Guest Reviews
- Paulius (10/5): - Amazing stuff and hotel max best place and clean
- Francesca (10/5): Ci ritornerei volentieri - Posto incantevole suggestivo curato nei minimi dettagli colazione eccezionale Nulla
- Luccarini (8/5): - Ottima posizione, in centro storico e vicino al parcheggio auto. Palazzo storico molto bello. Camere curate nell'arredamento e spaziose. Letti molto comodi. Al nostro arrivo (30/12/25) le camere erano gelide... essendo un palazzo storico i soffitti sono molto alti e il calore ovviamente si disperde. Il riscaldamento è stato acceso tardi e ci sono volute alcune ore per avere una temperatura gradevole. Inoltre la colazione non è inclusa nel prezzo.
- Alessia (8/5): -
- Brigitte (9/5): - Schöne, hohe alte Räume. Zentrale Lage. Blick auf Glocken vom Dom. Die Befürchtung, dass die Glocken stündlich läuten wie zu Hause ist nicht passiert.
- Pascal (10/5): Mehr Gallipoli geht nicht - Sehr schön und modern hergerichteter Palazzo mitten in der Stadt. Klimaanlage. Frühstück in der Bar. Sehr, sehr schön.
- rejane (10/5): - La beauté du lieu la situation la propreté rien à dire tout était conforme
- Tommaso (10/5): - Perfect position inside the old town! Huge rooms and super comfortable
- Umberto (8/5): Io e mia figlia, abbiamo passato un ottima vacanza, graz alle bellezze del Salento!! Ottima la posizione del palazzo dov - Palazzo storico molto bello, nel pieno centro di Gallipoli!! Camera accogliente e ottima pulizia da parte del personale!! Causa mancanza spazio, c’è un solo stendino da dividere con altre camere!!
- Marine (5/5): Décevant pour le prix - Le logement est très beau, bien placé dans le centre historique et propre Les portes de chambre sont très fines, nous avons été réveillé tous les jours à 8h30 du matin par le personnel qui discutait dans le hall attenant à notre porte de chambre, et ensuite par leurs sonneries de téléphones toutes les 5 minutes. Nous sommes venus pour nous reposer, ce qui est dommage car nous n’avons pas pu faire cela comme souhaité dans ce logement
- Sabrina (6/5): - El alojamiento es hermoso, la habitacion es perfecta. El lugar no tiene mas que habitaciones y comedor donde se sirve el desayuno. La ubicacion es en el centro historico, depende cuando vayas puede ser bueno o malo.
El desayuno esta bien, fruta, fiambre y harinas. Lo justo.
Todos los dias te limpian la habitacion. Fue una tortura estacionar, y que el hospedaje no tenga ningun tipo de servicio de parking nos parecio muy malo. Solo te da informacion de donde estacionar, pero en agosto estacionar en Gallipoli es lo peor que te puede pasar. Deberian tener un diferencial en el hospedaje o aunque sea advertirte.
El personal no habla 1 palabra que no sea italiano, se complico la comunicacion.
- Mario (6/5): -
- Ieyasu (10/5): Wonderful place in the city center -
- Pacurariu (9/5): -

- Fabiola (8/5): -
- Darija (9/5): Great location and beautiful building. - Beautiful building, very stylish and spacious room. We lacked some basic comfort amenities - like glasses in the room.
- Robert (9/5): Very attractive, clean, light filled room and nice bathroom. Getting to your room could be a physical challenge for some - Clean, attractive decor in spacious room and bath. Central location in historic area with parking close by. Very comfortable bed. Directly across from very loud church bells. Inconvenient trek of luggage from even the closest temporary parking. No elevator and steep lengthy stairs to the main entry. No breakfast or lounge area.
- Nathalie (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - We had a wonderful 2 week stay here. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. It was very central to all the attractions and restaurants but was quiet at night. The staff were lovely and friendly & any questions were answered promptly. We really enjoyed our stay.
- Quentin (7/5): Good - Nice spacious room, simply but well decorated. Good value rate. The WiFi is so bad. Even next to the router, it just doesn’t work.
- Lauren (7/5): Good -
- Rojas (10/5): Beautiful location - Beautiful well located place, spacious rooms, close to the beach and lot of gastronomy options, also the staff were very nice all the time with suggestions about restaurants and places, breakfast was also very good with fresh fruits and great coffee
- Caroline (8/5): Fin och charmig miljö, aningen mörka rum - Vi hyrde 2 rum (familj på 5). Vi fick rummen jämte varandra (rum 4 och 5). Hotellet och rummen är jättefina, fin miljö. Hotellet ligger även jättebra.
Det som var synd är att rummen har inga fönster utan glasdörrar ut mot en väldigt liten innergård, vilket gör att rummen känns lite mörka.
- Fabien (9/5): Superb -
- Nora (6/5): Pleasant - destination perfect, right in the center (next to the church), large room, free refreshments It was challenging to communicate with the owner, who only communicated via phone. When we needed the Wi-Fi password, there was no response. Similarly, when we needed details to enter the building, no instructions were sent. We only received instructions after making multiple direct calls.
The rooms are a bit wet, so you can feel the dampness and smell it.
- Michela (10/5): We very much enjoyed 3 days exploring Gallipoli and surroundings. - We loved the architectural style, the way the rooms are designed in the minimalist way. It’s an exceptionally beautiful old building. The host is very helpful in giving advice for nature hikes near Gallipoli, as well as ideas for great restaurants. The pillows are of a foam material we are not used to. Next time we will request a room facing the interior, not the main street, as it can be a bit loud at night. We were kindly offered to switch.
- Tomislav (10/5): Charming room - Fantastic location, very comfortable new bed, clean. The old charmimg building in the old charming town.
- Kalliopi (10/5): An elegant room in the heart of Gallipoli! - The room is located in the heart of Gallipoli, on a very beautiful and very well maintained old building.
Very clean, beautifully decorated and quite spacious room for two people!
Rich breakfast with fresh fruits, coffee and a selection of local pastries, very friendly and kind staff! The glass door in the bathroom is a nice design idea, but not for friends traveling together.
- Nikki (7/5): Good - It was very central in the old town, so well located
The room was spacious and had a fridge/safe and was comfortable enough with sofa/chair too
The building was beautiful and historic in its origins and felt secure The (rather lovely) room had little or no natural daylight so was very stuffy and extremely hard to breathe as it was hot - I would have found it depressing in autumn/winter when the nights are darker anyway
The staff seemed very young/immature and unable to deal well with our request to leave bags etc especially well
The breakfast was disappointing (and the standard for this trip was already extremely low!)
The parking was some 10 mins walk away although they did arrange for us to be able to drive into the old city to drop off bags and we where met at the secure parking by a lovely man who spoke good English it was a bit of a faff
- Andre (10/5): Séjour extraordinaire ! - Extraordinaire ! Palace … magnifique face à la cathédrale !
Accueil chaleureux, chambre vaste, salle de bains hyper moderne
- Mathieu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Franziska (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arlene (10/5): Loved Our Stay - We loved our stay at Palazzo Balsamo, it’s in such a beautiful historic building and the rooms are lovely. The bed was comfy, the staff were really friendly & helpful. We would highly recommend staying here when visiting Gallipoli.
- Samuel (9/5): Superb - The location was very good, the interior of the hotel was beautiful. Friendly welcoming and overall, I would say the value was very high, and I'd recommend anyone to stay here. On the last day, we honestly had a weird and uncomfortable situation with some staff. A breakfast accident (and some lack of communication) had some staff members rolling their eyes and loudly complaining at us, which felt both unprofessional and uncomfortable, especially since the accident wasn't our fault. It had a bit of bitter ending to an overall fantastic stay.
- Kirsty (7/5): Good - Beautiful room in a great location
- Camelia (9/5): Superb -
- Zoë (7/5): Good -
- Stephen (10/5): Beautiful stay here. Comfortable bed, tasty breakfast and amazing location - Authentic decor, traditional, beautiful building upgraded to tourist standard
- Kim (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, well designed rooms & hotel
- Orlaith (10/5): Exceptional - Nice breakfast with lovely coffee , fruit and local pastries. Beautiful room and very comfortable.
- Emma (10/5): Fantastic interior design and location with great comfort and service! - Fantastic rooms with an inspiring blend of contemporary design and antique beauty.
Perfect location. Super friendly and service minded staff.
- lilli (10/5): - Yksinkertainen, mutta tyylikäs hotelli. Erinomainen aamiainen ja hyvä palvelu. Sijainti hyvä.
Olimme kaikinpuolin tyytyväisiä
- Gianvito (8/5): Very good -
- Réka (9/5): Superb - Beautiful room in a historic building. Just in the centre of Gallipoli, spacious room and bathroom, beautiful decoration. The interiour was really lovely. Also the breakfast was great! Within walking distance of shops, restaurants and main historic sites in Gallipoli Parking is rather problematic. You can drive in the peninsula to pack out your luggage, than you have to drive out to find a parking place. Until you load out your luggage and take them to the hotel (120 metres away in the pedestrian street) someone better stays at the car, because police might punish you.
- Arjen (10/5): You have to stay here in Gallipolli - Beautiful apartment with a fantastic bed and shower
- Giorgia (10/5): Fantastic - Superb location, right in the centre of the old town but still private and secluded. Reception and breakfast area are all gorgeous. Bedroom was great, very comfortable and clean and the AC worked perfectly. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. The staff were wonderful too. We stayed in 5 different areas around Puglia and this was our favourite by far. The breakfast was good but some small changes would make it much better. There was no menu and the waitress just told us what was available and we let her know what we wanted. A buffet style would have been a lot more convenient so you can see everything available and choose it yourself.
- Gorman (9/5): Lovely - The location was excellent, close to the beach and restaurants. If looking for a relaxing stay with 10am starts to the day, this place may not me for you, as it was noisy in the mornings. Elaria who looked after us at breakfast was a gem, thank you Elaria! A little noisy from 8am
- Krisztina Evelin (10/5): - Sehr schönes Palazzo,auf alt eingerichtet,ein schönes Hotel mitten im Altstadt. Kann ich nur empfehlen!!
