Palazzo Ducale Venturi - Luxury Hotel & Wellness

We have never stayed anywhere where the staff have been so kind and attentive. They were all exceptional and went out of their way to ensure our stay at the hotel was the very best it could be. Cannot fault anything - our two nights were magical and the hotel stunning. Unique and so peaceful. Perfectly located for a stroll into the town and for exploring the beautiful Adriatic coastline. Highly, highly recommend.

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.

Excellent hotel with fantastic staff where nothing is too much. The rooms are wonderful with large, comfortable beds. The breakfast daily was also great with a good choice of made to order meals. Although the local village is small the restaurants were fantastic especially Borgo Antico and the Michelin recommended Origano Cibo.

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!

The 3 days we spent in this exquisite historical palace, which has been perfectly restored into an elegant and luxurious complex, have genuinely been an unforgettable experience. We loved the room with its beautiful spacious bathroom, the frescoes gracefully decorating the ceilings and the walls, and the perfect mix between old and modern furniture. We enjoyed both the pool and the spa. We greatly appreciated the kind and constant attention of the personnel as well as the delicious meals (prepared with fresh local ingredients) by the chef. We hope to come back soon!

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
