Convento di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli

The Convento di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli is not a hotel in the traditional sense, but rather a retreat for lovers of history, art, and the British bohemian spirit. Hidden away in the Apulian hinterland, this former monastery with its winding corridors, patinated walls, and artfully assembled antiques tells stories from another time. Each room feels like a small chamber of wonders – charming, inspiring, but also slightly eccentric. Those looking for design, spa facilities, and high-end comfort will likely be disappointed here. Things creak, there are drafts, and some things don’t quite work. But that’s exactly what makes it so appealing. It’s a place for individualists who don’t need perfection – because they’re looking for something special.
