PALAZZO DANIELE

5 starts are not enough to describe this place.
It’s dreamy ambiance gives you the perfect time away and every detail from staff to service is exceptional. Amazing authentic food in a relaxed setting. Fabio from the reception is utter helpful at any time of the day.
We would definitely come back and recommend anyone to book.

We were confused by some of the low ratings - our experience was fantastic, especially the service. Once you step in the little door you can't help but have your mouth drop open. The place/palace is stunning. Every turn is more beautiful than the next.
I always appreciate a tour of the property at check in, and Ricardo did just that. The rest of the staff were so attentive and accommodating, including Valeria, who helped translate during our cooking lesson and Fabio who hooked us up with a last minute booking at Cinque Vele beach club.
The food was good, some of it was great. The breakfast was so simple but plentiful and very freshly made.
Location-wise, the palace is the destination and is situated on a piazza where locals convene nightly as the heart of the community. We really appreciated it feeling so authentic and not overrun with tourists. It's a charming little town.
Overall we loved our stay. It's totally unique and very very special.

great atmosphere and ambience

Palazzo Daniele is unlike anywhere we've ever stayed. From the moment you walk into this stunning place, there's a sign that says 'This House is Not A Hotel'. That's exactly how our stay felt here.

Firstly, the grounds, aesthetic of the rooms and carefully curated spaces are all stunning. It's the perfect balance of history and modernity.

The people here (who are all hired locally from the Salento region) are just the most beautiful people. They all radiate warmth and goodness and are so accomodating to every need you may have.

The open-plan kitchen does really make it feel like a house as you can walk through and see what the cooks are making. Leveraging the local produce from the Salento region, these cooks are absolute master chefs. Every dish was incredible.

The breakfast here is also an event in itself with the pastry chef putting her heart and soul into the most delicate baked Italian treats.

Roberto, who runs Palazzo Daniele was an absolutely great guy who genuinely loves what he does. He was so personable and really made you feel you were part of his home.

This really is a hidden gem and one that my wife and I will keep coming back to.

Beautiful palazzo with the most welcoming staff team! Dinners were also fantastic
