Karen Brown's video narration for the charming Hotel Palazzo Papaleo in the town of Otranto. As you travel down to the most southern tip of the heel of Italy in the area south of Lecce known as Salento, you will no doubt make a stop in the charming seaside village of Otranto of ancient origins.
To be able to capture the true essence of this timeless spot, linger a few days to at the Palazzo Papaleo where you will be treated like honored house guests.
The family residence within the historic center of town, adjacent the 11th-century cathedral, has been passed down to granddaughter, Francesca, a direct descendant of the aristocratic Papaleo family.
She and her amiable French husband, Marc-André, have taken on the challenge of offering high-level hospitality and service in an area just starting to develop in tourism.
The ancient palazzo has been completely renovated, producing 9 modernly-equipped bedrooms with many amenities and mosaic tiled bathrooms.
Two suites have a vaulted frescoed ceiling and loft and other rooms have an occasional antique piece or small balcony.
Breakfast is served in the formal living room or up on the rooftop garden where you have a full circle view of the port, enjoyed also from a hydro jet tub (massages and steam room also available).
Super informed hosts are intent on providing all possible services plus assistance on local itineraries from boat tours, wine or olive oil tastings, excursions to Lecce and smaller towns.
Take the time to explore this fascinating area of Puglia!
