Transport back in time by staying here 🌟
This beautiful bed and breakfast located in the small town of Bitonto is called the Palazzo Antica Via Appia. The owner is an antique collector and so the place is beautifully decorated with antiques alongside wonderfully restored rooms with antique elements including a painted ceiling. It almost feels like you’re staying in a museum. Housed in a 19th century building and built on the ruins of the Appia Way, you can’t help but being transported back in time when staying here. The rooms were clean and have that Old World luxurious feeling. Our room is called Conte Gentile. Bonus points? It is also very well-connected to the Bari Airport, so do drop by either at the end or the beginning of your Puglia adventure! #passionpassport #puglia #italianarchitecture
The oldest parfumerie in the world - Florence
The Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella can trace its roots back to the Florence of 1221. In that year, Dominican friars founded the convent of Santa Maria Novella, and began to cultivate - among other things - a vegetable garden. From that same garden, many centuries of experience in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations began to develop. And in later years that experience would expand to include the worlds of cosmetics, fragrances and wellness products.
When, in 1533, a very young Catherine de Medici left Florence to marry the future king of France, among the pages, guards and ladies of her entourage, she also asked for a perfumer. His name was Renato Bianco, and in Paris he became René le Florentin: and so from the ancient wisdom of the essence-makers of Florence, the noble art of perfume spread throughout the world.
Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, or Acqua della Regina (the "Queen's Water"), the oldest fragrance of the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella it's an homage to the gift of love that Caterina brought to France.
