Palais Gentile Matino

This is a real taste of local Italy! Matino is sleepy with just enough buzz in the evening! Palais Gentile is a delightful oasis of chic calm…It’s has a gorgeous roof terrace perfect for a cool glass of local fizz - the view is amazing!

Traveling with two kids (4 and 6 years old), we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Of course, the room itself was outstanding - every detail was considered, from the beautiful decorations to the wine bottle opener. The hotel is ideally located to visit beautiful beaches and lovely towns. The best thing though is the service. Carolina and Aurelien put their hearts and souls into this place, and it shows. Here are some of the things they did for us: -- They helped coordinate a driver for us when we first arrived -- and when our ferry came in an hour early, they helped us contact the driver and made sure we arrived safely at the hotel. -- They arranged our room perfectly, knowing two small kids were coming (and left them some souvenirs, as well) -- They made sure to greet us every morning at breakfast, and answer our naive questions about the region and what we should do that day. We feel like we got a great sense of the entire region based on their recommendations. They were so reliable and warm, and made us feel at home. That's the best part about this special place.

Palais Gentile è il posto perfetto se si vuole visitare il Salento con tutte le sue bellezze. Si trova in una posizione davvero strategica, a un’ora dall’aeroporto di Brindisi e a 20 minuti dalle spiagge migliori del Salento. Carolina e Aurelien sono delle persone splendide, pronte a proporti varie alternative per la tua giornata. Il palais ha una terrazza incredibile dove poter gustare un aperitivo ammirando dei tramonti sublimi. Per non parlare della colazione a base di pasticciotti, friselle e altre prelibatezze della zona. Sicuramente da tornarci e farlo diventare una tradizione.
