Firstly, if you have ended up in Locorotondo, you have already done something right. If you are staying at 1783 Dimora D’epoca, you have done something extremely right. Staying at 1783, is a true gift. Every detail of the hotel has been carefully curated by owner, Chiara and her daughter. The level of detail does not go unnoticed. From the buttery linen sheets, to the organic, eco-friendly products, to the gorgeous terraces lined with colourful florals. As soon as you check in, you already wish you were staying longer. It is that special of a place. But the decor and details aren’t what make the hotel so incredible, it is the people. Chiara, the owner, was so welcoming and made our experience special by taking such kind interest in our trip - she immediately felt like a good friend. She was always available before we even had to ask! Assisting us with parking and of course, booking amazing dining experiences. We need not forget Rosanna, who was the cherry on top of an already perfect cake. Every morning Rosanna prepared us a breakfast that was worthy of a magazine shoot. Breakfasts with Rosanna were always the highlights of our days. We can now thank her for the little Italian we know!! Thank you Chiara & Rosanna. Be prepared to create truly special memories and moments here. We had come to Puglia for a wedding and left with having had one of the most special travel experiences of our lives at 1783. So much so that just a couple days later we were engaged!! We are already planning our next trip back. Lots of love, Amanda & Chris
