Relais Santa Maria in Martina Franca

Relais Santa Maria sits in the historic district of Martina Franca, a five-minute walk from the central piazza and its restaurants. The Ducal Palace, Basilica di San Martino, and Church of Carmine are all within walking distance. Free parking is available a ten-minute walk away, and the hosts meet guests at the car park to carry luggage to the property.

Each room has a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a coffee machine, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, rainfall showerhead, bathrobes, slippers, and luxurious toiletries. Premium bedding, underfloor heating, and soundproof walls are standard, with allergy-free rooms and key card access for security. Some units feature traditional lime-coated stone walls and ceilings, creating a historical ambiance.

A free cooked-to-order breakfast is delivered to the room each morning, with fresh pastries, orange juice, ham, cheese, and local specialties based on guest preferences. Wine or champagne and fresh fruits are also delivered to the room as complimentary welcome items. The property operates a coffee house on site and offers grocery delivery, special diet menus, and a minimarket for additional supplies.

The hosts engage with guests via WhatsApp to ensure all needs are met, from early breakfast delivery to train station pickups.
