Palazzo Ducale Venturi - Luxury Hotel & Wellness

While planning the perfect trip to Puglia, we wanted to enjoy beautiful beaches and the charm one could find within the walls of ancient villages. 19 mins from Ottranto are italys beautiful beaches… and a hidden gem Palazzo Ducali Venturi. Staff are wonderful, making your stay even more perfect. Grounds are stunning. 16 th century palace converted to luxury hotel! We enjoyed Aperitivo by the pool everyday while our breakfast was generous and delicious. The staff and their management were generous with their time and made great suggestions for surrounding beach clubs and restaurants.

Palazzo Ducale Venturi is a great find in Puglia! The hotel is a luxury, the facilities are amazing! The room is very clean and comfortable and the staff is very hospitable! The pool area is wonderful and the hotel has one of the best breakfasts I have ever had! I really recommend staying there! I tell you all about the hotel on my IG: alessandrastockler

We absolutely loved our 3 nights at Palazzo Ducale Venturi! The staff was beyond fantastic - extremely attentive, kind, and truly take a ton of pride in providing the best service! Everyone was wonderful, but Daniele took care of us from breakfast until early afternoon every day and he was extra fantastic. The food was delicious and the beds and rooms are very comfortable. The hotel is stunning and very quiet and peaceful. We loved spending a full day on the grounds enjoying the gorgeous pool from breakfast until apertivo, the underground spa, and the gym. When we requested to use the bikes they prepared them for us and were waiting outside the hotel when we came down, we also booked the boat excursion in Otranto through the hotel (definitely highly recommend this as well) and when we went down to the desk to get our car keys the car was already pulled out in front of the hotel. We could go on and on about all of the great things, but if anything stands out it was the service and the attentiveness of the staff, absolutely unmatched! We were sad to leave but left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We cannot recommend spending at least a few nights here enough!

Beautifully restored former country manor. Loads of great details in the restoration including many beautiful and ancient frescoes decorating the ceilings and stunning artwork in the corridors. A very unique experience right from the fabulous original green entry door, with exceptionally helpful staff, beautiful meals, excellent spa and gym. There is a candlelit private hot pool that was originally an olive press tank that is bookable to ensure privacy. We had champagne brought to the hot pool. There are various coffee shops and restaurants nearby including the fabulous Ristorante Ficarigna in Specchia. Thank you to all who made our stay so memorable. The location is an excellent base to explore the area by cycling or car.

Situated in a renovated fortified house, this hotel has a lovely atmosphere with caring staff. The grounds include a garden and swimming pool with an outside bar. Meals are served outside, and the chef is top class

The hotel was really comfortable but the food options wasn’t great. The pool was magnificent and a great base for our bike ride. The town is quite depressing so this hotel is a real beacon in the area. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.
