"Just wanted to pass on what a lovely stay we had at L’Oleandro. It’s such as special place, thoughtfully renovated and in a beautiful area of Puglia. The pizza chef evening was a huge success, a treat for us grown ups and the kids too. Thank you and the rest of Relax Puglia team for helping to make our holiday such a positive one. An extra special thank you to the Halloween fairies that provided decorations, accessories and sweets for the 31st, it was very thoughtful of you!"

The Dolce Vita is from coast to coast; from the Adriatic to the Ionian, between Otranto and Gallipoli. If you wish to discover the key to local artisan excellence, include a stopover in one or more of the hamlets and villages that trip along the coastline, topple on the summits of hilltops or make a splash in to the small bays and lagoons.

Location
The location is semi-rural, situated on a through road from Cisternino (3 kms to town outskirts or a 5-minute drive) to Locorotondo (8 kms or a drive of just over ten minutes), which means the Marinelli Country Farmhouse is highly accessible to the local towns & village facilities.
In the panoramic valley, lies the fascinating white hilltop towns of Alberobello, Cisternino, Locorotondo, Ceglie Messapica and Martina Franca. The charming market town of Cisternino being the nearest to our country house, with a drive of approximately 3kms.
An area ideal and often popoulated by cyclists, walkers and trekkers. There is a 500 km historic and original water system construction brought water to Puglia from Caposele in the early 20th century from the province of Avellino in the Campania district and runs through the Valle d’itria connecting the local towns and equally serves as a natural path to explore, as you wish, through the countryside or the ‘Contrade’ of the Valle d’Itria.
