Room was very comfortable and staff were attentive. The food was very good and the terrace with the plunge pool were very nice.
It’s a good location for exploring the old town. Great base for exploring.
Nice quiet time to visit in May. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially booking trips etc.
great central location, nice view over harbour.
Fab breakfast - nothing to complain about x
Hotel is lovely and the location perfect. Staff were exceptionally helpful with everything, including excellent restaurant recommendations. Easy walk to the old city, and parking in their lot a huge benefit. Highly recommend this hotel to get the most out of a visit to Gallipoli without having to navigate the old city streets with a car.
This hotel was so beautiful and clean. The hotel staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful! We loved our stay here and would gladly come back any day!
Outstanding hospitality from all the staff and super welcoming/friendly. The property itself has so much character not to mention the beautiful view as well as walking distance to the central area. Can’t wait to come back!
All hotel staff went above and beyond to make my stay excellent , absolutely nothing was a problem to the. They were helpful and on hand when required and discreet when needed. Would stay there again in a heartbeat
The hotel staff was amazing. I set up my bothers engagement there. From Alessia to Gloria, highly recommended. They make you feel like family. I will always go back.
5-star experience! We had a truly wonderful week at this beautiful hotel. The staff were absolutely amazing - attentive, polite, and kind at all times. They truly went above and beyond. The rooms were immaculately clean and of a very high standard. And the location was perfect. We couldn't have asked for more! Highly recommend
This is truly a one and 100 experience. They grace and strength of the people and staff of the facility in a most gorgeous location is hard to beat. The hotel is very well organized, and helpful and warm staff like Dunia, Francesca, Marta, Vincenzo, and all of the marvelous people of the truly private La Dolce Vita restaurant makes this a place of wonder.

Palazzo del Corso is a somewhat difficult hotel to review because, in many respects, it is an excellent property. Its location is ideal, just a short walk from the old town, and overall the hotel offers a very pleasant stay. Whether it truly deserves a five-star rating is another question.
The standout feature of the hotel is undoubtedly the staff. The breakfast team, particularly Mina and Jole, are genuinely caring, attentive, and highly professional. Breakfast itself is excellent and easily worthy of a five-star rating. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition; the rooms are clean, comfortable, and impeccably maintained throughout the stay. Kristina at the front desk was especially helpful and friendly, providing excellent recommendations for local restaurants and places to visit.
Our room featured a balcony with a sea view, although this was partially obstructed by a rather strange awning covering what appeared to be dead plants in a pot. An odd design choice that somewhat detracted from the otherwise attractive outlook.
The hotel’s biggest weakness is the apparent absence of effective management. As other reviewers have mentioned, if something goes wrong, do not expect a manager to proactively engage with you or attempt to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, there seems to be a culture of avoiding complaints rather than addressing them and ensuring g
Beautiful hotel, staff were lovely very professional and so helpful and welcoming. Location was very convenient to the old town and lovely beaches. Definitely recommend!
