We have now left our stunning old sumptuous room at The Historical Suites in Lecce and picked up a little car again and this time for the next 23 days.
We are driving today 380km north up the Adriatic coastline to the small art deco seaside town of Rodi Garganica where we will be staying up a steep hill at the Rodi Resort
for the next 3 nights.
The town of Rodi Garganica in the distance with all the sailing boats moored at the old marina.
That will be a very early morning walk to explore
(in the cool as it is stinking hot and humid right now)
but first I will have to drive the car to the bottom of the hill as the hill to get here is soooooooo italian steep, narrow and rough! That said it also gives us great views from our balcony over the Adriatic Sea.
Our room is coastal chic and very minimalistic.
It’s all so bright white that my sunnies are even struggling to cope with the glare.
With a great walk in pool purched high up again with stunning views over the Adriatic Sea.
By night time the air starts to cool and the glare is gone as the sun sets.
They have a great restaurant and the chef used to work for Massimo Bottura at Osteria Francescana.
If you take your memories way back to two previous Italian trips where first we dined at Massimo Osteria in Modena northern Italy and later we did a cooking class with Massimo at the slow food convention in Bra.
So as you can imagine with that training his the flavours where on point and the plating was fun.
Lobster Dumplings with teriyaki sauce and a citrus jelly.
Buona notte 💚💜
