WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
Palazzo Flora brings a more playful, design-led mood to Gallipoli’s old town, with frescoed ceilings, patterned tiles, bold colour and a small courtyard pool hidden just a short walk from the sea
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Palazzo Flora is tucked into Gallipoli’s old town, a few steps from Spiaggia della Purità and the Ionian Sea. Set inside a restored historic palazzo, it has a quietly theatrical feel, with patterned floors, high ceilings, soft colours, and hidden outdoor spaces that make it feel more like a private house than a classic hotel. The stay is shaped around the garden pool, the daytime bar, and easy walks through Gallipoli’s old lanes to the beach, harbour, churches, and restaurants. It works well for travellers who want a characterful Salento base with the sea close by and a slower old-town rhythm.
Our take on the stay
Bob
It suits travellers who want Gallipoli’s old streets, beach and restaurants close by, but prefer a stay with more personality than a classic seaside hotel
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A location in Gallipoli’s historic centre, just a short walk from Purità Beach, the Ionian Sea, the port and the old town’s restaurants
Historic interiors with frescoes, star-vaulted ceilings, patterned floors and local stone details, giving the house a strong sense of Salento character
A private outdoor pool in the garden courtyard, creating a rare quiet pocket inside the old town for slow afternoons and poolside drinks
A small scale of 10 individually designed rooms, including five suites, which keeps the atmosphere intimate and full of personality
Palazzo Flora’s daytime bar for snacks and cocktails, with access to the restaurant and rooftop bar at sister property Palazzo Presta nearby
A bolder design mood than many historic palazzi, with colour, art and playful details that make the stay feel fresh rather than overly traditional

Gallipoli, Puglia
Gallipoli sits along Puglia’s Ionian coast, a seaside town where the historic centre rises from a small island connected to the mainland by a stone bridge. Life here moves between narrow limestone streets, fishing boats, lively piazzas, and some of the clearest beaches in the Salento region. Palazzo Flora is set within the old town, surrounded by sunlit alleys and the warm coastal atmosphere that defines Gallipoli.
