Prenota RELAIS SANT'ELIGIO

An ancient building constructed by the Aragonites, when queen Bona Sforza, in the first half of ‘500 imposed to all the coasting cities, from Naples to Otranto, to hold the Posta. And along the “Via del Procaccia”, street for the rapid flow that encompassed from the outside the walls of Ostuni, was erected CAMPOSADA », post station destined to the reception and rest of couriers, royal officials, tax collectors, passing soldiers. It maintained the function when it became the property of the Zevallos counts from 1630 to 1810 and afterwards to the community of Ostuni. The crest that characterises the portal and the indoor chambers and represents two climbing lions next to a pit with pulley and bucket, symbolises the peace.

An ancient inscription, consummated by time, said QUISQUIS HUC VENIT, HUC REDIET (who comes here, will return).

Sant’Eligio, the Saint protector of ferriers and goldsmiths, was the name given in time by the people.
After a century of abandonment, the post stations returns to live in a RELAIS that is the cherry on the cake of the receptivity of Ostuni. Collocated at the feet of the historic centre, in the shadow of the antique defence walls, it is embraced by the magic whiteness of the ancient town, by the silvery green of one million and a half olive trees, the most ancient of the Mediterranean, by the blue of the sky and de sea and by the splendour of the light of Apulia. The ancient arches in the hall and the restaurant show the structural recovery. An internal court, two spots to spend relaxing moments and a panoramic terrace that leads your eyes to the clear sea, that offer to the guests an exceptional receipt in a unique environment.

The rooms: 22 rooms, provided of mini bar, air-conditioning, safe, satellite TV, telephone, internet, assure all the modern comfort, with furniture that preserves the integrity of the ancient structure.

The restaurant: L’HOSTARIA ANTICA POSADA, returns to welcome and give rest in a room of that century, with gastronomy, rich of flavours and colours in a continuous discovery of exquisite dishes.
