The Experience

Much of your time will be spent on the terrace with its exotic Mediterranean vibe and lovely views over Matino with the sea stretching out into the distance. Sunsets from here will be sublime, especially with a cool glass of prosecco in your hand – bottle provided along with a few treats. With only four bedrooms (two suites and two standard doubles) the whole place feels hushed. Bathrooms are en suite and scented with lovely soaps and lotions.

The feel indoors is minimal and calm, with furniture, lamps and mirrors created by a local artist called Massimo Maci. The living spaces are filled with natural light and one features a beautiful cross-vaulted ceiling. Check out the honesty bar and settle in with a good book, or listen to the radio.

You’re just steps away from the main square and there is a good restaurant, Morusanza. Lovely to spend time wandering the little alleys and admiring the whitewashed houses.

Reviews

An authentic place to unwind from a busy life and embrace the local slow pace of living, in a small town that still remains off the main tourist trail. The rooftop is arguably the highlight of the palazzo – a beautiful spot to take in the sunset. Caroline will give you the warmest welcome and share her best recommendations on what to see and do in the area.

Location

The neighbourhood

It's an exceptionally peaceful town, and at siesta time you wouldn't know there was anybody there at all. There are a few restaurants and bars, but if you want more action you can head to Gallipoli, 'the pearl of Salento'. Here you'll find history, mainly about the first world war (and a young Churchill) but also a choice of beautiful beaches, clubs, bars and many restaurants.
