The main bedroom
Under the stone vault, a large bed with hotel bedding, a reading corner and a mirrored wardrobe.
Step into history
A charming mid-19th-century home with star-vaulted ceilings, in the heart of Martina Franca's old town. Sleep beneath vaults more than a hundred years old, and do everything on foot.
A charming 19th-century home with the comfort of a hotel
All on one level, under its original star vaults: five-star hotel beds and linen, furniture made to measure or found at antique markets, family pieces, underfloor heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. For a couple or a small family.
98 m² · 2 bedrooms · up to 5 guests
The children's room
Bunk beds and a trundle bed, a desk beneath the window, under the same stone vault.
The living room
The corner sofa with its yellow cushions, under the vault, for evenings after a day out in the valley.
Everything on foot, like a local
San Martino Basilica, Piazza Plebiscito and the Palazzo Ducale are two to six minutes from the front door. You leave the car in the free car park, 250 metres away, and take the old town at the pace of the people who call it home.
In the heart of Puglia
“Siamo al centro della Puglia”, says Rosanna. One home, no repacking: each day a different town in the Itria Valley, the sea or Matera, and in the evening, you come home.
Explore the day tripsPuglia, the way we live it here
The day trips Rosanna and Massimo have made themselves, and recommend to you.
The boat trip from Monopoli to Polignano a Mare, and back along the coast. The rock-cut churches and caves of Massafra. A guided walk along the old transhumance trails, among the wild plants and animals. A masseria with a tasting, and the wines of the Itria Valley.
Martina, in every season
“Summer is hot, autumn is perfect and winter is magical”: that is how Rosanna describes her town.
Outside, the vineyards and the new wine for the feast of San Martino, Christmas lights in the narrow streets, summer evenings when the old town comes alive. Then back into the warm: a cup of tea, a book, under the vaults.

Rosanna welcomes you
Rosanna is from here. With Massimo, she opens the door for you, shows you around the house and shares her own addresses: where to eat, which village to see on which day, where to park.
Before you arrive and during your stay, she replies quickly, and she has thought of the details before you do.
