Relais Santa Maria

What a wonderful experience. I didn't meet Francisco but Sara was a dream. She picked me up at the train station and brought me to the adorable little apartment on a quiet side street but in the middle of this quiet charming town. Sara gave all the information I needed and brought me breakfast that was so plentiful that it lasted for the next day breakfast and part of lunch. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Martina Franca.

What a wonderful stay in Martina Franca! We read the great reviews about Relais Santa Maria and they were spot on. Just outstanding! The room was charming, well appointed and so beautiful. It captured the warmth and history of the area. And our hosts, Sara and Francesco couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. When we arrived in our rental car, they guided us to a parking spot and insisted on carrying our luggage to the apartment. Once inside, we were greeted with baskets of food, snacks and wine. The mini fridge was filled with drinks. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was large with his and her accommodations. Sara was there the following mornings with a superb breakfast and always greeted us with a big smile. After breakfast, walk around the corner and you are in the center of activity for shopping, dining and attractions. Sara was also in constant communication to make sure we had everything we needed and that all was good. This is one of special place with special owners. Thank you, Sara and Francesco!

Sara and Francesco were amazing hosts from start to finish. Sara escorted us from our car, brought home cooked breakfast each morning (brought whatever we wanted for breakfast). We felt pampered and this was the best stay we have had so far on this trip. I would come here again in a heartbeat!

Francesco and Sara are the best hosts! Breakfast was plentiful and location was perfect. Highly recommended!

A superb stay The room had bundles of character, and was finished to a great standard. The service was also superb with great communication and helpful with parking, booking taxis, giving local recommendations and delivering breakfast in the morning!

Wonderful Hosts and Charming Accommodation We had the most wonderful stay thanks to hosts Francesco and Sara! They both went above and beyond to provide top tier hospitality. Upon arrival they led us to free parking and then arranged for our bags. Sara also brought us a large breakfast spread each morning based on our preferences. The room itself is very unique and charmingly decorated. It is very close walking distance to all of the historic center in Martina Franca. We would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Beautiful and unique room The rooms were made of stones and beautiful. Adorably decorated. Bed was comfortable but linens could be replaced.

This property was a very pleasant surprise for us as it was very unique, very cozy and located in Old Town. The host and hostess were extremely wonderful and made sure that we had everything we needed during our 3 night stay. The breakfasts that they provided were over the top. GPS was a challenge in finding it, but it’s worth the effort. Highly recommended.

Sara and Francesco are amazing hosts. Sara brought breakfast to order every morning. They were very accessible and helpful. The location is fabulous, right in the heart of historic Martina Franco. The space is very comfortable and private, but is in a neighborhood where locals still live.
