Ottolire Resort.

Ottolire Resort is a masterclass in the restoration of Apulian heritage, centered around a cluster of traditional trulli and cummerse buildings in the heart of the Itria Valley. The property balances its rustic origins with a sharp, contemporary design language, utilizing iron and antique fabrics to modernize the stone interiors. Outdoors, a pool is tucked into a landscape of ancient olive trees and Mediterranean oaks, while the onsite Trullo SPA offers a Turkish bath and sensory showers within a prehistoric stone footprint. The restaurant takes a similarly local approach, focusing on sustainable ingredients and seasonal pasta techniques. For those looking to do more than lounge, the resort’s private forest serves as a backdrop for yoga and meditation, providing a sense of seclusion that feels deep in the countryside despite its proximity to the region's white-washed hilltop towns.
