We loved everything!

Our room was fabulous - clean spacious and comfortable. The facilities were amazing - lots of places to sit and relax with lots of shade. We loved the table tennis! Breakfast was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!

Communication from the hotel in advance was excellent, which was a good sign. The staff are charming and helpful. This is such a tranquil spot with good facilities , pool, hot tub , extensive gardens , car parking, on site bar and restaurant There's even a small spa. A really well run hotel.

Nothing to dislike, just to let you know that it is a small village that is very quiet and a car would in my opinion be essential to visit local towns and beaches.

All of the staff were exceptional! Especially Francesca and Elizabeth who went out of their way to help with our stay, suggesting places to visit with best places to park, best beaches to visit and even organised a venue for us to watch a rugby World Cup match which was a great bonus. The place itself was like an oasis behind the tall wooden doors on the quiet village square. A beautiful building with so many facilities onsite, including a pool, bar, restaurant, solarium on the roof with a jacuzzi. A lower level spa room and gym facilities available. We got to make our own pasta then eat it in the restaurant later on in the evening which was great fun. A relaxing experience in a beautiful environment!

Depending on wind, noise carried from nearby towns; market on Fridays was small and not very interesting. Need to drive outside town for things to see.

Beautiful palazzo complete with gym, restaurant, massages. Freshly made cakes every morning and espresso/wine honesty bar. Hotel able to organise boat trips and taxi at short notice.

Mattress was a bit soft for hubby.

Entrance magical with the beautiful trees. Trees and plants around pool lovely; fresh cakes every morning and honesty wine and espresso bar very welcome! Gym looked well equipped although we didn’t use it!

A fabulous hotel with a very nice pool and restaurant onsite. The staff were amazing, so thoughtful and kind. This is a little secret in a beautiful setting, in an idyllic village, 1 km from the beach

nothing at all!

Lovely boutique jewel of a place which is a concealed paradise. The staff went beyond the helpfulness we expected - throughout our stay. My husband became sick (needed surgery urgently) and the staff were really lovely and even did not charge us when we had to cut our stay short - which we did not expect at all - so we will be back and sing their praise to anyone who might visit this area! Breakfast also nice, room amazing. Staff just exemplary

Nothing, everything and everyone was lovely

Lovely tranquil escape with delicious breakfast and relaxing pool space. access to a great restaurant and big spacious rooms. Francesca was so helpful and kind she made it such a special short trip

As much as it was a lovely setting, it was a little bit in the middle of nowhere so a car is definitely needed.

A really special place with very friendly and welcoming staff, Francesca on arrival was particularly helpful. The surroundings were amazing.

A hidden gem. Lovely old palazzo in a small town that is close to the coast and a great base for exploring the region. Beautiful - outstanding breakfasts, honesty bar for wine and coffee the staff are all gorgeous and incredibly helpful- Francesca organised us wine tasting and transfers, a dinner reservation at local restaurant and Rosa was a patient pasta making tutor. Christina and Roberta also very warm and friendly- would highly recommend as an addition to puglia travels

There is nothing to do in the town itself, but with a car there are lots of possibilities not far away.

The grounds, the staff, the generous breakfasts in the garden. There are some nice swimming options close by.

Can't say I can fault anything.

Converted palazzo in little town, slightly off the beaten track near Castro. Breakfast was included and a lovely local spread. The food was excellent & always a delicious cake, tart & homemade bread every morning. Especially loved the Torta della Nonna. We really enjoyed making pasta one day and having the fish BBQ too. The pool was lovely and rooms all centred around lovely garden and roof top places to sit and drink. Shout out to Francesca on reception and Pietro in the bar! Used the bicycles to roam around. Castro a 10 min drive away... perfect location. Easy to visit amazing beaches like Porto Miggiano or Bagno Marino Archi. Relaxed place & would definitely go back. Friendly.

There really was nothing that we didn't like, only that small negative of the slightly over-firm bed mentioned previously.

What a lovely place! Firstly, the welcome from Francesca was fantastic! What a very warm and helpful person. In fact, all the staff at Palazzo Guglielmo were excellent. The place is characterful with a great range of facilities e.g. pool, spa, bar and is really spacious such that there was always a range of choices of places to sit in the gardens or on the roof terraces. Our room was so big and spacious! It was beautifully done and very clean. The only small negative was that we felt that the bed was a little too firm. We found Vingacastrisi to be a charming, sleepy sort of place. The staff in the pizza takeaway were friendly and helpful and the nearby gelateria served lovely ice cream. Okay, it's not right on the coast with views out to sea, but there are so many beaches within a short distance, the nearest of which, Castro, is less than 10 minutes by bicycle. Talking of which, Guglielmo offers the loan of a selection of bikes free of charge, and better still it cost just €3 to have an e-bike for half a day, which made the cycle back uphill from Castro an absolute breeze! We loved the breakfast area and there was an exceptional choice of food.

The bed was short and the pillows of very bad quality (not comfortable at all) for this level of accommodation. Our room was big and the air-condition was not strong enough to cover the surface so unfortunately it was too warm in the room. the windows were also giving on the main street and square of the town so it was way too loud, and also we could hear the entrance door of the Palazzo all the time, so for all that we never had a good sleep during our stay which is really unfortunate cause the place is great.

The place is beautiful inside and out, with a lot of amazing facilities like swimming pool, rooftop jacuzzi, spa, ping-pong. You can also use bikes and book some other activities like cooking class. The staff is very, very nice and flexible. The proximity of Castro is great. The breakfast was very good as well.
