We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was super nice, we had partial sea view and saw the ocean from bed - which I also must say was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve slept in. Really nice details in the room and it felt really luxurious, as did the whole hotel including the lobby, hallways and rooftop. Also probably the best air conditioner on this trip (felt like a cold wall when you entered the room) and without a doubt the best breakfast buffet I’ve ever had traveling to Italy, we looked forward every morning to eat on the rooftop. Also everyone working there was really warm and welcoming!

We had a wonderful stay at i Bastioni San Domenico in Gallipoli. The breakfast was fantastic – fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented every morning. A special thank you to all the staff: they were so caring and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. The service was excellent throughout our stay. However, there were a couple of minor issues we noticed. Our room didn’t have bathrobes, so we had to ask for them at reception. Also, in room 19, the bathroom door and the shower door squeaked a lot. Despite these small inconveniences, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it to others!

Such a beautiful aesthetic and beautiful we loved our room! The breakfast was incredible! All of the staff were lovely and helpful with any questions/things we needed throughout our stay, we absolutely loved it! The rooftop was amazing - especially at sunset time! Everything was very clean and location was incredible!

There was some noise at night as we were on ground floor of cars/people walking past window (even some fireworks that jolted us out of bed), however - not much the hotel can do about this - more just down to the great location!

Nice toiletries and very clean rooms. Nice firm bed with a nice softer topper. Very very good water pressure and temperature for hand and rain shower. Location was great for food and visiting old town. Off peak season had the ZTL off and one could park right up front of the hotel. Very nicely decorated hotel. Gave us a room upgrade to one with balcony over seeing the pedestrians. nice receptionist that always greeted us and great ladies who served us at breakfast. Breakfast selection was wonderful, especially the bruschetta and fresh fruits (persimmon) was a plus. There is a mini mart around the corner.

Parking is scarce and would probably have to wait till 4pm after the lunch crowd to find a slot. Could provide free water during our stay, the only hotel that didn’t provide us water. Otherwise, could leave the water dispenser at the cafe available for self refill.

Absolutely amazing location and the room and spaces were beautifully decorated. The roof terrace for breakfast was a dream and the staff both on reception and serving breakfast were utterly charming and helpful

We had originally booked a cheaper room with a city view. When we were shown it, it was on the ground floor, smelt mouldy and the view was of a wall. We therefore bit the bullet and paid for a room with a sea view which was amazing and worth every penny.

Nice location and elegant hotel in a historic building. Breakfast on the rooftop met our expectations.

Our room had only a small window, which made the room a bit claustrophobic. The thick walls of the old building were charming, but they did not let any wifi signal reach the room, and the bathroom would often smell quite mouldy

Everything about our two night stay was wonderful! From the moment we stepped inside we knew we were in a special place. Once a monastery, then a prison, this boutique hotel retains its historic character (including original cast iron prison cell doors!) while providing an upscale experience. Each corner and wall is graced with tasteful and inviting antiques; every floor has a sitting area where you can sink into a wonderfully welcoming velvet sofa. The staff are absolutely lovely and ultra helpful. Silvia at the front desk was so sweet and gave us excellent suggestions for where to eat, as well as running across the street to an affiliated restaurant to get baking soda and salt for the fresh red wine stain on my blouse (yes, it came out as a result!). And then there’s the breakfast buffet…wow! Absolutely delish! So much variety and top notch quality. The croissants couldn’t have been fresher if they had come directly from Paris. And to make it even more fantastic, they served it on their rooftop terrace on the second day we were there. What a spectacular view of the sea!

While we loved that our room was situated in the original historic part of the hotel, and its design was simple but serene, it felt a bit austere and dark. We had a small window that faced the interior courtyard so not a lot of natural light made it into the room. But hey, that certainly contributed to the sense of staying in a former monastery/prison.

Super delicious breakfast with lots of choices. Very service minded and helpful staff. Super good bathroom with lots of space in the shower area. At the edge of the old town - with lots of restaurants. Super view of the sea from the rooftop terrasse.

Our room was a bit more standard than I expected from the the pictures at booking.com No parking in the area - you are allowed to drop your bags off, but then you have to drive out of the historic area to park the car.

All was good. The ladies that were responsible for the wonderful breakfast were such a pleasure. Their attention to details of the food and also the service were great. The location of where the breakfast was amazing, it put the whole day off to a great start.

the WiFi in our room was less than good, even after the technician was sent to address it.

It is a very nice hotel - the room was very nice and also clean. The Staff was always very friendly and kind and also the view to the see is great - It this time of the year (31. Okt) it was even possible to go by car right in front of the hotel and there were also free parking spaces on the street, very close (this is not possible during the summer due to ZTL) We are already considering to come again next year.
