Have you always wanted to immerse yourself in the life of an Italian village? Then Albergo Diffuso is definitely the right choice. The individual accommodations are scattered over the picturesque old town of Locorotondo.

The idea for a "fragmented" hotel comes from Angelo Sista and his wife Teresa Salero, who were born here and are still fascinated by the smells, colors and tastes of this special village. They also wanted to bring the beauties of their homeland closer to tourists - but without building a new, perhaps unsuitable building in the village. Instead, they decided to use vacancies in the village as accommodation.

The result is four lavishly renovated and tastefully furnished apartments that combine the cosiness of your own home with the amenities of a hotel. A classic win-win situation: the local population benefits from the fact that the historic old town is preserved and can come into contact with the visitors, quite differently than would be the case with a closed hotel complex.

The breakfast, which can be brought on request, is enjoyed together with a fantastic view of the Valle d"Itria, a landscape that is characterized by olive groves and which, together with the red soil on which they grow, spread a very special fragrance and enchant with unique color contrasts.

Thanks to the excellent location in the heart of Locorotondo, guests of the Albergo Diffuso enjoy an authentic Italian atmosphere, can easily get into conversation with the neighbors and have a stunning view of the charming old town with its narrow streets and the "Le Cummerse", the roofs typical of Puglia. And the sea - or rather the seas - is very close: both the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea are only a few minutes away by car.
