Relais Histó is a 5-star hotel made out of an old manor house. Entirely restored by Culti, it stands with its luxurious design surrounded by the scents of Mediterranean scrub, enveloped in the captivating atmospheres of the region of Salento, just 10 minutes away from the old city center of Taranto.
Romantically suspended between the extensive waters of Mar Piccolo and the gentle hills of olive groves that define Apulia, Relais Histó is the ideal starting point to visit the trulli houses of Alberobello, the wonderful Ostuni and the Sassi di Matera.
The manor house is convenient to the most beautiful beaches of Salento along the coastal road that leads to the charming Gallipoli.
Relais Histó is preferred by business travelers thanks to the fact that it provides easy access to the nearby industrial park, the offices of Boeing, Ilva, Eni, and Vestas and to the Container Terminal.
A few kilometers away, the city center of Taranto features a gorgeous Aragonese castle, the remote Cathedral of San Cataldo and the halls of the prestigious National Archeological Museum, which, together with the museum in Naples, is the most important museum in Southern Italy.
Southern Salento, Lecce and the evocative city of Otranto are all destinations that can be reached easily by driving for just a few hours, together with the historical settlements of Martina Franca and Grottaglie, the latter known for its surprising Ceramics District.
An extraordinary land, charming and full of art pieces, which include the baroque triumph sculpted out of Lecce stone, the unique architecture of Castel del Monte, the watchtowers along the coastline, the old manor houses, the uncontaminated beaches and the halls of the numerous museums, noble palaces and gorgeous cathedrals: Apulia, an endless feeling!
