La Sommita Relais

Tranquil coastal escape.

Clustered atop a hill above the plains of Puglia’s Adriatic coast, La Sommita Relais is a boutique hotel set in a 16th-century residence. The retreat is an assemblage of white stone buildings ringed by narrow roads and open courtyards, surrounded by miles of olive trees that line the Adriatic Sea.
