A one-of-a-kind boutique hotel in Gagliano del Capo, Puglia, Palazzo Daniele is a 11-suite artist guesthouse set in a 163-year-old aristocratic palazzo and former family residence. The hotel’s majestic yet minimalist interiors draw attention to the grandeur of the palazzo’s original frescoes and mosaic flooring, creating a dramatic canvas for the property’s contemporary art collection. Public spaces invite guests to relax, be it by the living room fireplace, in the spa and pool, in an open kitchen that adheres to ancient Salento and Apulian traditions, or with an aperitivo while listening to music in a sprawling courtyard garden of orange trees.

The journey from a family palazzo to a palazzo open to guests brought 11 glorious suites to life. Each is elegantly designed with high ceilings and a monastic spirit, offering views of the courtyard, the outdoor pool, or the charming town square. This place blurs the boundaries between art and practicality, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a timeless atmosphere while gazing at the sun and the essence of Gagliano del Capo, a tiny village located in Salento, at the southernmost tip of Italy.
