Ottolire Resort tells the story of an intense relationship with the proper stone of Itria Valley; a stone that has created dry walls, flagstones, even homes like trulli and cummerse.
Ottolire Resort is the story of a family with a strong inclination for the recovery and conservation of stone buildings, typical of Itria Valley.
In 1973, Michele (nicknamed “ottolire”) and Vita, just over eighteen, were literally fascinated by a group of ruined trulli and bought them. With unlimited sacrifices and a lot of work they brought them back to life, taking advantage of the experience of his grandfather and the great-grandfather, both involved in the construction of trulli. Their children, Erasmo and Antonella, grew up here. Fortyfive years later, Erasmo and Antonella along with Anastasia and Angelo, have brought once again this wonderful place back to life.
The resort is embraced by a lush private forest of oaks and Mediterranean plants, in a maze of paths between dry stone walls and trulli of Itria Valley.
The swimming pool surrounded by olive trees and local vines will be the ideal place to spend relaxing days and drink aperitifs with a Mediterranean flavor.
The 19 Suites are the product of the study of shapes and ancient materials, they have been built by the local artisans to make every space modern, unique and welcoming. Each suit has its own characteristics and spaces and is provided with every comfort.
Enjoy the mosaic of flavours that is the Italian cuisine at our restaurant, with typical dishes that reflect the abundance of Apulia’s landscape.
The Chef personally takes care of the vegetable garden, from which he always draws fresh seasonal products. In his kitchen-laboratory he prepares dishes that lead to the discovery of a new culture, but which look with respect to tradition. The panoramic view of the terrace, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, is the ideal location for unforgettable events.
