A 15th century palazzo, reborn as an intimate collection of six luxury suites on the Adriatic.
An intimate collection of six uniquely designed luxury suites in the heart of Polignano a Mare, crowned by a panoramic terrace and heated rooftop pool overlooking ancient cupolas and the Mediterranean.
Set within the white-stone alleys of a perfectly preserved old town, the palazzo offers stunning views of historic church cupolas and the sparkling sea beyond. We believe in unhurried mornings, considered detail, and the quiet luxury of life in Puglia.
