Palmento Giorgio Suite is one of the two homes created in the farmhouse that Giorgio Palmisano, a farmer, built in 1935 between Locorotondo and Martina Franca, where wine was once made. It covers 100 m² on the ground floor, with the bedroom on a mezzanine and a terrace all of its own, and sleeps up to 4.

You step into a large open-plan space under a stone barrel vault, lit by an arched glass door that opens onto the terrace. There's the living area, with sofa, armchair and a TV on a masonry shelf between stone niches, then the dining area and the kitchen with its island. The kitchen has an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge and coffee machine. On the walls hang botanical plates from the herbal manual Giorgio wrote by hand.

An indoor staircase leads up to the mezzanine and the double bedroom: the bed sits under stone cross vaults, the floor is wooden and a glass balustrade looks down on the living area. A few steps below the living area, in a stone alcove with small niches and a little window, there's a single bed that converts into a double: ideal for one or two children. The bathroom, the largest in the house, has a shower and the washing machine.

Every room has independent air conditioning and heating. There's high-speed Wi-Fi, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer, towels and bed linen.

The side terrace is yours alone: paved in stone, with a lounge set shaded by an umbrella and a table for four, among yuccas and looking out over the orchard. In front is the large white gravel courtyard with ancient olive trees and a walnut tree, closed by a gate: this is where you park for free and charge your electric car. In the small stone building next to the courtyard are the wood-fired oven where Giorgio's wife baked bread and a masonry grill, which you're welcome to use. The roof terrace is not accessible.

The Suite, its bathroom and the side terrace are for your exclusive use, with a separate entrance. The courtyard, parking and oven house are shared with the other home in the house, the Apartment, which may be occupied by other guests. If you'd like the whole house to yourselves, you can book Palmento Giorgio in full, for up to 10 people.

We welcome you in person on arrival, show you the Suite and hand over the keys. Throughout your stay you can reach us by phone and on WhatsApp, for anything you need and for tips on masserie, wineries, beaches and villages.

The house is on Via Pastore, in the countryside of Martina Franca, about 3 km from Locorotondo, in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, among vineyards, trulli and dry-stone walls. Locorotondo is about 5 minutes' drive away, Martina Franca 10, Alberobello and Cisternino 20. The beaches of Torre Canne and Savelletri are about 30 minutes away, Monopoli and Ostuni about 35.

You'll need a car: the house is in the countryside. Private parking is free, inside the gated courtyard. Estimated distances:
Locorotondo railway station about 3 km;
Martina Franca emergency department about 5 km;
Brindisi and Bari airports about an hour away.
