Relais Santa Maria

We got no real sense of how big or small RSM is...we rang the hotel when we reached somewhere near the centre of Martina Franca. They drove out to meet us, and guided us to a parking spot just outside the Centro Storico (which is completely pedestrianised). We then followed them and our luggage for 5 minutes through a maze of streets until we reached our room. I hasten to add, all of this was explained to us before we arrived! The individual rooms are scattered over several buildings, so I have no idea where (or even if!) there is an actual hotel building, or whether this is a 'virtual' hotel. All we ever saw was our room - which was very nice and homely (in a slightly 'kitsch' way), and less than a minute away from the main drag. Staff took our breakfast order each day, and it was delivered to our door each morning. We were offered plenty of choice (including gorgeous fresh croissants with pistacchio or chocolate cream), and the quantities were definitely generous (to the extent that on the first morning we weren't sure whether the food they delivered was meant to last us all 3 days - it wasn't!). The room included a fridge, and a coffee machine, with a plentiful supply of coffee pods.

We did expect a hotel but this was a small delightful room with an ensuite and all the facilities you could wish for. You need to get guidance on parking and they really are superbly helpful with everything. Breakfast is novel and brought to the room. If you can go on a Sunday for the promenade in the city, just fabulously located. Just don't anticipate a hotel so if you want drinks i the room I would take your own. The square is near though

The place is adorable, clean & comfortable. The hosts were incredibly accomodating & took care of every request or need with ease & a smile. Will definitely be back again!

What an amazing room and location. A great place to stay in Martina Franca. Highly recommend.

A fantastic charming stay in a charming town. Outstanding and forthcoming hospitality. Our highest recommendation.

Hospitality at its best in this B and B. We were met at the bus stop by Francesco, Sara, and Daniela who wanted to make sure that we got to their B&B okay. They are very friendly, helpful, and eager to please. The room had a king size bed and very whimsical decorations and a bathroom with two wash basins and a large shower. Each morning during our four day stay, Sara brought breakfast usually consisting of orange juice, croissants, eggs, and cappuccino coffee. We could have asked for yogurt and meat also. They cleaned the room and supplied it with fresh towels each day. The B&B was located in a walkway in the historical center of town. If you stay at this location, you will be hearing church bells ringing often.

It was absolutely amazing! Our hosts were so wonderful we truly hope they come visit us in the States. They even surprised us with Proseco when they discovered it was our anniversary. The room is very charming & well located. Each morning they brought us a delicious breakfast to our room & checked the day before to ask what we preferred & timing. I can’t say enough positive about our lovely visit! Hopefully we will return again soon!

Hosts were fantastic, location was walkable to all attractions and dining. Apartment is beautiful.

Amazing, impeccable cleanliness, staff that goes well beyond expectations, outstanding location. This accommodation made our stay, and we would recommend it without hesitation.
