"In Puglia, where the COVID-19 infection rate was reassuringly low compared to the hard-hit north, villa-style Palazzo Daniele believes the 18 guests it hosts at any one time won’t feel too much difference from this year compared to last. “We are spacious,” says Simona Veronesi, the hotel’s sales and marketing director. “We can set up private breakfasts in the gardens, or by the pool, as we would have done even without the new restrictions,” she adds, noting that the hotel does not have a conventional kitchen so it is standard to serve meals wherever guests want to eat and when."
