B&B Antica Aia

About this hotel

“B&B Antica Aia” is a real gem nestled in the beautiful setting of the Itria Valley, an area of Puglia famous for its natural beauty, historic villages and traditional trullo dwellings. This structure, an ancient trulli farmhouse dating back to the late 1800s, is a perfect example of Apulian rural architecture, a place where the past blends harmoniously with the present. Completely renovated with extreme care and respect for the original stone features, the B&B presents itself as a welcoming retreat that invites you to experience the true spirit of Puglia.

L’Antica Aia is located on a knoll overlooking Cisternino, one of the most enchanting villages in the Itria Valley. This village is famous for its narrow, winding alleys, white houses and detailed stone decorations, which together create a magical atmosphere. The strategic location of the masseria allows for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, where centuries-old olive trees and vineyards stretch to the horizon. The colors of nature change with the seasons, giving the visitor an ever-changing landscape, a wonderful spectacle that can be admired directly from the structure’s terrace.

The Antica Aia B&B is ideal for all types of guests: families, couples and anyone who wants to spend a vacation in peace and nature. Families will find a safe and spacious space here, perfect for children to play outside, explore the surroundings and breathe fresh air. Adults, on the other hand, can take advantage of the peace and quiet to relax, perhaps taking long walks in the surrounding woods or savoring a good book in the farm’s garden.

The B&B rooms are tastefully furnished, mixing traditional and modern elements in a combination that makes each room unique and comfortable. Each room is equipped with all the necessary comforts for a pleasant stay: from free Wi-Fi to air conditioning, not to mention impeccable private bathrooms with all the amenities. The stone finishes and rustic details of the exposed beams create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for escaping the stresses of everyday life.

One of the highlights of Antica Aia is undoubtedly breakfast, served in the lovely common room or outside under the pergola on fine days. Guests can enjoy fresh, local produce, seasonal fruits, homemade pastries and typical local delicacies prepared with high-quality ingredients. This time of day is an authentic celebration of Apulian flavors and an opportunity to share experiences and conversations with other guests.

The masseria’s location is an added advantage, as it makes it easy to explore the wonderful surroundings. Within a few kilometers are must-see destinations such as Alberobello, famous for its trulli declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Polignano a Mare, with its spectacular cliffs and crystal clear sea. In addition, the sea is a short drive away, making it possible to spend a day sunbathing and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic coast.

For lovers of nature and outdoor activities, the Itria Valley offers numerous hiking and biking trails, allowing guests to discover breathtaking landscapes and get up close to the local flora and fauna. Guests can also indulge in visits to wineries, to discover Puglia’s famous wines, and farms, to learn more about the production of typical products such as olive oil and cheese.

B&B Antica Aia is not just a place to stay overnight, but an immersive experience in the heart of Puglia. It is a refuge blessed by history, an open door to a land rich in cultures and traditions.
