Overview
Located in Puglia, Palazzo Del Capo is an ancient, 17th-century palazzo lovingly restored to retain much of its original charm.
Bordered by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the southeast, Puglia is renowned for its splendid coastline framed by limestone cliffs and azure sea, as well as charming towns, delightful cuisine and rural landscape boasting hectares of vineyards which produce some of Italy’s most prized wines.
The villa breathes timeless elegance inside and out and can accommodate up to 12 people in 7 bedrooms. On the ground floor, guests can unwind in the living room, and your favourite meals can be prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. There are two double bedrooms on this floor. A large stone staircase leads to the first floor, with three bedrooms. There is a two-bedroom suite; one bedroom with a French bed and a communicating bedroom with two single beds. The third bedroom on this floor has a romantic balcony with a view towards the countryside and the sunset. The final bedroom – housed in an old barn – is on the stairs leading from the kitchen to the first floor and terrace.
On a hot day, why not cool down in the large swimming pool equipped with a hydromassage jet or relax on the sun loungers on the spacious terrace? Alternatively, wine and dine al-fresco in the garden. There is also a large terrace where you can admire romantic sunsets over the surrounding countryside.
When it’s time to venture outside the property’s grounds, stroll to the historic centre of Gagliano, which holds music and entertainment events in summer. Here you can find some restaurants and bars where you can savour southern Italy’s delectable cuisine. Alternatively, a short walk takes you to the nearest beach nestled among rocky cliffs, and there’s also a picturesque walking area from where to soak up stunning views.

Location
About the surrounding area of Palazzo Del CapoPalazzo Del Capo is situated at the southern end of the Salento peninsula in Italy’s heel in Puglia, just a stone’s throw away from the small commune of Gagliano del Capo.
This lesser-known area of Puglia is truly charming, with plenty of beautiful beaches, remote spots and sleepy villages.
Although there are restaurants in the centre of Gagliano, some can be found even closer to home, just a 10-minute walk in either direction. If you prefer to cook in the villa or need to stock up on treats, you’ll be pleased to know that the closest supermarket is also only a 10-minute walk away.
There are numerous other coastal towns to visit, with Faro di Santa Maria di Leuca just a 10-minute drive away. Full of ancient villas from the early 20th century, a new tourist port and a whitewashed lighthouse Faro di Santa Maria di Leuca, with 254 spiral steps to the top for views of the Greek coastline, it’s perfect for a wholesome day out.
Nature lovers can also explore the fascinating inlet of Il Ciolo, which is reachable from the centre of Gagliano through a fascinating nature trail and Pescoluse – with its stunning sandy beaches, watersports, beach bars and other amenities. Other spots worth visiting include Grotta di Novaglie, Porticciolo di Marina di Novaglie and Torre di Novaglie, all captivating and unique in their own way.
It’s just a 1-hour drive to Lecce, a city with plenty to do and see. It’s often dubbed the ‘Florence of the South’ perhaps for its Baroque buildings, lovely squares great for people watching, and Piazza del Duomo cathedral. No matter the day, strolling around the historic town and soaking up the architecture is a lovely experience, especially when standing in front of imposing buildings such as the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Cathedral of Lecce and Piazza Sant’Oronzo. Alternatively, visit one of the Roman amphitheatres or head to the Museo Sigismondo Castromediano museum, housing fossils, crafts and artworks from across several millennia of Salento region’s history and culture before tucking into the local delicacies (the Orecchiette pasta is amazing) in one of the trattorias spilling onto the pavement.
Brindisi is another city buzzing with life, just over an hour’s drive away. The old town is very charming, with many churches and landmarks, typical Italian houses, ambient restaurants and cafés. From the city’s port, you can jump on organised boat trips around the coast and ferries heading to Greece. On a hot day, you’ll be able to find beaches and coastal relaxing spots on the city's outskirts too.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesPuglia is an excellent location to travel with children. Plenty of beaches are nearby, some pristine and accessed by rocky paths, but most are safe and ready for children. Many sandy beaches close to Torre Pali, such as the Spiaggia Marina Di Salve and Spiaggia di Pescoluse, both with shallow waters great for first-time swimmers.
This part of the coast is also known for its ‘Grottos’ – interesting caves and rock formations which can be explored on land or from the comfort of a boat. The closest ones include Grotta Le Prazziche di Sotto and Grotta Aspro, with turquoise water and plenty of marine life, fantastic for snorkelling. The craggy landscape also offers abundant hiking and walking opportunities, with superb ocean views.
Alternatively, organise a day trip to Lecce, which boasts admirable Baroque buildings, family-friendly restaurants and cafés, and gelaterias. After a wholesome day exploring the ancient amphitheatres and buildings, head to the public gardens Giardini Pubblici Giuseppe Garibaldi – Villa Comunale to relax and enjoy a picnic in the shade of ancient trees.
