Palazzo Presta

Gallipoli, Italy
Map
A design destination, rooftop venue, and culinary hotspot all in one! The rooftop terrace with ocean views and the fine-dining restaurant in the historic palazzo create an ambiance usually found only in urban design hotels—but here, it blends seamlessly with the romantic charm of a southern Italian old town. The consistent design aesthetic runs through every room.
