'Relais Corte Palmieri, a beautifully restored 18th-century residence, is nestled in the heart of Gallipoli's charming historic district. Surrounded by vibrant bougainvillea, this stunning property evokes the atmosphere of a Moroccan riad. Guests can enjoy breakfast featuring local produce and homemade pastries on the sun-drenched terraces, adorned with prickly pears, Jupiter's beard, and citrus trees. A short stroll from Purity beach and the city's renowned churches, the Relais offers convenient access to local dining and cocktails at sunset. It's an ideal base for exploring the Salento region's historical and cultural gems, including Lecce, Otranto, and Santa Maria di Leuca. '
