ospitalita — Casalnuovo Monterotaro · Puglia
In the Monti Dauni, where an ancient tratturo (drover's trail) still marks the boundary between road and wilderness, a stone-built guesthouse looks out over the Fortore valley. The name is no idle promise: it describes exactly what one finds here.
At the edge of the Regio Tratturo Celano-Foggia (a royal drovers' road), where the Monti Dauni slope down toward the Fortore, the window of every room frames a valley that shifts colour with the hours. It is no ordinary view: it is the landscape that drew here those in search of true silence, away from Puglia's more travelled routes.
Outside, the garden with its tables and chairs invites you to linger. Rosi and Antonio run the property with a care that cannot be delegated: every guest is welcomed as one welcomes family, and the views over the Monti Dauni become the natural backdrop to a stay that tends to run longer than planned.
The five rooms, fully renovated in 2012 with exposed stone and a timber roof, pair modern furnishings with an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. In the morning, breakfast is included and brings to the table muffins and cakes made by the owner herself — a simple gesture that guest reviews always mention first.
This page tells the story of the rooms, the services, and how to reach L'Oasi di Rosi in Casalnuovo Monterotaro, in the heart of the Monti Dauni.
