Once a traditional farming estate- Naturalis Bio Resort and Spa is a sanctuary in the hills of Southern Italy. Produce is still grown organically in its fields- supplying ingredients for the kitchen and bathing the hotel with uplifting scents of lavender- lemon and thyme. Lofty rooms in modern Italian style are cooled from the heat of the sun by wooden shutters and the canopy of vines. The Tower of the Stars is a fairytale suite set over three floors with unparalleled sights- from the 17th century astronomical chart on the ceiling to the panoramic views beyond the window. Relax in the shade of the pergola- stretch out with a garden yoga session- cool off in the saltwater pool- sooth your body with treatments in 4 Elements Private Spa- or enjoy a glass of wine from the Naturalis estate. Talented chefs keep you fuelled daylong with impressive dishes that celebrate the rich flavours and proud gastronomic heritage of the region. Beyond the walls there is much to explore- from the elegant town of Lecce to the unspoilt and unrivalled coves of the Puglian coastline. Naturalis Bio Resort and Spa is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
