Pietra Dorata

Close to the ‘gastronomic capital’ of Puglia, Ceglie Messapica (2.5km), Pietra Dorata sits within spacious grounds, surrounded by a beautiful terrace created from the warm hued local stone, conducive to those all-important holiday pastimes of relaxing, sunbathing, and alfresco dining overlooking the fabulous pool.  

The owners have thoughtfully built a great barbecue and wood oven to one side, close to the shaded covered area with its typical vaulted ceiling. More vaulted ceilings can be found in the kitchen diner and one of the bedrooms, creating bright and airy rooms. The style changes as you walk through the first bedroom into the second bedroom in the trullo, where the golden stone work can be seen in all its glory. This bedroom can also be accessed externally, ideal for those seeking an early morning swim.

Nearby Ceglie Messpica, with its reputation as a gastronomic centre, has excellent restaurants showcasing the local produce and seasonal dishes, not forgetting the regional wines. Or follow the road to Cisternino to try the famous ‘bombette’ from the local butchers.  After indulging in the food and wine of the region, why not hire bikes to explore the famously scenic countryside and the hilltop towns? Or head to the coast for walks through the Torre Guaceto nature reserve, sea kayaking or swimming in the dazzling blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
