Palazzo Daniele

Incredible space! The staff are so warm and welcoming, the space is minimalist but retaining its original charm from the 1800s, and the food is made with locally sourced and fresh ingredients. It’s not your typical hotel but if you’re looking for a more authentic experience in comfort this is your spot .

Lovely lodging in an authentic little town off the beaten path. The building is beautiful and well-maintained. The pool is wonderful. Our bed was comfortable and our room was clean and quiet. My wife and I ate breakfast and dinner at the inn. Delicious. We sat and drank wine in the kitchen and chatted with the chef while our dinner was being prepared. The staff was kind and attentive. Palazzo Daniele is certainly not a chain hotel, but for those looking for a unique, well-run lodging in southern Italy, I highly recommend it.

The hotel is an ancient family home transformed in hotel. We stayed there but found it lacking and way overpriced. The town is not your picturesque puglian town. It’s a rather non-descript small village. While the palazzo pretends to be the main attraction it lacks in ambiance - they claim it is minimalist but it’s rather bare- and structure for the price they charge. There’s no gym - if I’d be interested and no other amenities and the pool is cold. The food is not spectacular but overpriced. Breakfast costs 40 euros per person (way way out of range even for hotels of this category) and lunch is a scant pasta plus salad and you pay 90+ euros (the food in the village in the tip of the boot is way way better and half the price). Because of their we decided to leave early and they did not respect the modified reservation made thru Marriott. They were not full so it would make no difference unless the purpose was to keep our money. Do NOT recommend it.

Be very careful when booking this hotel! We were going to book one of their suites and the price was $2330 for 4 nights. We called to ask if they had a 2nd one available and they said yes and they will email us the details. When they emailed us the details, the raised the price of the suite by 1,000 EUR! Then tried to tell us well this is just automated by the system. I have never heard of such a thing. The time difference between us calling and the price going up was 2 hours. So it just happened that in those 2 hours the price magically went up 1,000 EUR once they knew we wanted to book 2 rooms. The person's name we spoke to was Stefano and I'm almost certain he raised the prices on the site to squeeze more money from us.

We had a lovely stay last week at Palazzo Daniele with my girlfriend. The property is beautiful, and the team is both professional and friendly, striking a perfect balance between casual and attentive service. Since we both work in the luxury hotel industry, we were intrigued when we heard about Palazzo Daniele and knew we had to experience it for ourselves. The open kitchen, where you can wander in and out freely, along with the option to have meals organized in different locations around the property, truly enhances the feeling of a home away from home. The honesty bar is also a delightful touch. The food is fresh and delicious, with local butchers and fishermen regularly supplying produce. The property places a strong emphasis on sustainability, featuring eco-friendly products, natural fiber bed linens, and bath towels. The design is, of course, stunning—the minimalist approach really highlights the natural beauty of the property. If you plan to visit, I highly recommend engaging with the staff. Not only are they incredibly nice, but the better they get to know you, the more they can do to make your stay as memorable as possible! Since we only stayed one night, there weren’t many things we felt could be improved. However, a welcome amenity in the room upon arrival would be a lovely gesture. A handwritten card, along with some cold refreshments and fruit, would go a long way. Additionally, with no minibar in the room, having a fridge with access to cold water once the staff has gone home would be a nice touch. A big thank you to the team, especially Riccardo and Henry! We hope to return next time.

I had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Palazzo Daniele and it was a truly marvellous experience, with memories to last a lifetime. When you read the reviews you will notice that a few guests sadly just don’t get the concept…..||The palazzo is a home not a hotel. The waiters and waitresses are not the staff, they engage with you to help you enjoy your stay. They are returning locals and have been carefully hand picked for their international experience and their ability to relate to & communicate with the guests. The cooks in the kitchen are “mama” and will cook what you want with the local ingredients to hand and everything is absolutely delicious, hence no menus. There are no TVs, irons and ironing boards, Nespresso machines and fridges in the room. The furnishings are minimal to allow one to focus on the amazing architecture. The renovation of the owner’s ancestral home is light touch, truly preserving the original and retaining the soul rather than rebuilding afresh. Don’t get me wrong, everything is clean and works especially the amazing shower in the 6m vaulted bathroom of the Royal Junior Suite that I stayed in So enjoy your stay and the company of your hosts but do not mistake the lack of “box fresh perfection” as a sign of not knowing or not caring. The very opposite is true, the owner, designer, manager and hosts all know and care passionately about every detail of the art and history and culture and traditional values. Palazzo Daniele is a very special place. It is theatre. Enjoy.||Thanks to everyone including Fabio, Lara, Sandra, Valentina and Jada. You were all wonderful.

Palazzo Daniele has been restored with an exquisitely balanced blend of the palazzo’s original neo classical details with the form and function of modern Italian design. Every corner of the place offers surprise and delight, elegance and comfort. The delicious and abundant food offerings, the fine linen towels and sheets, the lighting, the witty arrangements of artwork and objects of interest are all the details that make one’s stay at Palazzo Daniele a time to remember! We will surely be back.

This place was a dream. Quirky from the moment you ducked your head through the vintage door and stepped into the courtyard you know it’s like no normal hotel. Staff were amazing. Rooms were exceptionally generous. Beautiful grounds to explore and fun local town centre outside that came to life at night. Food was sensational thanks to the ladies in the kitchen - we loved our cooking class and massages - everything was spot on. This place is not a buzzing town but a laid back community with Beaches to explore and sensational biking tours. Wonderful base to explore puglia
