A magical building and decor

Stayed in April 2024

Unfortunately subject to a fhishing scam and hotel did not provide much assistance to recover lost funds.

Amazing accomodation; priced appropriately. Great sanctuary from the surrounds. House staff were so fun and helpful. Outstanding pool, cocktails and food.

Nothing at all.

Palazzo Daniele is surely not a common hotel.... it feels like a warm and friendly place away from home. It is such a wonderful experience to stay a few days in this beautiful old Palazzo! Rooms are big and beds are comfortable but in a modern, non conformistic way: fresco walls, repaired floors and old wooden windows combined with modern furniture, cozy sofas and contemporary art.... so tastefully done! Above of this all you are welcomed as a friend, showed around and introduced to all the people who make this place so special, including the cooks! The kitchen is a central meeting point here during the day.... you can take a cooking class or just get an extra coffee or a snack whenever you want just by walking in..... We had such a wonderful experience here, coming back for sure!

standing at the palace, I felt like I was in a movie

Nothing!

The place is like a dream - honestly, we didn't leave the Palazzo for our whole stay, I just wanted to soak it all up and I can't wait to return one day.

The room needed more lighting. At night it was so dark I wouldn’t put on make up or see my belongings well. I would have liked to have a mini fridge in the room to store some cold drinks. I did not like the towels which were like large tablecloths. They needed more loungers by the pool so that all guests could have one, and they needed more beach towels by the pool. It was always hard to get more towels.

Really gorgeous property with beautiful restaurant and pool areas. Delicious breakfast. Good air conditioning. Easy to park and safe little charming town. I liked that they bright you fresh bottle water everyday. I liked the Grown Alchemist toiletries.

The value for money in terms of food and extras is not great. The breakfast was lovely but any extras were extortionate (for example fried eggs are included in the breakfast but if you wanted boiled it was 10 euros). The same with dinner. You are better of eating at the lovely local pizzeria or delicious local restaurant moi moi to come back and enjoy a drink in the lovely grounds which really cannot be faulted.

Probably one of the most gorgeous places we’ve stayed in and the staff were lovely

Local village has few amenities or restaurants so taxi or drive required to get to dinner or lunches which wasn’t ideal

Villa is very pretty and nice design touches and art work

I adored this Palazzo. I loved that the restoration allowed the original building and grounds to shine through and these were still able to be experienced and appreciated. We stayed in the room with the amazing shower, frescoes on our ceiling and a lemon tree outside our window. I also loved the linen sheets on our bed and the beautiful bed coverings. It was such a privilege to stay and have time to experience this beautiful, old building and its garden. Simply magic.

There’s nothing to fault with this hotel, the staff were amazing and let us continue to use the facilities after check out as as we had a late flight. The decor in the rooms and rest of hotel is stunning, the beds are comfortable and the facilities are beautiful and well maintained.

The property is stunning and an aesthetic dream - the contrast of the historic palazzo and the sleek, modern art is so striking and luxurious to call home for your stay!

Palazzo Daniele is located in a beautiful little Italian town in Salento with minimal other tourists. The hotel and the rooms are stunning and the service from the staff is second to none. The food is also incredible and meals can be eaten outside in the beautiful grounds of the Palazzo.

Room design more style than function. Lighting a challenge. Electrical outlets not functioning. Bathroom counter space a challenge.

Fabulous property. The Palazzo Daniele grounds and design elements are world class. The service was extraordinary. The meals were great, particularly the dinner menu/setting/service. The location was a pleasant surprise. The beaches and area around offered some adventure. The town of Gagliano del Capo was really fun. We enjoyed several evening in the town square, including a disco band one night, and lots of local community activity every night.

it’s magnificence

It’s hard to find the negative side to an exceptional stay. if anything, noise from common areas may wake you if you plan to sleep late as the palazzo is lively with other guests and staff going around.

Impeccable taste and care for every last detail: from decoration, to meals, amenities and down to the linen. Feels both grand and “at home” at once. Massage & spa are great.

Staff, food, beautiful hotel.

We didn’t get a chance to make our own pasta which we will definitely do next time! We just ran out of time.

A totally unexpected experience at the beautiful and achingly cool Palazzo Daniele. Peaceful, serene and beautifully decorated, all accessed via a secret door in the fort-like walls. The staff were incredible and food delicious…

Fantastic everything

Cons: - Location is not ideal. Its in the town center and outside noise can be head from our room at night - Unless you have a car to take you around , you will have to eat all meals in the hotel. Everything outside is closed during siesta hours (12:30-5?) - Menu is very small. Breakfast only includes bread, pastries and eggs (also cost €24 pp) we also couldnt find any cafe that would serve anything else but croissants/ pastries for breakfast - Not all staff speak english which made communicating difficult. Sometimes our request would be ignored (i.e asked for a candle to get rid of mosquitos- said yes but didnt get one, asked for ice- never arrived, asked for tomatoes to be omitted and it would still be there, my husband asked for a normal Margarita and he ended up getting the special Margarita on their menu) - When trying to book something they would only get back to you hours later or after we have followed up a couple of times - Charges you a €4 bottle of water every time. Also cover charge for every dining even though you’re staying at the hotell - Transfers can be very expensive. We asked for them to book us a reservation at a beach club and the transfer was €40 each way (it was only a 7 min drive) - Ordered a t-bone steak (one of the specials) and it came out tough and chewy - Beds were not comfortable and my husband and I both ended up with back pain in the mornings - we did the cooking class which was €180pp and it was only 1 dish AND NOT EVEN IN ENGLISH. Someone had to translate, ridiculous considering the price . It was more like a play session and not a real cooking class

Let me start off by saying this place is insanely beautiful. All corners of this hotel are intricately detailed and aesthetically pleasing. Pros: - bathroom toiletries are from grown alchemist - Hotel is clean - There are ‘mums’ who do all the cooking and you can observe them while they prepare - My husband planned a romantic dinner and the 6 course meal was amazing!!! They also laid out candles all around and we had the gazebo to ourselves - All day menu which allows you to order anytime. They also accommodated our request as we were looking for bacon for brekkie - Some Staff were friendly. Even the italian mums who could only speak italian would try and communicate to us and explain what they were cooking
