Stay in an authentic palazzo that combines majesty with an intimate, local feel

A one-of-a-kind boutique hotel in Gagliano del Capo, Puglia, Palazzo Daniele is a 15-suite artist guesthouse set in a 163-year-old aristocratic palazzo and former family residence. The hotel’s majestic yet minimalist interiors draw attention to the grandeur of the palazzo’s original frescoes and mosaic flooring, creating a dramatic canvas for the property’s contemporary art collection. Public spaces invite guests to relax, be it by the living room fireplace, in the spa and pool, in an open kitchen that adheres to ancient Salento and Apulian traditions, or with an aperitivo while listening to music in a sprawling courtyard garden of orange trees.
