Arco Barberio Bed & Breakfast Castellana Grotte - Puglia

Located in an old palazzo, in the heart of the historic center of Castellana Grotte, B&B Arco Barberio is a great choice for travelers looking for a stylish urban retreat, within minutes of the spectacular caves for which this Southern Italian town is famous. Brainchild of the owner and architect Marco Matarrase, Arco Barberio is a perfect example of just how brilliant contemporary interiors can look within the traditional stone dwellings of Puglia.

Designed to provide a versatile and functional "open space" in which to chill, and yet equally suitable as a venue in which to entertain friends or host a business meeting, Arco Barberio is an ultra modern home-from-home, made all the more appealing by the deliberate conservation of traditional architectural features such as the arched doorframes in exposed stone. The "Campanile" (named after the bell tower visible from the terrace) is a 45sqm, split-level suite, comprised of a large living room-cum-dining area, a small library, office corner and bedrooms. The two floors are united by way of a stunning spiral staircase.

B&B Arco Barberio's "Campanile Suite", comfortably accommodates up to five guests, making it the perfect choice for a family or a group of friends looking for a glamorous and fully accessorized base from where to explore this part of Puglia. Castellana Grotte is, in fact, within easy driving distance of Alberobello, famous for its beehive shaped "trulli", and many gorgeous beaches.
