Palazzo Vecchio welcomes guests in the heart of Marittima di Diso, located within the charming Palazzo Baronale Maglietta, a historic residence dating back to the 17th century. The interiors retain the authentic allure of the period, featuring antique furnishings and architectural details that narrate the long history of the building, which was once a noble residence and is now lovingly maintained by the Nuzzo family.
The common areas and guest rooms reflect the identity of the place: the Suite Luigi XIV, formerly known as "the mirror room," served as a parlor for convivial evenings filled with music and guests, while the current lobby evokes the building's former artisanal use related to tobacco processing. Outside, the expansive garden offers peaceful views among fruit trees and shaded spots, including a distinctive tower, the "cafausu," where coffee was once enjoyed in good company.
The property features an outdoor swimming pool exclusive to guests, an internal parking area, a relaxation room, and Wi-Fi access in common areas. Breakfast offers a rich and wholesome selection ranging from homemade pastries and yogurt to seasonal fruits, bread, artisanal jams, as well as savory products and local specialties, all accompanied by hot beverages and juices. Guests can notify the staff of any dietary needs prior to their arrival.
Located a short distance from the sea, the palace serves as an ideal starting point for exploring the Salento region, with its coastal landscapes and authentic traditions.
The location allows for easy access to the Adriatic coastline, known for its clear waters and picturesque coves like the Acquaviva inlet. Heading south along the coast leads to scenic routes that extend to Santa Maria di Leuca, while to the north, charming places such as Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme can be found, eventually reaching Otranto, with its historic center overlooking the sea and the expansive sandy beaches of the Laghi Alimini.
