A small Palace in Puglia

9.0

Lovely accommodation, with friendly and helpful staff. The room is spacious and well equipped. The hotel alos offers a lot of services from massages to bike rentals. The Italian breakfast was simple with everything you need to start your day! Sonia made a good cappuccino.

Felt like family staying here!

10.0

Not sure why this beautiful place is only 3 stars as the hospitality we got from Sonia & Emmanuel made us feel like family rather than paying guests and was 5 star service. The 17th Century building is such an amazing place with unique features and comfort. You simply must also dine at the Restaurant also run by the hosts as the food was exceptional. We highly recommend a stay with Sonia & Emmanuel.

There was nothing to dislike, Beautiful building and very well laid out. Eating breakfast each morning in the courtyard was so lovely too.

Fantastico!

10.0

Tutto perfetto dal pernottamento alla colazione. I gestori sono gentilissimi e disponibilissimi!

L'unica cosa che posso consigliare è di indicare con maggiore precisione la posizione del luogo poiché con google maps abbiamo avuto qualche problema.

Great overnight stop in an amazing building with friendly hosts.

We loved the individuality of the rooms. Emmanuelle and Sonia were extremely helpful and friendly. The dining room was beautiful

The dinner was wonderful but a little oversalted.

Prima locatie

9.0

Je verblijft in een oud gerenoveerd "Palazzio". Er is ook een restaurant, niet het goedkoopste, maar wel heel goed. Persoonlijk vind ik de kamer wel aan de prijs dan wisten we van tevoren.

De douche is krap.
