A 15th century palazzo, reborn as an intimate collection of six luxury suites on the Adriatic.
Six uniquely designed luxury suites, crowned by a panoramic terrace and heated rooftop pool overlooking ancient church cupolas and the sparkling sea beyond.
Set within Polignano a Mare, one of Italy's most iconic coastal towns, The Duchess is an intimate hideaway shaped by sea, history, and romance.
We carry the torch forward with deep respect preserving its character while inviting a new generation of travelers to slow down, reconnect, and experience life in Puglia.
No two rooms are alike. Each holds its own character. The intention was not to create rooms, but a feeling you step into.
We can help curate experiences like private vineyard tastings, olive grove wanderings, cooking classes and cultural tours, so you can go full local. Below, the everyday comforts of the house.
Oppure, just steps from the property, is Polignano's favorite breakfast spot, and our first recommendation of the day.
A heated pool, sun loungers and panoramic terrace overlooking the old town and the Adriatic.

Glorious stay!!!! A true five star property. The design is ultra elevated and unique. It's in the heart of it all… amazing especially if you have already done Positano and Capri. We had the most romantic time.
A new favorite stay in Italy, really made our trip to this region amazing. Feeling lucky we found it, really luxe, beautiful. Right in the center with the best spots just steps away. And the famous beach here, just a 3 min walk from the property. My girlfriend was so happy. Thank you Duchess, we felt really cared for.
I expected this place to be beautiful and it was even more than I expected. Absolutely stunning place. If you're even considering this place, please, book it now. You will not regret it.
The place is a decorator's dream. The location is absolutely the best. I really hope I will be back again in this area and I would definitely stay here again if it's available.
Absolutely stunning, right in the centre of the action and fitted with luxury amenities throughout. We would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. Not cheap, but worth every cent. 5 stars.
Wow what an unbelievable find. Right in the heart of the action is the most gorgeous place imaginable. Impeccably designed and clean. We are so lucky and happy!

The rest of Puglia, from your doorstep. Thirty minutes from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport.
