I have just arrived back from a stay at the Convento di Santa Maria di Costantinopoli in Puglia Southern Italy.
It is truly a magical hideaway and i must admit i am finding it very hard to find the words to describe the beauty of this bed and breakfast which is also a huge understatement. It is owned and run by Alistair and Athena McAlpine and is adorned with their wondorous collections of artefacts from all over the world. Each room nook and cranny is breathtaking....and just to top it off they have a fantastic chef Pierluigi Panico to whom i thank for making these pictures possible.
