Palazzotto di Lucugnano

We as a family (4 adults) stayed 1 month at The Palazzotto of Lucugnano. It’s such a warm nice Italian family house where we felt home from the first minute. It feels like you are really living the Italian life. It is very spacious, comfortable and everybody has its own privacy. It’s located in the center of an authentic village close to many other nice villages and the coast/sea. It’s beautiful to drive around and everywhere you have nice places to eat, relax and have a swim. More over, the owner has been very helpful in giving us advices to explore the area with a lot of good suggestions.

We spent a lovely week in the Palazzotto in August. The house is stunning and every day we discovered something new to marvel at. The pool is a beautiful space which provided us with respite from the heat. We enjoyed discovering the local villages; Specchia for gelato, Tricase for pottery and aperitivos in the old square along with numerous swimming coves (grottos) for snorkelling and swimming. Our favourite grottos were Ciolo and Verte. The local restaurant was great for handmade pasta. Thank you so much to Isabella for sharing her beautiful home with us.

A beautifully restored and thoughtfully decorated house in the centre of a lovely small town within easy reach of the coast (Adriatic and Ionian). The rooms were spacious and cool with lovely furnishings throughout. The large and very well equipped kitchen made it a pleasure to cook the occasional home cooked meals (meatballs supplied by the local butcher!). Plenty of shady areas to sit outside and a wonderful view from the roof terrace to watch the sun set whilst enjoying a glass or two of the excellent local wines. Our host Isabella was very helpful and kept in touch throughout our stay.

Il Palazotto is the epitome of stunning Puglian architecture. The house is stylishly conceived & beautifully furnished, elegant yet comfortable (with every utensil & gadget) Our family wandered early mornings through local towns then hung out by the pool in the heat of the afternoon and it was completely perfect. Isabella communicated quickly and was very helpful accommodating our change of dates. She was always at the end of the phone to text or call to answer any questions we had. I cannot convey how magical this property actually is; you would need to go there yourself to find out….

Such a beautiful house ! Very thoughtfully and stylishly decorated throughout with lots of lovely relaxing spaces. The kitchen is particularly well equipped and perfect for those that like cooking and entertaining for larger groups. The outdoor space and pool are also excellent - a special thank you to Isabella and Maria-Grazia for getting this ready for our visit even though off season. Lucugnano is very relaxed with a great little supermarket, bakery and butcher. A great base to explore the rest of the Salento region. Thank you again for hosting my family and I. We all had a lovely time!
