Surrounded by a natural park, with gardens full of flowers, a rose pergola, ecological paths and open air theatre set in a lemon grove, The Relais Villa San Martino is located in Martina Franca, 431 meters above sea level, a small town which stretches on the top of a hill among swift and fertile hills which bound the Valley of Itria, the fabulous valley of the "trulli". Towering over the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, between the state road n. 172 which joins Taranto to Fasano, and the road n. 16, Martina Franca is a popular summer destination for tourists and holiday-makers thanks to its fresh and salubrious air, to the extraordinary beauty of its landscape and to the artistic interest of the buildings and the whole town. |
