Ddò Relais di Puglia was born from the careful recovery of a Lamia from the early twentieth century and preserves all the charm of the old Apulian rural building: the harmony of shapes and volumes, the thick walls made of light-colored stone, the arches and cross vaults, the ingenuity and poetry of the dry stone walls. The renovation preserved the integrity of the places and gave a new look to the spaces originally used as agricultural warehouses and animal shelters. In particular, on the lamia a targeted demolition and reconstruction of dilapidated parts was carried out restoring the original architectural typology.During the restoration, locally sourced materials were used with the same characteristics as the existing ones; floors were recovered with the original cement tiles used as inserts of the new flooring or other furnishings, made almost entirely by local artisans. An artesian well for water supply was made by recovering an existing cistern. The spa was built by excavating under part of the original structure while stone walkways immersed in the meadows and among the olive trees allow guests to fully enjoy the surrounding nature.
Ddò Relais is an oasis of peace and refinement nestled in the heart of Puglia, the result of a careful restoration of a traditional Lamia. This structure has kept the spirit of ancient Puglia intact, highlighting the harmony of shapes and volumes, with its compact white stone walls, surrounded by typical dry stone walls. Ddò Relais is a place where time seems to stand still, offering its guests an authentic and immersive experience in the timeless beauty of the Apulian territory.
The Retreat, nestled in four hectares of countryside in the Itria Valley, overlooking the estate's vineyard on one side and a forest of centuries-old oaks on the other, has five rooms with unique features, cared for in every detail and equipped with all comforts. Guests can enjoy a swimming pool with solarium, the spa, a rooftop terrace and an outdoor patio, where breakfast is served.
For those seeking privacy and exclusivity, the estate offers a detached villa that has private parking, pool and solarium, and can accommodate up to six people, making it an ideal choice for families or groups of friends.
Ddò Relais is also an example of sustainability. The property provides muscle and pedal-assisted bicycles for guests to explore the area, as well as electric car charging stations. This attention to the environment reflects the founding values of the company, which aims to offer a stay experience in harmony with nature.
Thanks to all this, Ddò Relais is the ideal base for discovering the Apulian territory and its community, offering a stay that combines luxury, comfort and authenticity.
