Itineraries
Palazzo Papaleo is not only superior comfort and relaxation in the enchanting bay of Otranto, it is also involvement. The hotel will put together unforgettable itineraries, customized just for you.
In southeast Puglia, the Salento peninsula extends from Soglia Messapica to Santa Maria di Leuca, between the Gulf of Taranto and the Otranto Canal: surrounded by so much beauty, but without reliable references, navigating can be difficult: you will be advised on where to eat, how to get around, museum hours, customs and habits, or you will be accompanied on an exclusive and personalized themed tour!
Do you enjoy hiking? Hotel Papaleo can suggest the most charming paths along the coast to pristine bays, crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches. If you are a diving expert, you can go to the Cape of Otranto, the easternmost point in Italy with its rugged coastline, dotted with towers and full of fascinating underwater caves.
Discover Lecce with its history, culture, the characteristic Leccese Baroque of the Basilica of Santa Croce, and its popular bars. The staff at Hotel Palazzo Papaleo is available to suggest the best walking routes in its stupendous historic center.
Hotel Papaleo recommends Galatina: after visiting the splendid frescoes in the Basilica Santa Caterina, the intimate Franciscan church in this city of important wine production, and an appreciated destination for those passionate about art, you can have dinner in an excellent partnered restaurant of the hotel, and taste the fantasy of Salento cuisine.
Palazzo Papaleo is housed among the mazes and streets of Otranto, and will be happy to guide you on the best tours of this ancient, fortified Eastern outpost, with its ramps leading to the sea, the wall and the immense size of the Aragonese castle.
Among the infinite possibilities offered by this splendid place in the Mediterranean is an unforgettable boat trip, to see the caves of the characteristic and malleable Lecce stone, with which, in the land of Otranto, dolmen and menhir were made, as well as statues, Roman constructions... and today souvenirs and splendid works of art. The opportunities are endless, and the professionalism and availability of Hotel Palazzo Papaleo are great, so that you can make the best of these marvelous itineraries.
