tma Adds One of the Hottest New Hotels in the World to Its Portfolio
DALLAS, TX, July 12, 2005. Named by Cond'e Nast Traveler magazine as one of the hottest "to die for" hotels for 2005 in its recent May issue, the Relais Villa San Martino expands its marketing efforts in North America with a local representative: tma - target market america.
And the awards are adding up. Since it opened one year ago, various leading travel experts have recognized the hotel. In September, 2004 Travel + Leisure voted the Relais Villa San Martino one of the "25 Best New Hotels in Italy". To exemplify the hotel's elite clientele, the award was for "HOTEL PARKING LOT" thanks to their guarded area for Ferraris only.
What sets this hotel apart is the vision behind its creation and the dedication to an extraordinary experience during every visit. A year-round destination, Relais Villa San Martino offers 18 rooms and 5 suites within a pink and white villa near the medieval town of Martina Franca in Puglia* near Taranto, in the deep south of Italy. Silks and damasks in the tradition of the Bourbon kings envelope you while you enjoy the views, whether it be of a flat-screen TV or the garden from your balcony or terrace. A double room starts at $230.
