Relais San Martino Salento - Handwritten Collection

We were guests of Relais San Martino, a truly unique and special location, a place of peace where you can find yourself, in harmony and well-being. The deluxe suite we occupied was large (made up of two large rooms each with its own full bathroom), comfortable (the interiors have been carefully studied down to the smallest details), equipped with a fridge, Illy coffee machine, kettle for herbal teas and a safe; also noteworthy is the extreme cleanliness of the rooms. An important mention of the attention that the structure reserves for the environment by adopting an eco-friendly management style. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with great kindness by Antonio, an exquisite person, with a welcome drink consumed in the beautiful garden in the shade of the trees. The details make the difference in this hotel, the sounds of Zen music in the background, the whispered conversation, the aromatherapy... the absolute white that prevails and gives a sense of relaxation, the thought of the goodnight message on the pillow... the buffet breakfast, rich and suitable for any need, the sweet Mariagrazia and the other ladies, always available to the customer's requests... and the cacti, the ancient citrus grove, the bougainvillea, the spaces and the colors! Everything is perfect. What is happiness at San Martino? It is a beer drunk by the pool, it is enjoying a good breakfast in the garden, it is walking in the citrus grove, it is sleeping peacefully, it is chatting with genuine people.. it is enjoying a swim in the pool, it is the quiet that you breathe. Truly, we felt at home, guests of the wonderful people and land of Salento. We already miss you: Antonio, Francesco, Federica, Imma, Rossella, Mariagrazia and the ladies of the hall and the others whose names I don't remember ... a thank you to the kind ladies who thought about the tidying of the rooms always with discretion. Thank you for making us spend a wonderful holiday. We really hope to come back to visit you. If you are looking for all this, you are in the right place!

In the Relais you can breathe a quiet and romantic atmosphere; location of other times (an ancient convent) preserving the past without losing the future. Staff very attentive to the satisfaction of the guests; they follow everything and everyone with discretion. Breakfast rich in elements of the highest quality, from fruit (fantastic fruit salad) to tasty jams and varieties of bread, passing through freshly baked croissants. We had dinner at the Casa Martino restaurant and there too the excellence is consistently confirmed! Appetizers and first courses with ingredients that may seem simple but expertly cooked have enhanced the freshness of the materials in an explosion of taste; sublime for example the seafood ragù with Gallipoli shrimp. Very large room, excellent quality of sleep. Compliments to all the staff who with their contribution honor the work and enhance the structure. Definitely to return.
