Palazzo Leuzzi B&B  

In Galatone, a short walk from the town center and minutes from the Sanctuary of the Santissimo Crocifisso della Pietà and the Museum of the Sea; this pet-friendly bed & breakfast also sits near Castello Acquaviva and the local welcome center.

Small and stylish with just four air-conditioned rooms, each room features memory-foam comfort, soft luxury sheets, flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower and bidet. Take breaks on the terrace or in the garden, and ride the elevator straight to your quiet, well-kept hideaway.

Grab a drink at the on-site bar, browse the library or picnic in the garden; the tour desk can book local excursions and transfers. On-property perks include a terrace, free self-parking, laundry service and even a doctor on call — plus an available roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a public computer station keep you connected, with express check-out and multilingual staff to keep things smooth.

Buffet breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM for a fee, room service runs during limited hours, and the bar is handy for evening pours and casual meet-ups.
