vacation in Salento encompassing design, art and history
In the oldest part of Gallipoli, between the Castle and the ancient Spanish border walls, Palazzo Salapolis is a former grand Bourbon residence, containing fully furnished apartments recently renovated, spread over three floors.
The unique apartments were created respecting their original configuration, according to the inspiration of designer Francesco Oliveti, in collaboration with Marcello Barba. Located in the historic old city only a short walk from the cathedral “il Duomo”, the Purità beach and via Antonietta de Pace, among ancient streets and timeless charm.
Amazing vaulted ceilings, original palladian floors from the 1600’s and cement tiles from the early 1900’s with geometric and floral motifs, along with furniture and “objets de vertu” designed by Salamastra combine to create a “Cabinet of Curiosities” baroque-mediterranean style and are special ingredients for a unique stay in Gallipoli.
