Sumptuous 5* stay in an Italy boutique resort with private beach

• Five-star comfort: Adriatic sea views and a rustic-chic five-star feeling are just some of the thrills that await you at La Locanda del Carrubo. The rooms in this Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice hotel have flagstone floors, light blue shutters, and old school furniture, all of which creates a homely atmosphere in a pleasing setting. The pool and private beach area create sublime swimming and sunbathing opportunities, where you'll be taken in by the sheer beauty of the place.
  
  
• Taste of the Med: The restaurant boasts sensational sea views and traditional Italian gastronomy, using age-old Apulian recipes enhanced by the chef's flair and creativity. Create the perfect pairing for whatever you order with the 50 or so labels of champagne and fine Italian wines stocked in the cellar, too. If you can’t get enough of the food, take a taste of the Med home with you by learning the tricks of the trade in a cooking class with the head chef.
  
  
• Italian soul: Check into The Carruba Sky Spa for a some good old holistic wellness. Start off with a dip in the indoor sea water pool before a sauna session or soothing massage – there’s even a salt cave treatment with micronised Dead Sea salts. You'll find a unique dose of soul replenishment away from the spa and in the bright red classic Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 convertible that you can rent from the hotel. Enjoy an afternoon of undiluted Italian passion, cruising along the coastal roads in absolute style.
