Borgo Mulino a Vento - Resort ★★★★

They say yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, and this saying is very true at the Hotel Resort Mulino a Vento. The owners have taken a historic oil mill and transformed it into an exquisite boutique hotel in one of Italy’s most popular holiday destinations. Life in and near Salento revolved around olive oil, making oil mills a sacred establishment. The hotel invites you to become a part of this history, and even provides the opportunity to visit the underground mill which has been well kept and preserved.

Staying in a historic building will make your visit unique and characterful. The hotel’s rustic facade, mosaic paving and ceilings lined with wooden beams perfectly capture the atmosphere of yesterday. Outside, the rows of olive trees give the grounds an authentic Mediterranean feel. The hotel rooms look out onto the Italian gardens and are named after processes undertaken at the oil mill once upon a time, each with their own patio and private entrance from the garden.

If yesterday is history, what of tomorrow? The hotel has fully embraced the future, where sleek, modern design meets historic intricate flourishes. Discover the mysteries of the local culture at the hotel’s restaurant, where you can taste Italian food and wine from every region, whether that be inside or al fresco. You can even enrol for guided tasting or cooking lessons. The Hotel Resort Mulino a Vento is passionate about culture, people and their stories, and what you decide to do with your tomorrow is your story and your mystery...
