In the heart of the pulsating Apulian countryside, surrounded by ancient olive groves, the scent of Mediterranean scrub, and the golden light that only this land can offer, stands La Lamia di Rodry—a beautifully restored rural dwelling, now transformed into an enchanting retreat for travelers seeking beauty, intimacy, and authenticity. This splendid lamia, entirely built from local stone, is an architectural gem that preserves all the charm of tradition, enriched with modern comforts and elegant details designed to offer a unique and unforgettable experience.

The interior unfolds into a single, welcoming, and harmonious open space, where every detail tells an ancient story, reinterpreted with taste and refinement. The bright and airy living area includes a fully equipped kitchen in a rustic-contemporary style—perfect for preparing simple dishes with local ingredients—an intimate dining space, and a comfortable sofa ideal for relaxing, reading, or quiet conversation.

At the heart of the space lies a graceful double bed, adorned with soft white curtains that drift gently in the breeze, creating an atmosphere of peace and lightness. The exposed stone walls, hand-worked and alive with texture, give the room an authentic and soulful character, blending seamlessly with the neutral tones of the furnishings and carefully selected finishes. Completing the lamia is a refined, intimate bathroom, equipped with a shower, modern amenities, and details that echo the essence of Apulia.

Outside, La Lamia di Rodry offers a charming private patio, a place to be embraced by the silence and colors of nature. Here, an outdoor dining area invites guests to enjoy leisurely breakfasts or romantic dinners under a starlit sky, while the fragrance of the countryside mixes with the scent of dew-covered earth or the glowing embers of a barbecue in the dedicated grill area.

The true gem of the outdoor space is the private pool for two—an intimate, serene corner, perfect for moments of total relaxation. Picture yourself immersed in the cool water, a glass of local wine in hand, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and amber. Surrounded by natural stone and lush greenery, the pool is ideal for cooling off on warm summer days or simply basking in the tranquility of the countryside.
