Why It Matters
Gallipoli's sole 5-star hotel. Rooftop hydrotherapy pool and gourmet restaurant on the same terrace, both with harbor panoramas. The hotel also offers exclusive private yacht tours on a Mochi Craft Dolphin 44, and sources produce from its own organic farms (Masseria Ogliastro) for the restaurant.
Palazzo del Corso is the only 5-star hotel in Gallipoli, built from two painstakingly restored 19th-century noble residences sitting on Corso Roma, just 100 meters from the 17th-century limestone bridge that connects the mainland to Gallipoli's historic island old town. Fourteen individually designed rooms spread across two distinct wings — the older Ravenna building leans into timeless leather, carparo stonework, and original fresco paintings, while the Provenzano building goes bright and modern with white marble and sleek furniture. The rooftop does the heavy lifting: a hydrotherapy pool, solarium, and the DolceVita restaurant all share that same terrace with sweeping harbor views.
