When history and modernity
come together as one

The architecture of Palazzo San Vito is a subtle blend of historical charm and modern design. The meticulous 2024 renovation, led by architects Nicolo and Federica of Valari Architects, aimed to create an intimate and secluded retreat. Their priority? To harmonize spacious indoor and outdoor areas while preserving the convenience of village life, with cafés, grocery stores, and patisseries just a short walk away.

The layout was designed to offer privacy, with bedrooms positioned in each of the four corners of the property. The central courtyard was envisioned as a convivial gathering space, connecting spacious living rooms, a dining area, and an open kitchen that opens directly to the large garden and pool.

At the heart of the palazzo, the expansive garden—designed by landscaper Gabriele Fanuli—invites relaxation: a nap in the shade of a tree, a coffee by the pool… You could spend your entire vacation here without a single complaint!

A vacation
at the height of comfort

Inside Palazzo San Vito, you’ll find clean, elegant decor complemented by antique furniture and unique touches like plant arrangements crafted by Blomour, a botanical design studio.

Each of the four suites features a king-size bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring Puglia. One suite stands out with its private patio and outdoor shower—perfect for those who win the lucky draw to stay there!

The main room boasts a fully equipped open kitchen with modern amenities, while the dining area offers a direct view of the pool, blending functionality with scenic charm.

The heart
of the palazzo

With over 700 m² of lush green space to enjoy, the garden is truly the cherry on top. The 40 m² pool includes shallow areas, perfect for dipping your feet or reading a book while basking in the sun. The summer lounge, tucked beneath the shade of fruit trees, is an inviting spot to gather for a drink or a barbecue session.

For guests who choose to venture beyond this little paradise, the region offers plenty of options. Just five minutes from the baroque city of Lecce, Palazzo San Vito is perfectly located for exploring Salento. The nearby towns of Galatina and Tricase Porto provide authentic local experiences, while the Valle d’Itria, with its rolling hills and picturesque villages, is a must-visit. Craving a change of scenery? The crystal-clear waters and soft sands of Santa Caterina and Sant’Isidoro beaches are just a 20-minute drive away.

A stay
tailored to perfection

Guests at Palazzo San Vito can enjoy exclusive services designed to make their stay truly unforgettable. Start your day with a breakfast basket brimming with sweet treats, fresh bread, and fruit delivered straight to your door. For those looking to savor local flavors, a private chef can prepare traditional Apulian dishes, or you can join a cooking class to uncover the secrets of regional recipes.

Looking to elevate your relaxation? Arrange a workout with a personal trainer, followed by a soothing massage—the very essence of dolce vita!
