A five-star luxury “historical monument” turned hotel, with nine contemporary suites encased within the ancient walls. Full Concierge service organizing bespoke activities to explore Salento with privileged access. On the outskirts of the town, olive groves that extend beyond sight, surround the most beautiful Italian coastlines, from the white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, over to the cliffs and grottos of the dramatic Adriatic coastline.

Beyond the hotel, the Castello houses Puglia’s destination for culinary excellence, the Puglia Culinary Centre. The Centre is much more than an Italian cookery school. The state-of-the-art kitchens, housed in the transformed storehouses, attract future aspiring chefs and amateur food enthusiasts alike. Tailored cooking classes emphasise cultural roots, a no-waste approach, seasonal farm-to-table ingredients, and are available year-round. Dive into the eno-gastronomy of Puglia and Italy accompanied by our passionate chefs.
