In the heart of Marittima, the B&B Trappitu dei Settimi presents itself as a cozy retreat for those wishing to discover the wonders of Salento. The structure, a historic residence dating back to the early 1900s, retains the charm of a bygone era, enveloped by flowering gardens and fruit trees, in an unspoiled environment just a short distance from the sea. The name of the B&B itself originates from the dialect term for 'oil mill', evoking the agricultural tradition that characterizes the area.
The six tastefully furnished rooms offer privacy and comfort, each equipped with a private bathroom. The common areas, including a welcoming lounge with sofas and armchairs, invite relaxation and socialization. A table around an ancient millstone becomes the heart of breakfast, a significant moment where guests can savor culinary delights prepared with fresh, local ingredients, expressing the genuine hospitality of Salento.
Outside, the portico opens onto a shaded pergola, where climbing vines create an enchanting nook for moments of tranquility. Here, among comfortable couches, one can savor the sweet rhythm of the slow life of the village, immersed in an atmosphere that speaks of traditions and history.
Breakfast, prepared with passion and care by the owning family, is not just a meal but an experience that awakens the senses. Focaccia, friselline, and typical sweets alternate with fresh seasonal fruit, all accompanied by aromatic drinks. Every bite tells a story of local flavors, a result of the synergy with the family farm that provides vegetables and fruit directly from the garden.
Nestled in a typical landscape, the B&B Trappitu dei Settimi overlooks a rugged coast, where small coves and inlets offer opportunities for swimming and sunbathing. The sweetness of the Salento countryside, dotted with century-old olive groves, completes a picturesque setting, recalling the very essence of life in these places.
Every aspect of the stay is designed to make guests feel like protagonists of a story intertwined with the memory of the territory, contributing to a rich and authentic travel experience.
