What captures your imagination?🌅

Palazzo Piccinno has been selected for the @michelinguide Hotel Selection 2026 — and what a joy it is to be recognised for the work we do every day here in Parabita. For us, hospitality has always gone beyond a good night’s sleep. It is about connecting people. About being a bridge between a town that has so much to offer and travellers looking for authenticity, discovery and a sense of belonging.

We usually say that it takes a village to raise a child. And for this reason every joy is shared. So this recognition belongs to everyone who has supported us, worked alongside us, opened their doors to our guests, shared their stories, and believed in what we are trying to create here.
To our team, our friends, our neighbours, our partners and, of course, every guest who has chosen to spend a little piece of their journey with us — thank you.

This season, our Puglia Surrealista has unfolded through food, design, conversations and the people who brought their imagination into ours.

@cataldomarcoo has been one of those people. Through his cooking and the tables we’ve shared, a collaboration has grown into a friendship—and become part of life here.

On 17 October, we gather for Dinner Surrealista: a private evening to celebrate Marco, what we’ve created together and the closing of this surrealist chapter.

Around the table, familiar faces and friendships formed along the way. The kind of evening where the plates are cleared, another glass is poured and nobody is quite ready to leave.
See you there! taken in Palazzo Piccinno by @palazzopiccinno

Sometimes, the most beautiful things begin with friendship.

On 16 October, we open our doors to two dear friends of the Palazzo, Ana Gimeno Brugada and Bettina Oldenburg, for an evening that feels particularly close to our hearts.

Both arriving from Milan, they bring with them years of experience in fashion, an unmistakable sense of style and a collection of pieces that have been part of their personal stories.

And now, some of those pieces are ready for a new chapter.

For one evening, Ana and Bettina will open their wardrobes, offering a carefully curated selection of pre-owned fashion pieces for sale. Collected, worn and loved, each one with a story of its own.

But this evening is about much more than clothes.

It’s an opportunity to introduce two wonderful women to our little community. To hear their stories, discover what inspires them, talk about their plans for this corner of Puglia and perhaps find something special to take home.

A little conversation, a little fashion, an aperitivo among friends.

PRE-OWNED
16 October · From 18:00

An intimate gathering, open to everyone who feels curious enough to join us.

Complimentary entry · Reservation required.

We would love to see you there✨ taken in Palazzo Piccinno by @palazzopiccinno

Some gatherings stay with us a little longer. 🤍

Our last Sip & Clay with @laurenjibloom was one of those afternoons. A table full of creativity, conversations, laughter and beautiful moments of connection.

What made it even more special was seeing so many women come together, sharing stories, exchanging ideas and simply enjoying each other’s company. There is something incredibly powerful and beautiful about creating spaces where these connections happen so naturally.

And as if the day wasn’t special enough, it was also Laurenji’s birthday. So, of course, we couldn’t let everyone leave without celebrating her!

These are the collaborations we hold closest to our hearts. The ones that go beyond an event and become moments of genuine connection, friendship and community.

Thank you, Laurenji, and everyone who joined us for making this day so memorable.

Until the next one. 🤍 taken in Palazzo Piccinno by @palazzopiccinno

For two afternoons in October, the whole Palazzo slows down. On 7 October, Manuel Verardi joins us for a series of 30-minute rituals dedicated to touch — back massage, legs massage, face ritual or reflexology.

On 8 October, the rhythm changes again with a Sound Bath in the garden or lobby, followed by herbal infusions and something light to eat.

Throughout both days, the house will be filled with softer music, infused waters and little details designed to help you settle into the space and stay a little longer.

Two days to October, and we’re taking every moment to enjoy these last weeks of the season.
We’re about five weeks away from closing the doors for winter, yet the house still feels wonderfully full. And we’re so happy to be spending these last bits of the season with people who enjoy the same things we do — lazy mornings, long breakfasts, cooler breezes and, more than anything, connecting.
September, you’ve been beautiful.
We’re saying goodbye in true Palazzo style.
Thank you for being part of it.

Last night, the garden got a little botanical. And perhaps a little hallucinatory.

Three drinks built around the world of @farmacopeapopolare . @saviormusik behind the music. Friends, familiar faces and a few new ones arriving as strangers and staying a little longer than planned.

No programme. No ceremony. Just a garden full of people, very good things in our glasses, music drifting through the Palazzo and one of those September evenings we wish could have lasted a little longer.

This Saturday, Stay For What Happens Next takes us somewhere a little more botanical. Together with our friends at @farmacopeapopolare , we’ll fill the garden with herbs, spirits, unexpected flavours and a little music — with three drinks imagined around Vermouth, Bitter and Gin.

Our friend @saviormusik will be behind the music, the Palazzo kitchen will send out a few things to nibble on, and the rest of the evening we’ll leave to chance.

For us, it’s places that care as much about the land as they do about the people arriving there. Just outside Otranto, Baia dell’Orte (@baiaorte ) is one of those places. You leave the car behind, get picked up by the team and slowly make your way through the estate towards the sea. Lunch comes from a farm-to-table philosophy rooted in what grows around you, and then the day stretches out between grass, trees, hammocks and the Adriatic.
A little wilder, a little slower, and exactly the kind of place we love sharing through our Neighbourhood series.

For us, it’s evenings like yesterday.

@fortu_sur brought its surrealist world into the garden — friends around the table, beautiful objects everywhere, an aperitivo by @cataldomarcoo , and a lot of laughter in between.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared a little bit of this joy with us. ✨

See you at the next one.✨ taken in Palazzo Piccinno by @palazzopiccinno

This September and October, we’re giving ourselves a few more reasons to gather. We’re opening the Palazzo to a series of rituals, workshops and evenings with some of the people we love having around us — beginning with @fortu_sur Surrealista: Ceramics in Action.

On 12 September, Carlos Osman (@carlosmario.osman) and Umberto Saporiti (@umbisap ) bring the world of FortuSur into the garden, where ceramics made with local artisans leave the shelf and become part of the evening itself.

Filled with food. Passed from hand to hand. Used as they were meant to be.

With an aperitivo by Marco Cataldo (@cataldomarcoo) some good wine.

12 September · 20:00

Staying with us? Let it become part of your Puglia story.

Lately, we’ve been looking back at the beginning of summer.
At the people, the light, the noise, the quiet moments in between. The things we planned, and the ones that simply happened. Somehow, it all becomes part of the place.
We officially have 15 days left to call it summer.
Let’s make sure they’re full of memories. taken in Puglia, Italy by @palazzopiccinno
