About the Hotel
Alabaster stone and groves of centuries-old olive trees mark the medieval splendor of Relais Histò San Pietro Sul Mar Piccolo, a postcard-perfect resort located in a bucolic region of Puglia, Italy. Built on what was once an ancient Masseria that housed an abbey dating back to the first century, this cloistered retreat has just 46 stunning rooms and suites that evoke old world charm and contemporary pleasures. Chambers embrace a monochromatic color scheme, creating an uncluttered ambiance complemented by streamlined appointments. Some feature bathrooms cloaked in rich marble, while others boast Juliet-style terraces. The hotel has an aura of serenity, attributed to its estate-like setting, with an aroma of citrus and a perfect location between the placid waters of Mar Piccolo and the verdant, rolling hills.

Reviews for Relais Histò San Pietro Sul Mar Piccolo
Savor the history while being pampered
Stunning architecture, setting and amazing staff, this property has to be seen to be appreciated. Photos cannot capture the campus available for guest’s enjoyment. Bicycles are available to ride through the rolling wheat fields and olive groves with a chance to take everything in. The spa and treatments there are exceptional. Finally, the staff members go beyond, arranging for Scuba trips, family dinners in Taranto or tours of the historic hotel buildings. Meals also exceeded expectations with local dishes and great service.

Superb relaxing environment
4 nights in a beautiful first class estate with professional helpful staff (Alessandro and Anna especially friendly). Delightful, large, airy room. The spa is gorgeous and super relaxing. The whole experience was a joy and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

Good place but can do better
Nice location not far from Taranto. The hotel has been totally redone. Restaurant is good and restaurant staff is good. But the overall impression is fairly anonymous. And a major negative: Service at the reception was appalling. It felt like being treated by an unwelcoming civil servant. Not a top rated hotel.

Exceptional Stay
The rooms are well appointed. Really enjoyed the welcoming letter and treats. The staff are courteous, helpful an excellent resource. The breakfast was a special treat from the local pomegranate to the delicious breads and pastries. The pool area is very relaxing.

Amazing and relaxing
We spent two nights at the hotel while attending a wedding at a different venue. The property is beautiful. Our room was also great, high-ceilinged, elegant and comfortable. The food at breakfast/restaurant was exceptional, a lot of the ingredients coming from their garden. I didn't try the spa, but my partner praised it highly. Finally, the staff were amazing, so helpful and accomodating. It is a bit out of our way, but I hope I get the chance to visit again. Otherwise, I would love to be able to visit yearly for a couple of relaxing days.
