Maglie Palazzo Baronale Capece Hotels

"Starting with arrival - this hotel was “difficult”. Difficult to locate using Google Maps, parking was off-site (about a block away and unsecured). Our room was on the second floor - not only was there no elevator, but the stairs were literally from another century - stone, worn uneven with time. Absolutely no help with our bags. Did I mention it was complicated with pouring rain? Yeah, the “lobby” of this hotel is open-air, so the floors were puddles of water, steps were wet - well- they were outside! It was a relief to get inside of the room. The room itself was fine, comfortable enough, nice bathroom, but for me the inconveniences of this place outweighed the positives. There was a continental breakfast included which was nice, nothing special. You need to ask for your cappuccino to be “caldo” or it will come room temperature. The staff was pleasant enough - absolutely no complaints. We actually ended up checking out a day early! I definitely will be looking for another option next time we’re in the Maglie area. No value here based on the price. "

"From the moment we booked, this hotel was fab. The manager resoonded straight away when our plane was delayed, and reassured us our room would be held for us and someone would be available to let us in however late it was. The room was spacious, light and clean. They cleaned our room every day, and left clean towels when needed. Plenty of space to park, for free. The continental buffet style breakfast was always kept filled with fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, pastries, fresh bread, cooked meats, cheese, juice and lots of great cups of coffee! Daniel made our Americanos as soon as we arrived daily! The staff were all lovely and friendly. Beds were very comfy. The only slight niggle was a loose shower head. Outside was beautiful, with lots of flowering plants and fruit trees. The pool area was so pretty. It could benefit from a deeper clean of the pool, a bit sandy. But overall, we had a lovely, relaxing time. It was easy to drive to small villages and to the coast for days out. Local food was amazing at Kilo, amazing steaks, and at Prosit, fabulous little ice cream balls coated in chocolate. "

"Antonio and Nadia make your stay feel absolutely welcomed and well taken care of. They are attentive, knowledgeable about the region, ready to help out or give suggestions when you ask for them. The place is about 20-30min drive to most beautiful beaches, grotta/cave, different town centers, and is surrounded by dining options within walking distance. Nadia also presents great breakfast to pump start your day. We had the opportunity to celebrate my daughters birthday on our last morning here, initially I just asked Nadia and Antonio to help hide the ballon I got her until the morning, Nadia went above the way and baked her a heart-shaped cake, which was the most delicious and divine. She even learnt how to speak Happy Birthday in Mandarin, my mother toungue. I was so grateful for her kindness and love. To quote my daughter “this is the best hotel/bnb in the world”! Oh did I mention they also have cats? What more do you need for a cozy and vacation stay? "
