Guest Reviews
- Christian (9/5): Für eine Küstenwanderung in Apulien und ein Tag Übernachtung ein toller Platz - Das Frühstück hätte ein wenig mehr an Käse oder Schinken sein können, aber sonst sehr nette Atmosphäre.
- Jo (5/5): Charming but tired palace, not good value for money - Old Palace with charming courtyard. The pool was broken, the breakfast was limited, the sofa bed in the family room was very uncomfortable. Disappointing given this was the most expensive place to stay on our trip and we stayed in much nicer places for half the price.
- Josephine (10/5): Un bol d’air frais ! - Notre séjour a été une vraie bouffée d’air frais !
Un personnel au petit soin, qui s’adapte au besoin de sa clientèle. Le petit déjeuner est très bon, avec des gâteaux faits maison !
L’endroit est idyllique, vous êtes dans le château de la ville avec une cours intérieure, un jardin et une piscine, de quoi s’offrir un vrai moment reposant.
Merci encore pour l’accueil ! Tout était bien !
- Marta (3/5): Rapporto qualità prezzo non buono . Insufficiente - Palazzo molto bello . Gli asciugami del bagno non sono stati cambiati durante la permanenza malgrado fossero stati messi a terra appositamente per essere cambiati ; l acqua della doccia scendeva molto lentamente e l aria condìzionata non rinfrescava la stanza ch era enorme quindi un altro apparecchio di aria condizionata sarebbe stato utile. La colazione molto basica per il prezzo pagato e ci sarebbe dovuti essere più servizi in piscina come un bar almeno per chi passa tutta la giornata. Piscina tenuta male e sdraio scomodi e vecchi. Il guardiano andrebbe intrattenuto di più
- Frédéric (9/5): Séjour reposant , dans un hotel de charme authentiquement ancien . - Hotel de charme , peu de chambres , dans un palais local ( petit chateau ) . Charme fou , grand jardin avec piscine et parking privé et clos pour les voitures . Calme absolu alors qu'on est dans une petite bourgade . Très beau . Logement propre et très vaste ( suite au rez-de-chaussée) . Rapport qualité-prix excellent . Le petit déjeuner est quelconque et peu copieux , c'est le seul reproche que l'on puisse faire à l'établissement . A améliorer .
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Can't ask for a better place in Marittima - Perfect location. Amazing historical building in the center of the town. Can reach the sea within a 10 min drive. Great hosts. I enjoyed the pool and appreciated the free parking space. Everything was great
- Chiara Azzurra (10/5): -
- Felci (7/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Soggiorno pieno di poesia.. - Palazzo Vecchio è una dimora storica bellissima e piena di poesia. Siamo stati benissimo, Oriana e Giuseppe sono estremamente gentili e sempre disponibili. Ottima la colazione, la pulizia delle camere, e giardino, piscina e parcheggio sono quei servizi che fanno la differenza. In oltre logisticamente è vicinissima al mare e ai centri più belli del Salento. Ci torneremo spero prestissimo. Grazie mille per l'accoglienza ricevuta. Nulla
- LARTIGAU (10/5): - Tout. Le lieu. Les personnes adorables qui nous ont accueillies. Nous recommandons s vivement
- Maxime (10/5): - Het kasteel is echt alsof je in een sprookje terecht komt! De suite was ook geweldig mooi. Wij hebben alle dagen langs het heerlijke zwembad gelegen, lopen naar het strandje was ons net iets te avontuurlijk in 35 graden. De eigenaar en eigenaresse waren ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam: we hadden de airco perongeluk op de verkeerde stand staan en toen we weer terugkwamen in de kamer was hij weer helemaal koel en stond er zelfs een ventilator klaar.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Anette (6/5): Pleasant - Nice little town, and an all right pool Like NO wifi or reception whatsoever…I had to go to the main square, to text message. I know its a palazzo and all, build in stone…but honestly….
Breakfast was poor.
- Stefania (10/5): Exceptional - Location full of charm, nice garden and pool, lovely staff and great breakfast
- Joao (6/5): It could be so much better… - Beautiful building with lots of charm and character. Terrible WiFi, garden and pool areas untidy and poorly maintained.
- Jason (6/5): Pleasant -
- James (10/5): Exceptional - It was like having a small apartment. There was a kitchen and a living area in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. And the location on the town of Marittima is the best.
- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing hotel and wonderful hosts
- Josephine (9/5): Wonderful - Very beautiful building (palazzo) with lovely courtyard, garden and pool area. The furniture in the room was old but charming. There were lots of areas around the property where you could sit and relax - in the courtyard or garden. The breakfast was generous and delicious and it was a great way to start the day having breakfast in the courtyard. Very friendly owners and very comfortable stay
- Piotr (10/5): Great place to rest and visit south of Salento - One of the greatest B&Bs I've ever been. Beautiful old palazzo, not in glamour sense. The garden, the pool, relaxing atmosphere. Nice little town with 2 good places to eat.
- Nick (8/5): Lovely family run hotel in a typical Puglian village - we really enjoyed our stay. - The place oozes history, being a magnificent old building dating from, I think, the 18th Century.
The greeting upon our arrival from the owners was warm and friendly and the off-street parking was a real bonus.
This is a family run hotel and they went out of their way to be friendly and helpful - little things like popping to the bakery to get an extra croissant for our daughter were really appreciated.
To be clear (and this is not a criticism), this is a family hotel not a 10-star luxury hotel - there's no bar / dinner service, but the town has a couple of nice restaurants and cafés. The pool area is nice and secluded and the courtyard where we had breakfast was lovely. Think 'shabby chic' rather than perfection, and you'll enjoy it much more. We loved the honesty of the place. Nothing major, but a towel rail in the bathroom would have been handy, and the lack of a shower-screen / curtain made it a bit hard to contain the spray, but nothing a bit of mopping with the bath mat didn't solve.
- Gianna (8/5): Charming rustic family run b and b in old palazzo with pool and private parking in heart of town. - Breakfast basic. Tiny shower with leaking problem. Very small hard single beds.
- Jessica (10/5): CHARMING & MEMORABLE - The most incredible property, the gardens and palace are so stunning. Very clean and comfortable room with Aircon. Nice breakfast
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Rolando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Harminder (7/5): glad I got to stay in a converted palace in Italy ! would visit again just for the vibe and stepping back into time feel - I loved the location, the character and keeping I with the style of the original palace. the gardens and courtyard were absolutely stunning. I felt like I was living in the as a queen in the 18th century. it has the feel of a real old palace.
excellent location in the centre of town, good fountain area, church nearby, utopia bar and patisserie. loved the vibe of the old village. The towels need to be updated as this was important and in line with a few modern toiletries to make it feel a bit up to date.
the breakfast was basic and the quality of the bread and coffee (considering in Italy !!!) could be better - that’s my personal choice. but great coffee shops down the street.
- Anda (8/5): Very good - If you want to have the experience of living for a few days in an old castle, this is the right place. The castle has a bohemian air and takes you back to another era. The reception area and the inner garden are as if taken from a fairy tale.
Breakfast is delicious and the staff take care to bring Italian dishes specific to the area every day.
The swimming pool gives extra comfort, being a perfect place for relaxation.
The owners and staff are very nice, they always tried to help us feel comfortable and even arranged for us to rent a car, at a time when everything was sold out. 1. The air conditioner in the room was very noisy and did not work properly.
2. The garden behind the castle and the pool area could be better arranged.
3. The pool should be cleaned more often, as there are a lot of leaves and plant debris in it.
4. At breakfast, we would have preferred to have a selection of coffees to choose from.
- Marc (10/5): Beyond expectations! - This is not a modern facility, but well maintained. For us it was a great place. You could feel centuries. Great garden and very nice owners. Simply great experience!
- Rania (10/5): Exceptional - great location to explore Salento, nice staff
- Ilaria (9/5): Superb - Incredibile space within a very peaceful setting. Giuseppe and his family are super welcoming. Highly recommended!
