With 6 capacious double bedrooms and 1 suite set across the 1st floor of the 18th-century building, this stylish retreat boasts original frescoes and flawlessly blends classic with contemporary.

Cupids (Amorini), on the other hand, features a fireplace made from local stone Pietra Leccese and paintings from the Neapolitan school adorn the walls. Look up and be wowed by cherubs and winged cupids decorating the ceiling. All guestrooms benefit from sizeable, modern bathrooms.

Only when you book with ChiccheckWelcome drinkcheckRoom upgrade (subject to availability)checkEarly check-in / late check-out (subject to availability)Built way back in the 1700s by the merchant Francesco Circolone from Maglie, various members of the family resided at the Poggiardo-based property over the years. Renovation works transformed the building into what it is today: an elegant place to eat, drink, and stay. Situated in southern Italy’s Puglia, Palazzo Circolone houses 7 large bedrooms, a big hall divided into a library filled with many books and TV area, a bar, and a restaurant.
Outside in the enclosed courtyard you’ll find a pretty garden and a swimming pool: surrounded by a citrus grove and climbing plants, enjoy this secluded spot on the comfy sunbeds. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff readily on hand to assist.
Dining
Breakfast is served on the ground floor of the beautifully restored property: enjoy the likes of cured meats, fresh bread, granola, and homemade pastries – inside, or out on the terrace among the citrus trees.
The bar area – Il Cittadino – will draw you in with appetising local delicacies and cocktails. For something more substantial, there’s La Piazza, the on-site restaurant plating up modern twists on Salento classics in an atmospheric orange grove garden setting. And there are plenty of places to eat in and around Poggiardo, including Mediterranean Caffe Borghese and seafood eatery La Casa Dell'Angelo, while slightly further afield, there are a handful of Michelin recommended spots such as Roots Trattoria and Belami.

Activities
Relaxing by the pool and taking the occasional dip may be exertion enough, but if you’re keen to see the area, why not head out on two wheels – bikes are available for free. Or explore on foot if you’d prefer: sights include the ancient crypt of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Archaeological Museum of Vaste. Beach lovers should take a trip to a nearby coastal town – there are several within 10 kilometres. Porto Miggiano in Santa Cesarea Terme is a picturesque U-shaped bay surrounded by cliffs (the neighbourhood is also known for its hot mineral springs). Or check out Porto Badisco, a secluded cove south of Otranto – take a picnic, and enjoy it in the shelter of the nearby pine grove.
