In the heart of the medieval village of Bitetto, just a short stroll from the Cathedral, lies Palazzo Rizzi, a residence steeped in history and charm.

The rooms house original architectural features and period details that narrate the past, providing an authentic experience for those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture. Nicola, a sea enthusiast and a deep connoisseur of Puglia, is dedicated to taking care of the guests. Together with his family, he has unveiled the beauty of this building, rescuing it from decay and returning it to the community. His hospitality is characterized by a subtle presence, genuine advice, and attentiveness to the needs of those who choose to stay in this timeless place. Bitetto is a quaint and quiet village, ideal for discovering the slow pace of authentic Puglia. Its narrow streets are home to small restaurants serving traditional dishes, while the surrounding area offers routes of great interest.
