Palazzo Daniele
A 160-year-old aristocratic palazzo at the very tip of Puglia's heel, restored into nine suites by a Roman hotelier and a Puglian art collector. Ceiling frescoes, mosaic floors, and a contemporary art collection set against them. A member of Design Hotels.
Why we chose it
Their own slogan is "questa casa non è un albergo" - this house is not a hotel. With nine suites it feels closer to a private residence, and from November to March the entire palazzo can be taken over exclusively. For a leadership team, that is as close to having a place entirely to yourselves as this portfolio offers.
The building
Owned by the family that built it since 1861, restored rather than reinvented. The original frescoes and mosaic floors are left exposed and the contemporary art is placed against them deliberately - grandeur and minimalism in the same rooms. It is one of the most distinctive interiors we work with anywhere.
The kitchen
There is no head chef. Four women from the Salento region cook the way they cook at home, from produce that local farmers bring to the door each morning. Long lunches in the courtyard garden of orange trees are where the useful conversations tend to happen.
The setting
Gagliano del Capo sits at the southern tip of the heel, where the Ionian and Adriatic meet near Santa Maria di Leuca. Empty beaches, hidden coves, and Lecce — the baroque city — an hour and a half north. Quiet in the way that only the far south of Italy still is.
