About the Retreat Centre
Santa Maria del Sole is a 15 hectare property situated in the heart of ItriaValley, in the Martina Franca countryside.
Surrounded by forestand olive groves, the Retreat Center is located on a lush green hillock. There is a beautiful yoga room in the main farmhouse as well as a covered yoga platform in the woods with gorgeous views.
The main building is a romantic 16th century farm-house built in the typical old Apulian style. The farmhouse has been elegantly restored and is furnished with everything needed for a comfortable relaxing retreat experience. There is a large kitchen with a big patio for lunch and dinner as well as an inside dining room with fireplace and long wooden table for communal meals.
Accommodation is either in the farmhouse or in traditional apulian trulli-rooms which are furnished in an elegant eastern style. Each room has it’s own private bathroom. The trullis stay cool in the hotter summer months.
Surrounding Countryside and Beaches
Itria Valley is composed of the ancient towns of Martina Franca, Ostuni Cisternino, Ceglie and Alberobello. All of them are located on hill tops and are enveloped in a magic atmosphere that is reminiscent of Greece.
The peaceful location is ideal for those who are searching for a holiday rich in culture, and spirituality.
Martina Franca is close to both the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, both with wonderful beaches and rock formations.
