Relais Villa San Martino ★★★★★
Pamper yourself in this Italian mansion
By Melanie Webb, VeryChic correspondent
Italy, glorious Italy, where you’ll find fine wine, flowing olive oil and refined cuisine; it is a place famous for its Mediterranean delights. However, sometimes the rush of Naples, the crowds of Rome and the impracticalities of Venice are not exactly what you are looking for. You want pure, tranquil Italy all to yourself. Some things are just not for sharing. And that’s why we have ventured to Italy’s heel, Apulia, where rural landscapes astonish and life’s simple pleasures really come alive. Relais Villa San Martino ***** is an elegant mansion perfectly placed in this rich, natural paradise.
The Relais Villa San Martino ***** is magnificent and majestic, flanked by exotic palm trees and surrounded by a landscaped garden, its grand exterior is love at first sight. The 19th-century Italian façade and leading staircase beckons guests in and invites them to relish in the delights to be found hidden inside. Secluded and exclusive, you will feel like you have the place all to yourself. The hotel’s imperial character continues inside, where gold adorns picture frames and the front desk and famous Italian marble shows her face.
The rooms and suites are embellished with the same touch of grandeur, with embroidered rugs and headboards to match gracefully draped curtains. Comfortable and spacious, there might be little reason to leave such luxury, if it were not for the ample range of hotel facilities that promise to pamper. The first and most obvious choice, the Oasis spa, is synonymous with wellness. Soak in a hot pool surrounded by smooth stone pillars and intricate lanterns to emerge feeling re-energised. If you truly want to have an experience all to yourself, why not book a relaxing massage or revitalising spa treatment? Now that your body has been pampered, you might want to spoil those taste buds at the hotel’s restaurant, Duca di Martina, offering the best of rich Apulian cuisine in a splendidly classical setting.
Now, do not make the mistake that most make, thinking that it all stops right here and that they cannot have it all. Relais Villa San Martino ***** offers even more: cooking classes, bicycle rental, a bar with tantalisingly tasty cocktails, a reading corner and, of course, a large glittering swimming pool amongst its list of excellent services. So, you really can have it all…
