surrounded by landscaped gardens and
a natural park with oak, eucalyptus, pine and olive
trees, hosts Relais Villa
San Martino. Situated in the baroque town of Martina Franca, in the Puglia

The interiors, subtle yet impressive,
decorated with local antiques and Louis
XVI–style pieces,
ancient paintings, sophisticated
silks and embellished
with beautiful art, prints, and

From the grandest to the smallest, the rooms are
all elegant, inviting and comfortable with a warm, unpretentious
atmosphere swathed in
silks, custom-made at San
Léucio, and damasks in blue, gold,
green, and rose.
All throughout, refined, versatile spaces and impeccable service assure the perfect outcome of
any stay.

Duca" offers, traditional dishes based on ancient

Finally, why not inspire yourself with the songs of the cicadas while enjoying a walk
through the park full of flowers, or when you go by the rose pergola,
the outdoor
theatre in a lemon grove or the wonderful gazebo. A blend of intense light, lovely view and refined hospitality,
will give
life to the intense emotions of travel memories, staying for years after leaving
