More than a century of history.
If a few months ago we told you that a castle had been restored in the Puglia-Salento region, in southern ** Italy **, now we are talking about a palace. No, it is not by chance that architectural jewels like these are found in this region, the coast bathed by the Adriatic and the Ionian is one of the most elegant and peaceful in the country.
On this occasion we traveled to the heart of the town of Gagliano del Capo characteristic for its courtyard houses, its squares and for the international art exhibition ** Carpo d'Arte **.
The reason is the highly anticipated opening of the Palazzo Daniele, a nine-suite property housed in the 150-year-old former palace owned by artistic philanthropist Francesco Petrucci.
Imagine monastic beds, high ceilings, small piazzettas, and frescoes that hiss the secrets of three styles: neoclassical, baroque, and Byzantine.
A new palace to get lost in Puglia.
The restoration has preserved the structure but has dispensed with the interiors, now endowed with a unique modernity and minimalism. The palace was originally built in Italy in 1861 by the architect Domenico Malinconico , and it was with a marked neoclassical style, especially in its patios and exuberant Mediterranean gardens.
Now it opens its doors with a renovation by the award-winning Milanese design studio Palomba Serafini Associati. And what is your current appearance? The result are 9 suites between gardens , quiet patios and an outdoor pool that manage to blend in with the center of Gagliano del Capo.
The rooms with vaulted ceilings They measure between 25m2 -the junior suite- up to 130m2, -the master suite-. Almost monastic beds, custom-made wardrobes, frescoes in the rooms and bathrooms with ceilings up to 6 meters high, as well as showers designed by the artist Andrea Hall form the new Palazzo Daniele.
Rooms that are works of art.
Without a doubt, the Master Suite and the Apartment Suite seem to take the cake. The first aristocratic-style space has, in addition to numerous works of art, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private kitchen; while the second with its 200m2 has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, living room and private kitchen.
Palazzo Daniele has belonged to the Petrucci family for five generations, which is why not a single iota of its collection of art and sculptures has been lost.
The Palazzo Daniele was built in 1861.
