This gorgeous property is located on a quiet street and felt very authentic. The apartment I rented was incredible. With a huge terrace to relax on, a fully equipped kitchen and a ton of space.... I am counting the days until I have the chance to return to Nardo and stay here again. There are no words to describe how stunningly gorgeous the common spaces are, and I am so thankful I got to stay here. The breakfast was perfect and the staff were super responsive and helpful.

The only thing I didn't like, was that I only booked 3 days here. I want to go back for 3 months! I could not fault anything to do with the Relais Monastero Santa Teresa- it was perfect.

We were already excited about our impending stay in Nardo and then the day before our arrival we were contacted by the lovely receptionist offering us a free upgrade. Our excitement heightened. The whole experience was wonderful, we walked into the magical courtyard with its beautiful fountain filled with colourful fish and flanked with giant potted palms we were then welcomed by the friendliest of staff. After checking in and arranging secure parking a stones throw from our room ( a huge bonus!) we were led through a door within a door and through another enchanting courtyard to our accommodation. Well, what can I say!!! We were truly blown away! Modern Roman chic might describe the decor. A blend of ancient grandeur and contemporary design. An interior designers dream. Every modern need considered and cleverly concealed so as not to spoil the flawless space. Possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in filled one side of the room and a fabulous sitting room the other. But wait, I haven't mentioned the bathroom! A small flight of stone steps leads you to this incredible space, the room is vast with the most beautiful stone ceiling but the show stopper is without doubt the huge round bath which dominates the centre of the room, pass me my toga! Everything about the suite is elegant and tasteful, adorned with a perfect combination of vintage and modern furniture, understated yet a feast for the eyes! In addition to all this fabulousness throw in a private garden filled with fragrant flowers, lime trees, majestic palms and a swimming pool. I cannot recommend this experience enough!

The palazzo is situated in the historic centre, yet it’s easy to park nearby. The building itself is amazing, especially the interior design. We had a huge room with a lovely balcony overlooking the town. The receptionist was super kind, she introduced us the brief history of the monastery, recommended cafes and restaurants and also made sure to preheat our room since we were traveling with a baby.

No breakfast option in March - but there are several lovely cafes nearby. Also, we had to pay a little bit of extra fee for the crib, which would have been fine, but it was a little bit strange that it depended on the room type wether the baby crib was free of charge or not.

The staff and the design of the buildings’ architecture (wow) and again the staff, all very helpful and kind! The buildigs are located at the border of the restricted old city (no cars) therefore easy to reach without walking too far.

If you book you do not know in which building you will be located. (I knew it because I called before checking in) While breakfast is located in the main building only- in the other buildings are more a b&b feeling instead a hôtel. But buildings are all in the same area, you just walk a couple of minutes.

This property was absolutely heavenly. The pool option was well worth the money, and only shared with 1 other apartment (if it’s booked). This is the perfect place to stay, relax, enjoy and explore southern Italy. Our only regret was we didn’t book in here long enough. Next time we certainly will! Great staff. Best place we’ve stayed in Italy.

Nothing!

This is an absolutely amazing property. The staff was really friendly and the room was very spacious too. The location is very central and great to explore this region. The room was absolutely clean and the property had amazing common areas too.

The only improvement I could recommend is just adding a few more items in the breakfast. But apart from that the stay was impeccable!

The conversion from a monastery made this a very beautiful and unique property. The room and facilities were very clean and well presented. We throughly enjoyed the semi-private pool. The property is located minutes walk from the piazza and was a central base to explore the Salento region. The staff were very kind and helpful! A perfect stay and highly recommended from anyone travelling through Puglia!

Stunning historical property with a beautifully appointed room in a simple yet elegant style which suits the origin of the building as a nunnery & later a palazzo. The old town of Nardo is a real gem and well worth a visit.

At the time no elevator ( was being built) it was hard work carrying suitcases up the stairs as older guests.

The hotel provides one of the best breakfasts that I have ever experienced with a wide variety of local specialities in addition to breakfast standards. The breakfast staff could not have been kinder and responsive with smiles. Brava to all! The rooms are spacious, quiet and immaculate. The location is central and easy to approach.

We surely missed an elevator as all rooms are on an upper floor with LOTS of steps. This property is not ideal for anyone with physical handicaps. Also, due to the sporadic staff hours at the front desk, there was often no one available to answer questions or help with carrying suitcases up or down those steps.

The hotel is in a beautiful town which was lovely and quiet in the off season but still had plenty of great places to eat. Our room was stunning with access to the lovely pool. Breakfast was varied and delicious and service from the staff was really attentive.

It rained while we were there so didn’t end up using the pool but there’s not much that can be done to prevent that.
