Little Gem No. 028 | * A Monastery in Puglia

Italy > Puglia
users 4 bed 2 bath 1

Prices from €90

After years of studying and working around the world, Antonello Rizzello, a young entrepreneur, decides to come back to his “sleeping beauty: Nardò”. An art city, rich in palaces, towers, eclectic villas, castles, masserias, monumental gardens, and natural parks, and close to the coast with crystal clear water. It is a real melting pot of Greek, Roman, Norman, Spanish, and French dominations.

He decides to restore three monumental palaces, to open them to experience the culture of Puglia and to share the “beauty” with the curious traveler.
Guests stay in splendid rooms, rich in history, once inhabited by numerous eminent figures of the aristocracy of the Kingdom of Naples, of the Two Sicilies, and of the ecclesiastical world.

Additionally, there is a small restaurant with a panoramic view from the terraces of the palace. There are also temporary and permanent art exhibitions in the majestic halls of the Monastery, dominated by the sculptures created by Giovanni Maria Tarantino. Then there are the large frescoed halls, where one can lose oneself in reading an interesting book from the international library. From there you can also access the garden with the citrus grove and the private pool.

They also organize many cultural events and guided tours among noble palaces, castles, gentility and eclectic villas, masseria, and secret gardens.

In short, a beautiful place and a unique experience, that came together through passion and a need to share the beautiful things in life!
