CECILÉ IN COLLABORATION WITH VERVE’S AESTHETIC SOUL PHOTOGRAPHERS
MICHAEL ZENNARIO
CECILIA LUKASZEWSKY
This issue of VERVE was curated, written, and photographed through lived experiences, personal vision, and deep gratitude.
Every detail, every story, and every moment shared here reflects my journey as a creative, a host, a traveler, and someone who believes beauty has the power to change the way we see the world.
To every place that welcomed me, and every person who shared a moment of truth, grace, or joy thank you.
RELAIS HISTÓ

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL
Tucked into the ancient landscape just outside Taranto, surrounded by olive trees and whispers of time,
feels less like a hotel and more like a return
Relais Histó
T i m e l e s s G r o u n d e d & R e m a r k a b l e
During our stay, Giovanni shared the history of the place not as a script, but through memories — weaving past and present into a living story that invites you to slow down, look inward, and feel the land with all five senses. There’s something intangible here: a peace, a clarity, a moment of stillness we often forget to seek.
Relais Histó may be carved in ancient stone, but its future is clearly shaped by this young, charismatic visionary. And in Giovanni’s hands, the spirit of Italian hospitality doesn’t just endure — it flourishes.

The Ritual of Reconnection: Spa Flow at Relais Histó
At Relais Histó, the spa is not just a service it’s a ceremony. A thoughtfully guided journey through ancient wellness traditions designed to awaken clarity and balance Guests are invited to follow a curated flow: beginning with purifying steam, then slowing through the calm of warm water immersion, the invigorating pressure of hydro jets, the healing quiet of the salt cave, and the deep thermal release of hot pools
Each space is meant to be savored with intention, not urgency. The experience ends in complete stillness: a therapeutic massage or a tea ritual in silence, where the body settles and the mind aligns.
This isn’t indulgence This is strategic renewal for those who lead, decide, and carry weight far beyond the office.

The Gastronomic Soul of Puglia
At Relais Histó, food is not a menu. It’s a message!
Crafted from the soil and sea of southern Italy, each dish reconnects guests to place and purpose.
Corporate retreats often overlook the simple power of a shared table but here, fresh orecchiette, hand-pressed olive oil, wild herbs, and local wines bring colleagues together in authentic communion.
No performance No overproduction Just deep, nourishing meals that celebrate origin and intention.
It’s not about luxury in excess it’s about elegance in essence
The Lantern, Mediterranean essence meets Apulian soul in a symphony of flavor.
Each dish honors tradition while daring to reinterpret it vibrant, elegant, and plated with personality From handpicked local ingredients to creative culinary twists, dining here isn’t just a meal. It’s a memory in the making
“For
Leaders in Motion, professional transport” Punctual.
From arrival to departure, every movement matters and with our trusted transportation partners, discretion meets distinction Whether transferring executives from the airport, escorting VIPs to vineyards, or organizing seamless routes between venues, each journey is managed by a team known for its punctuality, professionalism, and polished service.
Vehicles are impeccably maintained, drivers are multilingual and trained in elite hospitality, and schedules adapt to your pace not the other way around. This is not just a transfer. It’s a continuation of the luxury experience one that begins the moment the door opens.
Let’s keep Celebrating!
