Another day in paradise – Palazzo Piccinno. A soft breeze rustled the banana tree leaves, the pool water gently rippled, quiet piano music floated through the air, and in the distance, church bells rang. Our final moments in paradise – peaceful, timeless, unforgettable. We spent five incredible nights at this beautiful palazzo in Apulia. The setting was stunning: a dreamy room full of italian character, a serene pool, and delicious, lovingly prepared breakfast each morning. What made this stay truly exceptional, however, were the two remarkable hosts. Marco and Richard. Warm, intuitive, mindful and endlessly attentive. They seemed to know what we needed before we did. Their care, attention, recommendations for restaurants and beaches were spot-on and made every day feel effortless and special. This palazzo doesn’t just offer beauty and comfort – it comes alive through the heart, energy and presence of its hosts and the people who surround it. Every day was truly another day in paradise -again and again. Gonna miss you both and your unique hand-written notes. We can’t wait to return.

Palazzo Piccinno is one of those places that stays with you. The building is beautiful, carefully restored and full of charm. The rooms are peaceful, clean, and feel very comfortable, with lots of thoughtful details throughout the whole property. What really made the stay stand out were the hosts, Richard and Marco. They were kind, welcoming, and truly cared about every part of our visit. You never feel like just another guest — they go above and beyond without ever being overbearing. The garden area is a lovely spot to relax, and the pool is a great bonus. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, served outside with a lot of care — just one more way they make your stay feel special. It’s the kind of place you look forward to coming back to. Calm, personal, and really well done.

We had an amazing stay at Palazzo Piccinno! From the very first moment, Richard welcomed us with a warm smile and a glass of wine, so kind, friendly, and genuinely attentive. He truly took the time to make us feel at home, pampering us with everything we could have possibly wanted and more. The breakfast was absolutely incredible, generous, delicious and beautifully presented. The palace itself is tastefully designed, with so much charm and elegance in every detail. Staying at Palazzo Piccinno wasn’t just about having a place to sleep it was a full experience. We truly felt spoiled and grateful. Highly recommended! And hoping to stay again!

The Palazzo is a slice of paradise in Apulia. It is beautifully stylish, with a lovely garden and pool area. The room was great (I didn't want to leave the bath tub), as was the delicious breakfast. However, the best part has to be Richard and Marco's hospitality. They make you feel as if you're guests in their home and shared so much knowledgeable of the surrounding area, including what to do and where to visit.

After an amazing and dreamy two-night stay at Palazzo Piccinno, we can say this is the best accommodation we've ever stayed at in Puglia. We have nothing bad to say, everything was perfect—the room, the pool, the breakfast, but above all—the people. Dear Richard and Marco, Thank you for your hospitality, your generosity, kindness, and patience. You have touched our hearts. We hope to see you again.

This hotel is the reason to come to Puglia! feel at home with five star service. A stunning hotel that you will probably take a picture of every time you go down the stairs because it is impossible to remain indifferent to the design. Thinking about all the smallest details. And most importantly, hosts that you won't meet anywhere else, the warm and amazing Richard and Marco are so attentive, recommend, help and always look and check if you need anything. An extraordinary experience. You will feel that you are the most important. A gem in the middle of a charming little town. Large, spacious, quiet and clean rooms, a stunning and pleasant pool with a good atmosphere. There is no warmer recommendation than this hotel. An amazing experience.

Everything has been thought through down to the last detail - the light, the scent, the music. The moment you enter this palazzo, you dive into another world and let go of your worries. But what really makes this place special are Marco & Richard. From the very first moment, they make you feel at home. We felt incredibly comfortable, cared for and protected. Even more than that. We felt as if good friends had invited us into their home. You also need to mention the incredible breakfast. Everything is so delicious. And Richard is really taking care of your preferences. You really can't put a price on this incredible experience! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

Leaving Palazzo Piccinno!

Everything at Palazzo Piccinno is excellent, Richard and Marco are the best hosts you could imagine, full of care and attention to details. We never experienced such a tailored service and we felt so lucky to have spent 5 days at this beautifully renovated Palazzo. Fragrances around the Palazzo are excellent, from the aromas in the lobby to the soaps, to the smell of fresh bedsheets. Breakfast is served with tasteful and visual delicacy, and a surprising quality of all the ingredients. The swimming pool at night followed by a chat around the fire...dreamy. 10 is quite not enough for rating Palazzo Piccinno. Thank you Richard and Marco for this wonderful experience !

Beautiful property, everything is done with so much attention to detail & style. The real differentiator is all the love and care from the owners Richard and Marco and the rest of the staff. Very personal, amazing breakfast (especially for Italy!), good coffee, comfy beds, nice pool to dip, the town was surprisingly nice also with a nice piazza and some bars.
