Guest Reviews

Bregje (8/5): Bijzonder verblijf met een reis terug in de tijd - De sfeer en entourage. Wat een bijzondere plek om te overnachten! -
sherwood (9/5): A privilege to be able to stay in such a grand place - Beautiful palazzo, amazing rooms, furniture etc. staff very friendly Can recommend restaurant just across the road Slightly unnerving staying in such a huge place without staff in attendance, apart from at breakfast
Emmanuel (7/5): -
Delacruz6 (9/5): -
Francesco (8/5): In mezzo al Salento atmosfere ritrovate - L autenticità del Palazzo ? Poteva trovarsi anche in Sicilia, la gentilezza e disponibilità dello staff. La torta fresca al breakfast La dimensione stanza ed il rinnovato bagno fatto con gusto Un po’ di rumore sabato sera dalla strada i guanciali toppo duri bisognerebbe averne di due tipi

Giorgia De Santis (10/5): Vicerè per un giorno.. - Consiglio a chiunque, e soprattutto a chi cerca un lupgo speciale, unico.. di passare almeno una notte in questa meravigliosa location storica.. È stato come come soggiornare in un museo, ma con tutti i comfort di un moderno B&B.. bagni nuovi, letti comodissimi, stanze ampie, accoglienti e impreziosite da arredo antico. Tutti gli spazi del palazzo sono curati in ogni dettaglio, dai pavimenti maiolicati originali stupendi, agli affreschi.. non a caso vengono prestati anche ad eventi e feste private, riprese cinematografiche, sfilate.. La colazione ricca, con anche prodotti fatti in casa, in una stupenda cucina d'epoca.. da ultimo ma non d'importanza, la gentilezza e disponibilità dei gestori. Nulla, spero di tornarci in estate per godere anche della piscina esterna in fase di allestimento
Cesare (10/5): Luogo ideale per chi cerca il fascino della storia - Sono pienamente soddisfatta del mio soggiorno in questa struttura .Questa dimora storica si distingue per una fedeltà assoluta alle proprie radici. Nonostante i secoli, il palazzo splende. È raro trovare una struttura che riesca a coniugare pulizia e standard di comfort moderni senza sacrificare un solo centimetro del suo carattere classico.È il luogo ideale per chi cerca il fascino della storia. Ogni angolo del palazzo invita alla contemplazione, offrendo un rifugio silenzioso e raffinato, un esempio virtuoso di come il patrimonio storico possa essere preservato con amore e intelligenza. È stato tutto perfetto.
Ingegerd (10/5): - Unikt vackert boende, vänliga ägare/personal som tog sig tid att visa runt. Vi kände oss uppskattade och fick låna deras parkeringsplats.
Bettina (10/5): - Abbiamo trascorso una splendida notte nella suite Contessa con jacuzzi. Dopo un bel concerto nei dintorni, il luogo perfetto per celebrare un weekend "fuori dal mondo". Anche ora a dicembre era ben riscaldato, l'unica cosa da migliorare potrebbe essere la temperatura dell'acqua. Torneremo volentieri.
Waleria (10/5): -
YurgaD (10/5): - We are delighted to have had the opportunity to spend one day in the exceptional apartments. It was a unique experience in a historic building. The welcome was very warm. We would especially like to thank Loredana, who welcomed us in the kitchen for breakfast, treated us to her homemade lemon cake, a wonderful cappuccino, and educated us on how to eat the Apulian bread Friselle👌.Thank you very much for this experience!🤗
annick (9/5): - Le lieu , le charme les chambres et le personnel très sympathique Le bruit du frigo dans la chambre
Anna (10/5): Feel like a duke - What a fabulous place! You truly feel the spirit of the past and feel like a duke 🫅. The hist and the hostess were really sweet. Our breakfast was also amazing, serves on the original kitchen (you’ll see what I mean when you are there). Definitely recommend and will stay again.
Arie (8/5): - De kamer was geweldig Ontbijt was basic
Aaron (10/5): - Amazing breakfast pastiocci
Tim (10/5): - This is a historic palazzo in great condition and very well maintained
MARIALUCIA LA MACCHIA (10/5): Una sorpresa settecentesca ✨ - Una sorpresa! Immergersi in un palazzo settecentesco e in un attimo sentirsi parte del contesto. Tutto curato nei minimi dettagli dall’arredamento all’argenteria settecentesca. Il personale attento, presente e premuroso. Ho trascorso qualche giorno nel Salento con la mia famiglia, nonni, zii la sera prima di andare a letto ci siamo intrattenuti nella camera da pranzo, sembrava di essere parte di quella meraviglia.Consiglio vivamente di vivire questa esperienza Il paese ove è localizzata la struttura potrebbe essere più predisposta al turismo che inonda il Salento per far apprezzare al meglio questa incredibile bellezza
Daniel (10/5): -
Denisse (10/5): - Our stay at the palazzo was one of the best stays we have ever had in a long time! The staff and the hospitality they have shown to us was amazing! From the very beginning of our booking until the day we left we were treated like royalty. Caterina always had answers, suggestions, for all our needs. Our breakfast always "yummy" and prepare by the most caring, lovely Laurie! Language was not barrier; you don't need to speak the same language to know kindness. The palazzo is gorgeous inside and out, if you have any mobility issues, they do have an elevator which was A+ for us. All this to say, if you ever are in the vicinity of Squinzano or close to it and need a place to stay where you be taking care of and have and excellent time, I recommend the stay at the Palazzo de Castro. If there were more stars to give, I would give more!!! Denisse, Dexter & Angela
Nayme (10/5): -
Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - So much character and lots of space. Really beautiful The location is in a quiet town which I liked and found intriguinh but not really cafes or shops close by
Karla (10/5): Exceptional - yes
Natalja (9/5): Very pleasant stay in a special place! - The staff is super friendly. The palazzo is charming with spacious rooms and authentic furniture. Good restaurant nearby and good information about the surroundings.
Guy (10/5): 18th century elegance - A charming time warp with modern facilities! Rooms filled with an eclectic assortment of curios and antiques made for a romantic dip into the past. Very friendly and helpful staff made plentiful breakfasts even more delightful. Balanced with a small but clean and modern bathroom with lovely hot water and a powerful shower, gave the perfect combination. Only one critisism, which is not the fault of the hotel, was that the small town was lacking in anywhere to go locally for refreshment or entertainment. Would not recommend if you don't have your own transport!
Matilda (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay! ☀️ Very charming. Large rooms with Beautiful decor.
Arnold (8/5): - The palazzo is beautiful! We had a fridge in the room, was what very convenient in this high temparatures! The room was excellent! The daily breakfast was made with love. It is perfectly located to see the area. We asked to park the car en were a bit disapointed that this was extra charged. Xe thought it to be included in the price. Squinzano is quitly safe, so there was no need.
Barbara (10/5): It was a start of our holiday in Puglia. We love the place and the beach near the town. The food in a restaurant close t - Gorgeous!
Yanislav (10/5): It was absolute pleasure to stay in this palazzo! It was a special experience! We highly recommend it! -
Pantaleo (8/5): Very good -
Caoxi (10/5): Exceptional - Very special place to stay, it was like dream. Nothing.
James (10/5): It was an incredible experience to stay in a truly authentic 18th century palace that was filled with beautiful painting - The palace is beautiful inside and the staff is super friendly. The rooms are spacious with 25 foot ceilings and the bathrooms are modern The town where it is located has little to offer and the breakfast was not as good as most
Patrick (10/5): A travel back in time - Everything! It’s like traveling back in time. Moreover Loredana is not only very kind and welcoming, she also bakes everyday excellent pies and pastries for breakfast. An unforgettable experience! Nothing
A. (10/5): Highly recommended, unique experience. - Suberb historic location, very kind hosts. Very comfortable. Nothing.
Monica (10/5): amazing and delightful - Everything, specially the history behiind this amazing villa, maintained in great conditions. It was a beautiful discovery. a gem in Puglia.
