Palazzo del Corso Gallipoli

Built in the mid 1800's in the heart of Gallipoli, for over a century Palazzo del Corso served as the elegant residence of members of the local noble classes prior to its transformation in exclusive five star luxury hotel.

The décor of the hotel is testimony to the building's aristocratic past; the rooms of the Palazzo adorned with the precious stone of Lecce and Carparo, ornate frescoes, and a number of authentic 19th century furnishings and artwork. Soft drapes, lavish textiles, and a careful selection of stylish accessories feature in the hotel's wonderfully romantic bedrooms. The luxurious Junior Suites, complete with magnificent four poster bed and comfortable sitting area, provide the perfect accommodation for honeymooners. The rooms of Palazzo del Corso's Grand Suite are distributed on two levels and open out on to a large private balcony affording magnificent views over Gallipoli and out towards Puglia's deep blue sea.

Even more breathtaking views can be enjoyed from the heights of the hotel's Roof Garden; a fabulous space where to bathe in the Italian sun and relax in the warm waters of the Jacuzzi. Those wishing to take in a dip in the Mediterranean sea, will be pleased to know that the hotel has obtained special conditions for its guests at all of the area's most exclusive bathing establishments. An attractive function room is available for small scale meetings and social events.

Hotel Palazzo del Corso is situated on Gallipoli's main street, the Corso Roma, which connects the center of the city with the historic heart of Gallipoli, built on a small limestone island and linked to the mainland via a bridge in the vicinity of which one also finds the tourist harbour.

The closest airport is that of Brindisi, just 60kms from the hotel. Those travelling by car should take the A14 motorway as far as Bari from where to follow indications to Lecce and then Gallipoli. An occasion to discover the art, traditions, and culture, the sea, beaches, and countryside of this spectacularly beautiful part of Puglia.
