Beautiful design and great location if you want to experience a genuine Puglia Village life in high style. The rooms are lovely, the hosts are professional and always helpful. They did an amazing job in this unique architecture and the Palais is located but few meters away from a charming square with restaurants with contemporary yet local menus (Murusanza and Foscolo). Be mindful of the narrow streets and difficult accessibility though.

This is a real taste of local Italy! Matino is sleepy with just enough buzz in the evening! Palais Gentile is a delightful oasis of chic calm…It’s has a gorgeous roof terrace perfect for a cool glass of local fizz - the view is amazing!
