Palazzo Ducale Venturi - Luxury Hotel & Wellness

I recently stayed at Palazzo Ducale Venturi in Minervino di Lecce, and it was an exceptional experience. The historical charm of the palace is beautifully complemented by modern comforts. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure our stay was perfect. Our room was elegantly furnished, offering both luxury and relaxation. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh local produce served in a stunning dining area. The grounds, including the serene courtyard and inviting pool, provided a peaceful retreat. The location is ideal for exploring the picturesque region of Salento, with many hidden gems recommended by the helpful staff. Overall, Palazzo Ducale Venturi offers a unique blend of history, luxury, and excellent service. I highly recommend it for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

The personnel are outstanding. Specifically the general manager. She truly cares about her work. Made us feel like family and just felt very natural and authentic. I think her stamp is felt on most of the personnel and throughout the hotel. The hotel is authentic and has a cool history and is very detail oriented. Everything is tastefully done without making it frou-frou. We asked for a dinner at the restaurant the first night and the waiter was amazing as well as the food. The second nigh we had a romantic dinner organized in their private garden and they just went above and beyond with every detail, from the candles, to the flowers, to the music and the food! They even planned a really sweet surprise! The room was nicely decorated and spacious. Swimming pool area is nice and really calm and private. The breakfast was really good, very home made and fresh.

Beautiful property with very friendly and helpful staff that aim to please. Absolutely stunning large pool with a lovely garden surrounding it. Terrific customer service from a staff that really goes the extra mile to make sure everything is to your satisfaction.

The staff was absolutely incredible. Especially the concierge/reception staff was so welcoming, helpful, pleasant, they went the extra mile all the time - a true example to follow for any 5 star hotel, this was the best service Ive bad in years. The place is beautiful, the room was large, the pool was nice, the facilities were great

Superb staff. Excellent facilities. Wonderful repurposing of a monumental building. Excellent food at the restaurant.
