Palazzo Vaglio Relais

Overview

Located in Nardò, near the Cathedral and the entrance to the historic center, Palazzo Vaglio is certainly one of the most romantic buildings in the city, one of the few that retains the charm of the Bourgeois residences of the late nineteenth century. The spacious and comfortable rooms and suites have a 5 meter high ceiling, and the typical star and pavilion vaults, used in the constructions of Salento. The focal point of the building is the skylight (Lucernario) that illuminates the purple grit stairs. The staircase on the second floor leads to the terrace, the perfect place to enjoy the view of the domes of the Duomo and the Neretine churches with a glass of Primitivo. ​Inside the halls of the Palace, a collection of paintings is exhibited, the result of a fascinating 'on-going' collaboration with local collectors. The sound environmental awereness of the family, has pushed towards innovative and sustainable renewal design choices, using passive strategies such as solar energy, regenerated water and local natural building materials, in order to significantly reduce, or eliminate, the negative impact of the building on the environment. The idea is to create a Guesthouse in the wonderful and lively baroque town of Nardo, where guests can meet and appreciate the local taste and tradition, and at the same time be located 3km away from the prestigious Marine resorts of Nardò, from the park of Porto Selvaggio and 15 minutes from Gallipoli.
