Hidden among the gentle hills of the Itria Valley, the Riposo del Vento is a charming complex dating back to the 19th century, characterized by a suggestive ensemble of trulli and lamie, built with typical local stone. Guests are welcomed by Francesca and Juan, a couple of Apulians by adoption, who offer a warm and familial atmosphere, making every stay not only a moment of relaxation but also an immersion into Apulian culture.
Surrounded by a large garden adorned with centuries-old olive trees, the Riposo del Vento is equipped with a pool and play areas for the little ones. Here, guests can enjoy the warmth of the sun or rest in the shade of the trees, perhaps reading a book or swaying in a hammock, lulled by the sounds of nature. Each accommodation, ranging from trulli to lamie, is renovated with respect for local traditions and offers modern and cozy comforts such as air conditioning, equipped kitchens, and LCD TVs.
Breakfast, one of the most anticipated moments of the day, is prepared with fresh and local ingredients, offering a wide selection of homemade delicacies including jams, cakes, eggs, and cheeses. The inviting aroma of freshly baked dishes guides guests to the terrace, where the views and flavors blend into a unique experience.
Moreover, the strategic location allows for easy exploration of the historical villages of Ostuni, Martina Franca, and Alberobello, as well as the natural and cultural wonders of the region. Guests can take advantage of bicycles to venture along trails immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, olive groves, and vineyards, with the opportunity to discover hidden corners and typical products to taste at sunset.
Francesca and Juan not only offer accommodation but create an environment where simplicity and beauty intertwine, inviting every traveler to experience the magic of being in Apulia. With animals populating the garden and an atmosphere of conviviality, the Riposo del Vento represents a perfect refuge for those seeking peace, nature, and authenticity in an enchanting context.
