A fairytale five-star escape to a historic trulli-turned-hotel at the heart of breathtaking Puglia - including breakfast, a suite and more
  • Historic Apulian inn: Made up of a collection of conical-rooved trulli (traditional dry stone huts), and surrounded by idyllic olive groves and vineyards, Il Palmento is the stuff of fairytales. Dating back to between 1780 and 1820, each trullo has been beautifully transformed into a luxurious, five-star suite, for an enchanting stay that's as elegant as it is historical.

  • Beauty and bliss: Experience la dolce vita in an idyllic setting, surrounded by the history and beauty of the Itria Valley countryside. You can tuck into the best of local cuisine and enjoy authentic Apulian flavours at the atmospheric restaurant, get your annual dose of Vitamin D lounging by the side of the contemporary pool, or simply stroll around the stunning and historic grounds - the choice is yours. 

  • Rest and relaxation: The spa and wellness centre is the place to go for R&R, but if bubbling away in the Jacuzzi or relaxing in the sauna sounds too low-key, there’s little chance of finding yourself at a loose end around here. Try your hand at tennis, basketball or volleyball, or spoil yourself with a tour of the region, sampling olive oil that's good enough to drink and wines held in high regard by the country’s top vintners.

How to get there

The hotel is located in the Apulian countryside, around 80 kilometres from Bari Airport, which takes roughly an hour by car.
