Palazzo Daniele, a Member of Design Hotels

Amazing accomodation; priced appropriately. Great sanctuary from the surrounds. House staff were so fun and helpful. Outstanding pool, cocktails and food.

Unfortunately subject to a fhishing scam and hotel did not provide much assistance to recover lost funds.

Palazzo Daniele is surely not a common hotel.... it feels like a warm and friendly place away from home. It is such a wonderful experience to stay a few days in this beautiful old Palazzo! Rooms are big and beds are comfortable but in a modern, non conformistic way: fresco walls, repaired floors and old wooden windows combined with modern furniture, cozy sofas and contemporary art.... so tastefully done! Above of this all you are welcomed as a friend, showed around and introduced to all the people who make this place so special, including the cooks! The kitchen is a central meeting point here during the day.... you can take a cooking class or just get an extra coffee or a snack whenever you want just by walking in..... We had such a wonderful experience here, coming back for sure!

Nothing at all.

Let me start off by saying this place is insanely beautiful. All corners of this hotel are intricately detailed and aesthetically pleasing. Pros: - bathroom toiletries are from grown alchemist - Hotel is clean - There are ‘mums’ who do all the cooking and you can observe them while they prepare - My husband planned a romantic dinner and the 6 course meal was amazing!!! They also laid out candles all around and we had the gazebo to ourselves - All day menu which allows you to order anytime. They also accommodated our request as we were looking for bacon for brekkie - Some Staff were friendly. Even the italian mums who could only speak italian would try and communicate to us and explain what they were cooking

Cons: - Location is not ideal. Its in the town center and outside noise can be head from our room at night - Unless you have a car to take you around , you will have to eat all meals in the hotel. Everything outside is closed during siesta hours (12:30-5?) - Menu is very small. Breakfast only includes bread, pastries and eggs (also cost €24 pp) we also couldnt find any cafe that would serve anything else but croissants/ pastries for breakfast - Not all staff speak english which made communicating difficult. Sometimes our request would be ignored (i.e asked for a candle to get rid of mosquitos- said yes but didnt get one, asked for ice- never arrived, asked for tomatoes to be omitted and it would still be there, my husband asked for a normal Margarita and he ended up getting the special Margarita on their menu) - When trying to book something they would only get back to you hours later or after we have followed up a couple of times - Charges you a €4 bottle of water every time. Also cover charge for every dining even though you’re staying at the hotell - Transfers can be very expensive. We asked for them to book us a reservation at a beach club and the transfer was €40 each way (it was only a 7 min drive) - Ordered a t-bone steak (one of the specials) and it came out tough and chewy - Beds were not comfortable and my husband and I both ended up with back pain in the mornings - we did the cooking class which was €180pp and it was only 1 dish AND NOT EVEN IN ENGLISH. Someone had to translate, ridiculous considering the price . It was more like a play session and not a real cooking class

standing at the palace, I felt like I was in a movie

Everything

The place is like a dream - honestly, we didn't leave the Palazzo for our whole stay, I just wanted to soak it all up and I can't wait to return one day.

Nothing!

The staff here are unbelievable, so friendly and kind and go out of their way to make your stay a memorable experience. The palazzo is indeed stunning albeit in a village of little note with little to do. It’s a place to tour from. For this price, and it’s expensive, everything should be to a high quality, and it wasn’t. Worn frayed bath mat, chipped crockery, rising damp in a corner of the bedroom, slight smell of damp, windows with peeling paint and mold coming through in the bathroom really let this stunning place down. Perhaps it was just our room……We own an old listed property, the issues we mention aren’t the hallmarks of faded glamour or of an old building, but of a lack of investment. Shame as the staff and building are really superb.

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed in.
