If you don't have your own place in Puglia, Palais Gentile is like the next best thing. It's a cozy 18th-century palace in Matino, Italy, and it can only host a few lucky guests. Local craftsmen have done an amazing job restoring it, mixing the old and new. Think whitewashed walls, original tiles, and beautiful custom glass lights. You're not far from the beautiful beaches of Baia Verde, and you can catch a glimpse of the sea from the rooftop terrace.Picture yourself having breakfast with an ocean view or enjoying a sunset. If you're up for a little adventure, you can also explore nearby towns like Lecce, known for their Baroque architecture. The drive there takes you through picturesque farmlands and olive groves.
