The Relais Histò San Pietro Sul Mar Piccolo is a 5-star luxury hotel uniquely located in Taranto, nestled in a beautiful rural area overlooking the Mar Piccolo (Little Sea). The property is a fascinating restoration of the ancient Masseria di San Pietro in Mutata, dating back to 1392, a site that was previously a Roman villa and a monastery, featuring a fully preserved 11th-century frescoed Basilica.
The 48 rooms and suites of the Relais blend history with minimalist design, showcasing refined furnishings with accents of natural stone and wood. Many accommodations, such as the Loft Suites or Suites with Terrace, offer a stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a terrace with views of the internal cloister or the sea. Comfort is guaranteed by air conditioning, free WiFi, and a minibar.
The jewel in the hotel's crown is the vast SPA spanning approximately 1750 m², designed to offer an oasis of total relaxation. The wellness area includes ancient Roman baths, sauna, Turkish bath/hammam, and the innovative Mare Secco (Dry Sea). Guests also have access to holistic massages and personalized treatments, as well as a 24-hour gym.
The culinary experience is managed by the Ristorante La Lanternaia, which offers refined Mediterranean cuisine and Apulian specialties, with the option to dine outdoors overlooking the garden or inside the ancient oil mill. The Cantina Histò boasts over 800 labels, with a focus on local wines, and offers the possibility of exclusive tastings. Among other services, the hotel features a seasonal outdoor pool with a poolside bar, electric car charging, babysitting service, and the capability to organize weddings and events in the unique historic Basilica.

His Opinion: Très belle architecture,décoration élégante mais trop systématique, manque de charme.
Chambre très mal placée N°110 au niveau du passage vers l'acces à toutes les autre chambres et de ce fait bruyant d'autant plus que ces chambres sont conçues sans sas d'entrée.
On souhaiterait un accueil plus chaleureux dans ce genre d'établissement, aucune aide pour prendre les bagages à l'arrivée alors que nous étions les seuls à ce moment et le parking assez éloigné.
Trèd bonne cuisine.
