B&B Le Stanze di Nonna Cecè (Nonna Cecè's Rooms)

In the heart of Pulsano, in front of the Convent of the Reformed Fathers, a few kilometers from the coast, stands the B&B Le Stanze di Nonna Cecè. Pulsano, also known as Puzànu or Pusànu in the Salento dialect, is an Italian municipality of 11,180 inhabitants in the province of Taranto, Puglia. Although the town is located inland, Pulsano is a coastal municipality, with the territory bathed by the Ionian Sea and overlooking the Gulf of Taranto, characterized by a coastal extension. The landscape is enriched by centuries-old vines and olive trees. The B&B is immersed in an atmosphere of antiquity, where you can admire the lights, real works of art, and the "stricaturo", an ancient tool used to rub dirty clothes with soapy water by hand. In addition, Grottaglie ceramics, which date back to Magna Graecia thanks to the abundant presence of clay, add a touch of authenticity. The property is completely original, offering a unique and historic experience to its guests. The space The structure welcomes you with all the traditions of the past, paying attention to different originalities. The illuminations, real works of art in fir wood, were used in ancient times to decorate the sets of theaters. The "stricaturo", a rectangular wooden floor with horizontal grooves, was used in ancient times to rub dirty clothes by hand with soapy water. The ceramics of Grottaglie, whose origins date back to Magna Graecia, were born thanks to the abundant presence of excellent quality clay in the Apulian territory. The property has 4 rooms, 3 of which are double and one single with bunk beds, each reflecting the Apulian roots. In Greek mythology, the pomegranate was associated with abundance, fertility, and good luck. The Babylonians considered pomegranate seeds a "resurrection agent", while in Persian culture they were believed to help one be invincible on the battlefield. The prickly pear is so important that it embodies the symbol of the country. The rooster, for the Apulians, is a symbol of fertility. Apulian tradition has it that the rooster was introduced as a motif on ceramics by Luigi Motolese, an artist from Grottaglie, who reproduced them in particularly bright colors. The pumo is a scenic fruit whose shape recalls the bud enclosed between four acanthus leaves, a symbol of prosperity and fertility, but also of chastity, immortality and resurrection.
