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.

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.

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.

Everything was great. The people at check-in were so nice. The room was great, and the view was amazing. The women running breakfast were so accommodating since we didn't have time to sit and eat. Adele helped us with a boat tour that was excellent. There was another women who helped us with our safe/passport problem. Which we are grateful for. However, I can't remember her name. A big thank you!

That we had to leave.

Our room overlooked the Gallipoli sea. It was a very comfortable and spacious bedroom. Breakfast on the rooftop was a special treat. The hotel is very charming. Several good restaurants are nearby. A parking spot was provided by the hotel with a designated driver to help go to the parking garage.

We took a boat tour with the help of the hotel concierge. I just hope they'd d offer a better provider, with better boats. I also found the port area to be very dirty. It was the first time I saw so much dirt in Puglia. They should force the municipality to keep tourist areas in better shape.

Great location overlooking the sea in the old town, beautifully modernised, lovely roof terrace for the excellent breakfast. Exceptional, friendly and helpful staff.

No parking in old town, though hotel gives 10 minute permit for unloading/loading luggage, then you have to park outside the old town. The hotel offers a fee-paying space in a private garage 900 metres away, but parking spaces very narrow and hard to manoeuvre into, so we found it easier to park on a meter on the quayside and top up during our stay.

The location is great, close to everything. The terrace views are amazing, would be good to have a small bar there or have breakfast serve there. The staff very friendly and always helpful. Lobby is lovely.

Breakfast was okay, but could be better. I honestly prefer to have something in a local coffee shop.
