Couldn’t have asked for a better hotel
We loved like stay at Palazzo Presta. A beautifully decorated hotel right in the heart of Gallipoli with a lovely roof terrace for drinks and where breakfast is served. The view was beautiful, the staff were attentive and have great recommendations for dinner. We recommend everyone to stay here

My partner and I stayed for a week at Palazzo Presta. Everything about the hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with stunning interior decor. Our room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The bed was super comfortable; the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The roof terrace is lovely, affording a fantastic view of the sea. But what makes this hotel so special is the people: Eugenia, the owner, and Samuel and Ilena, the receptionists, made us feel very welcome and at home. They helped us with our itineraries and were always ready to help and advise us. Ilaria and Cristina, at the breakfast bar, also welcomed us every morning with a lovely breakfast; and the chamber maids made our room spotless every day. Palazzo Presta really is a wonderful place to stay in Gallipoli. Grazie mille e tante Palazzo Presta!

Hotel changed date w.out consent and charged fully
I did book a stay in the hotel 4 months prior arrival. One week before I was informed that they have cancelled my reservation and replace with new dates (w.out my consent). So I had to book another hotel on short notice and higher cost. To make the thing worse the hotel still charged me for the room. So I can only warn you about this hotel as you might find yourself paying for a room you did not book!

Oase in der Altstadt von Gallipoli
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Palazzo Presta. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und bekamen gute Tipps und Ideen für die Besichtigung von Gallipoli. Unser Zimmer war sehr ansprechend gestaltet, verfügte über alle nötigen Annehmlichkeiten, ein bequemes Bett und eine Terrasse mit zwei Liegebetten. Das Frühstück und Abendessen im Hotel waren ausgezeichnet, in der Nähe gibt es aber auch viele gute und ansprechende Restaurants. Das Hotel verfügt auch über eine sehr ansprechend gestaltete Bar auf der Dachterrasse. Der vom Hotel empfohlene Parkplatz (Parcheggio Porto) ist Fuss gut erreichbar. Gerne kommen wir wieder einmal und empfehlen das Hotel weiter!

Fancy Hotel an sehr guter Lage
Ein sehr modernes Hotel mit sehr cooler Einrichtung. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, nur ein bisschen dunkel und der Schlafraum eher klein. Bzw. nahm das Bett den meisten Platz weg. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut und die Dachterrasse ein echter Hingucker. Das Personal war stets sehr hilfsbereit und half auch gut mit Strand- und Restaurantempfehlungen. Die Lage war ideal – nah zum öffentlichen Parkplatz, zum Strand und zur Altstadt.

Attenzione dependance non segnalata
Siamo stati alloggiati in una dependance lontana circa 300 metri dal vero palazzo Presta. Questa dependance sebbene accettabile non aveva le rifiniture della struttura principale ed era alquanto scomoda dato che la colazione veniva servita nel struttura principale. Nel momento della prenotazione non viene specificato la possibilità di essere alloggiati in una depandance cosa che dovrebbe essere chiaramente segnalata. Il roof top bar (situato struttura principale) era chiuso per Covid e nemmeno questa informazione è segnalata nel sito di prenotazione.

Esperienza unica!
Abbiamo soggiornato presso Palazzo Presta per 5 notti ed é stata una sorpresa positiva: il personale é stato cordiale e gentilissimo oltre ad essere molto disponibile. La nostra camera era una suite ispirata ad un bazaar, con due letti singoli ed un matrimoniale; la stana era spaziosa, luminosa ed accogliente, i letti comodissimi e la tv dotata di Youtube e Netflix (olte a PrimeVideo e tante altre piattaforme) idem il bagno, spazioso e dotato di una fantastica doccia. La pulizia é stata anch'essa impeccabile e giornaliera. La colazione é abbondante, sia dolce che salata e con una vasta gamma di scelta, ovviamente di ottima qualitá e la terrazza dedicata ad essa raffinata e confortevole. Inoltre il solarium al terzo piano era un ottimo luogo in cui riposarsi dopo una giornata di mare oppure un ottimo punto in cui guadare le stelle e il panorama della costa del Salento. In conclusione é stata una permanenza davvero piacevole, sicuramente da ripetere in uno dei posti piú belli della penisola italiana. Davvero complimenti ancora! All'hotel ci siamo sentiti come a casa!
