Venue No. 025 | Puglian Monastery | 130 Guests

Set in a historic city just ten minutes from the beaches, the monastery has lived many lives over the centuries. It has been lovingly restored, keeping its history at heart while introducing contemporary comforts for a truly comfortable stay. Guests sleep in richly historic rooms across three interconnected palaces, each steeped in the culture and character of Salento.

For weddings and celebrations, the venue offers a private chapel attached to the monastery, and the charming city itself is dotted with several beautiful churches for additional ceremony options. The surrounding town is a timeless Baroque jewel, with quiet piazzas, local cafés, and easy access to both the coast and the countryside — it’s a place that feels completely authentic, where the pace of life is slow and the surroundings effortlessly cinematic.

The monastery offers accommodation with one apartment with a kitchen and ten suites. It is part of an Albergo Diffuso— a “scattered hotel” — where guest rooms and facilities are spread across different historic buildings within the town. Beyond the monastery, three other historic palazzo provide further accommodation in family apartments / rooms / suites, some with pools, while three villas outside the town each host 8–10 guests with private gardens and pools. There’s plenty of space for guests to stay in style for guests to stay in style while enjoying privacy and comfort.

This is a place for those who want to celebrate in a setting that combines history, charm, and understated luxury — perfect for a wedding, a family gathering, or an unforgettable party in the heart of Salento.
