5 Stars Hotels in Apulia, Italy

Very nice hotel, right by the sea. The room has a small balcony to see the sea blowing, very comfortable. Breakfast is on the sixth floor and it is also an unrivalled sea view. About ten minutes walk around, it is the central location of the local area. There are shopping malls, restaurants and bars, which is very lively. Take a taxi to the train station 8 euros.

A stunning hotel. Some rooms have a lovely view of Santa Croce. Extremely well located. Lovely staff. Santa Croce suite divine. Breakfast was superb. Great valet parking. Lovely bed. A lovely hotel that we would go back to. Not cheap but this is luxury - all the hotel meets luxury standards. Not cheap but very much worth it. We really enjoyed our stay. Cannot fault it really.

This beachfront property in San Foca is absolutely lovely. We booked for two nights at the end of our two week trip to Italy with the idea of relaxing on the beach after lots of sightseeing and it was absolutely perfect. The level of service at this hotel is excellent and something I wish many of the high end hotels in the US would return to. I would say there is an average of two hotel staff members to every guest. The hotel is very modern with beautiful, spacious rooms and bathrooms. We were on the second floor with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. There are two pools, one on the rooftop with and one on the first floor at the back of the hotel which was nice the day we arrived as it was windy and that one is sheltered more from the wind. There is also a pool at the spa but we did not visit the spa during our stay. We dined in the restaurant the first evening for dinner and the food and service were fantastic. We also elected to include breakfast each day in our stay and it was top notch. In addition to a huge spread of pastries and fruit, there cooked to order options from the menu included. And as with everything else, the service was quick and delivered with a smile. We also spent a day at their club, Mora Mora. The service was on point and the water and beach there are beautiful. It looks like the Carribean sea! We did not have a good meal at the restaurant there, however. We both ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was not good. The tuna was quickly seared outside but the inside was not cooked (as expected) and the color was not normal -gray brown instead of bright pink. It also had a very fishy taste so neither my husband or I ate it, fearing it may make us sick. We did not say anything to the waiter (my husband will never send food back!) so I'm not sure what they would have done, and the waiter did not comment on the fact that neither of us ate anything. The town of San Foca did seem a little sleepy and there are some storefronts that looked to be closed but we were there before the ”season” started so that may be the reason. The hotel itself is everything we expected and more. I can't over state the wonderful service we received from Alessia and the other team members. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return.

Great location Where of the excellent services Super helpful staff

Nice hotel, great environment.

This is a wonderful small hotel located right in the old town of Monopoli. Le location is ideal for restaurants and experiencing the town. We had a room overlooking the pedestrian street that was perfect for us. The room was spacious, very beautiful, comfortable bed and good shower. The hotel is inside the wall of the city and very special. The many narrow staircases might be difficult for some people. The breakfast room also so beautiful with great service. We were off season so the pool and rooftop restaurant were not open but we knew this and it was expected. The parking is difficult, we were given a narrow time slot for driving through the pedestrian town to the hotel where a staff took the car to the city street to park there. We had difficulty locating the hotel as there is a very small sign on a door that's it but this is part of the experience if you want to stay in the walled town. The staff was very efficient and professional. We highly recommend this hotel and we would stay there again if back in the area.

We booked Palazzo Colombo (which all of a sudden appeared to be owned somehow by Palazzo Presta), and first negative surprise that ONLY appeared AFTER the booking completion, is that breakfast is served in Palazzo Colombo , meaning you wake up and when its 45 Celcius under shade, you need to sweat walking almost 500m to the other building. The people that are at the reception (in both establishments) are seemingly polite at first glance but upon any special request, they need to ask the manager/owner , that prefers to be put of reach during weekend, meaning that if you request something on Friday, it is most likely you will (if at all) get an answer on Monday. In our case we got answer on Thursday, meaning 6 days later, when we were already 2 stops further away. Thats not nice. The breakfast is amazingly poor and none pays attention to your preferences even if you repeat it again and again (in italian) but instead they do what they are used to. In my case, they did not pay attention to a G6PD allergy and despite asking, they served inappropriate food that if i was not asking all the time , i d probably be already in hospital ER. The check out was a nightmare as we had to again go to the other establishment, none helping us with luggage, under 39 degrees celcius. Mind you that parking is another huge nightmare and you never know whether you ll find your car in tact, after spending probably 40 mins to find park place !! (Any time of the day) We are lucky to be travelling 15 days every month across europe and beyond, but never had such an experience so i thought i need to inform potential clients, as its not always the case that its part of the Italian south that is even sweet at times, as we stayed and we still are in an amazing establishment in Matera, but really, keep your money for elsewhere and dont spend it there, as the owners clearly only care to rip you off and not respect you as deserved. All in all : - front desk friendliness : 7/10 - overnight cost : 4/10 - value for money : 2/10 - relaxation mood : 3/10 - breakfast : 2/10 - facilities : 4/10 - parking 1/10 - accessibility for disabled : 0/10 - aftersales service : 1/10 All in all, there are way better establishments at an even lower price that you wont believe it. At that price range, Palazzo Colombo or Palazzo Presta should offer 5* service and not mediocre 2*.

Lovely hotel with great decor and fine rooms in the heart of this under-rated town of Galipoli. Short walk from the hotel across the bridge takes you to the old town of Galipoli on the shores of the Ionian Sea where excellent views and restaurants exist. The staff was outstanding and very helpful.
