Centro di Spiritualità Madonna della Nova

One of my favorite stays during my Mediterranean trip! Daniela, the host of this former convent turned inn, was incredibly friendly, kind, and hospitable. I told her I took the overnight ferry and she hurried to get my room ready before check in, since she was worried how tired I was! The room was so clean, spacious, and cold (which I appreciated in the August heat!). The inn also has a lovely complementary breakfast of fruits, yogurt, meats, and homemade pastries (the apple cake and pasticciotto you must grab if they are on the buffet!). Daniela will also make you an espresso drink of your choosing :) it is a 15 minute walk to the center, but it felt like a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of peak season Puglia. If you are looking for a budget friendly option in the area, don’t hesitate to book it!

We had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed our stay. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. The location is wonderful and very central. Parking is very easy. Don Franco and Daniela were our main hosts, and they took very good care of us. This is a special place. We ate very well, and it felt like home. We truly love it here.

The best: the breakfast and attention. They were always welcoming and asking if I wanted more food or not. You cam basically take whatever you want from the table they have with a lot of food like cookies and fruits. Also coffee is available all the time if you ask for it. The room I got was pretty new and confortable. The garden can be improved. I will definitely stay here again. There were some singing noises but just until 11pm.
