ArchitectureEcological wood wool has been used to insulate the hotel's roof and the antique floors have been preserved and restored. All windows have the best energy coefficients and where possible, the old doors have been renovated. The renovation was carried out with local contractors and craftsmen. Most of the furniture was made by local artisans. But also a lot of old furniture has found its place in the hotel. The hotel has also been redecorated with some vintage furniture. The doors and windows that had to be remade to meet energy standards were made on site. Local stones were used where necessary (pietra di lecce, pietra di soleto). The sinks are also locally made and the plants in the hotel are locally sourced and the pots were made by a local artisan.

FoodTafuri Restaurant offers a total gourmet experience. The menu is designed to incorporate local, seasonal produce, some home-grown (such as tomatoes, lettuces, and lettuces) and some organic. Surplus food is donated to the upstream monastery or shared with the employees. The menu includes many vegetarian options and the wine list includes some organic wines, the number of which will grow over time. The philosophy of the restaurant comes from the chef Antonio Capocello, a native of Salento who decided to return to Puglia after a long stay abroad. Homegrown vegetables or fish from the Ionian Sea are just some of the options on the menu. Antonio Capocollo loves to create and serves authentic, sustainable cuisine with a sophisticated French twist. He was even named Chef of the Year 2022 at the Food & Travel Italy Reader Awards.

SocialThe hotel mainly employs people from the region, but there is also the opportunity for people from abroad to do an internship there. Accommodation and training (at home and abroad) as well as discounts on overnight stays and meals are granted to the staff.

EnvironmentThe hotel's hot water is partly produced by solar panels, the pool is partly solar heated, waste is separated and the use of organic products is preferred whenever possible (e.g. vinegar instead of harsh detergents). Domotics were used to control and optimize energy consumption. In addition, the owners had efficient heat pumps and solar water heating installed.
