The hotel is located a few kilometres outside of Taranto on a small hill within massive olive groves. Driving up to the hotel I first thought it is a small village just to find out that the village was indeed converted into this amazing hotel.

Walking into the courtyard towards the reception one immediately got the feeling of grandeur and class. A feeling that was confirmed over the days of our stay.

The room was very impressive with a cathedral ceiling and exposed brick. It was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable.

The restaurant is amazing with impeccable service and outstanding food. The prices are definitely comparable to good restaurants in the region. I have to mention the quality of service again as it was truly first class.

This is a place I will never forget. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this gem.

Don't go! this is my little gem!

The Hotel was absolutely amazing, out of the way, almost tranquil.

We arrived very late and unfortunately the restaurant had closed but the bar was able to make us a snack, though limited.

The room was clean and the complimentary bar was a god send as there are no nearby shops to go grab a drink., non alcoholic of course

The breakfast buffet was as to expected and the pastries were irresistible.

We did make it a must to have supper from the Restaurant, We are so glad we did.

If you are going to order, don't order the full Italian courses, the portion are so large. you're not going to finish it unless you're Italian..

The staff are amazing pleasing and friendly. . never felt unwelcome one bit.

We will be back!

Perfect Relaxation

My daughter and I stayed here in the middle of a 2 week trip through Italy. A perfect respite from the trains, planes and cars. We had Spa massages and spent some time in the Lagoon. Lagoon, maybe overrated, but the massage was the best I've had in my 56 years! A bit of moist mold on one of the walls in the room needed to be pointed out to the staff. I'm sure it was fixed immediately. Probably happened because someone spent hours in the incredible shower with room for at least 4 people. Pleasure for sure.

Everything was great BUT unfortunately they have a trick on the spa and wellness brochure which you need to be aware.
Everything on the manu has a price listed (massages scrub facial nails etc) EXCEPT the SPA sauna Turkish bath and pools tour.
They decided to omit the price so customer get confused and think that is free of charge but at the end they ask for 95€ for person. I found it very tricky because if they want to be honest they have to have price list with everything not everything except the spa tour.
Once I told them they told me: IT IS NOT WRITTEN ITS FREE OF CHARGE.
I said ok so if I use the pool or the gym after you will charge me because it is not written is not included?
A structure need to be clear on prices and transparent. If they do not specify the price it means that it is arbitrary.
The food was great the hotel is beautiful and the spa amazing.

Beautiful architecture, but not a 5star

That the spa is not included is important to write in the description of the hotel. Also the spa is not up to the standard I have seen of 5star hotels all over Europe. The gym didn’t have good air condition. We ordered a deep tissue massage but got just oiled in and it’s by my experience not a 5 star educated massage professional hired doing the job.
The positive side and stars of this hotel is the food and the service in the restaurant and pool bar. There has been a careful thought out in to the architecture and overall construction and gardens making it peaceful and elegant.

More than a nice hotel.. a GREAT EXPERIENCE

When we talk about leisure, I am convinced: less and less we go to a restaurant just to eat or even a hotel to just sleep. It is at that moment when the concept of EXPERIENCE makes sense. Some people think that it is fashion, frivolity or one more excuse for things to be more expensive, however, it should not always be that way.
Relais Histo, is one of the places where every euro makes sense.
Jan and I arrived by boat from Greece so we were at the hotel earlier than expected .A friendly welcome from Alessandra, with a sincere smile and professional treatment .. something as simple as that and offer us a glass of water flavored with lemon and mint and an espresso, it was enough to feel at home .As soon as the room was available (much sooner than I expected and it would have been normal), Alessandra accompanied us and showed us the suite. It was really starting very well!..Pool, reading time in the room and ready for dinner
As we had asked to try local dishes, we were notified in the room, that although it was pizza night the chef offered to prepare a regional tasting .. another wow moment!.Domenico, the chef, went to our table and he explained gently what was going to happen.It was “amazing”.I had not eaten at lunch to make “espace” for dinner,but we tasted so many things and so delicious, I almost rolled into the room.Everything was perfect, but the attention given by Giovanni, the maitre, and his team was magnificent. Thx all for this nice experience!

ACHTUNG VOR BUCHUNG

Das Hotel wird als 5 Sterne Unterkunft angeboten und die schönen Fotos haben uns dazu veranlasst, das Hotel zu buchen. Allerdings müsste eindeutig erkenntlich sein, dass der Spa-Bereich im hoch hohen Übernachtungspreis nicht inkludiert ist und der Betreiber auch für Hotelgäste zusätzliche Preise verlangt, die inakzeptabel sind. Allein für die Innenpoolanlage wird über 60 € aufgerufen, und das für eine begrenzte Zeit von 45 oder 60 min., d.h. danach muss man den Spa-Bereich wieder verlassen. Für uns inakzeptabel, aber aufgrund unserer Hochzeitsreise haben wir uns ein Paket mit Poolbentzung und Massage von 220 € (für 2 Stunden) geleistet...Die Massage war toll, aber der Preis steht in KEINEM Verhältnis zum Angebot, insbeondere, da man sonst im Hotel nichts unternehmen kann. Das Frühstückpersonal ist sehr unfreundlich und entspricht absolut nicht einem 5 Sterne Standard. Die Zimmer sind nicht sauber, insbesondere die Duschen im Bad sind verrostet, wie die u.s. Bilder verdeutlichen. Zudem habe ich juckende, rote Stellen an beiden Beinen bekommen, woher die stammen, kann ich natürlich nicht eindeutig sagen, aber irgendetwas muss mich in der Nacht gebissen haben.

Service laat te wensen over

Complex buiten Taranto. Lange oprit vanaf snelweg moet worden geasfalteerd en verlicht. Koele ontvangst bij receptie. Je moet zelf je koffers naar kamer brengen vanaf parkeerterrein. Kamers zijn ruim maar badkamer is aan kleine kant. Ontbijtbuffet is okay maar te weinig personeel en te weinig tafels. Helaas buiten te warm. Zwembad valt tegen door weinig echt goede relaxplekken en steekvliegen. Chillen bij zwembad moet op aparte plek. Prijs kwaliteit niet op orde.

L' hotel ha bisogno di alcuni interventi di restauro, muri scrostati nella camere, ruggine sugli infissi delle finestre della Spa. La Spa è grande ma bisognerebbe aumentare la temperatura dell' acqua, specie per la piscina esterna e dell'ambiente in genreale. Inoltre credo sia molto meglio lasciare liberi gli ospiti di scegliere il tempo di permanenza per i vari trattameni del percorso. Il risotornate è buono ma non eccezionale rispetto ai prezzi del menù.
