This is perhaps the most luxurious hotel we have ever stayed in: spacious grounds, huge rooms, wonderful bathrooms, charming multilingual staff everywhere. It is way out of town, hence quiet and peaceful, and its superior restaurant frees you from having to leave for dinner, since you could not do better anywhere else. Terrific local wine list, too. It does require... More

The most spaceous rroms i've seen. The whole venue is so relaxing. Like a big resoirt in the middle of no where. Worst bit is that it does not exist on any GPS device. I got lost 2 hours in Taranto farms before i bumped into it by chance. But it's worth the effort. Service is good although they always... More

This place is an amazing feat of design, preserving the bones of the origin 1350's manor house while incorporating modern upscale rooms for guests. The restaurant and spa are wonderful, the staff is friendly and multi-lingual, and rooms are comfortable and spacious.

What a disappointment after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor and checking their website... We arrived at 13:35, a bit in a hurry as we knew that the hotel only serve lunch until 14:00. I had sent them several emails to be sure they could prepare some food for my 2 year old child during our stay. When we arrived, we... More

This hotel is the epitome of style - from the well placed designer signs on the approach roads to the toilet roll holder in the bathroom elegantly and efficiently placed at exactly 45°. The elegant group of buildings that comprise the Relais Histó (Histó stands for history) are in part reconstructions that harmonise beautifully with each other and the surroundings.... More

I almost don't want to give the good review that Relais Histo deserves as I loved how private and secluded the hotel is! We arrived having planned to stay only four nights, but from the moment we passed through the gates and into the beautiful hotel we knew we wanted to stay for longer. The staff were faultless and helped... More

We have just returned from an 8 night stay at Relais Histo - which was outstanding. Great hotel with great amenities, fabulous restaurant, friendly, professional and helpful staff, and a good base from which to explore Puglia and Basilicata. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would recommend to anyone wanting a luxury spa break in a small quiet resort.... More
