Where to stay in puglia when you want authentic italy — not a hotel, not a resort.
Two independent apartments — Volte Antiche and La Terrazza — offer distinct experiences united by the same care: local craftsmanship, contemporary art, understated comfort. An authentic italian village stay for those seeking beauty, silence and the real southern Italy.

The story
The Soul of Palazzetto Vico San Marco
We wanted to bring back to life the soul of Palazzetto Vico San Marco — its history, local traditions, the typical Salento materials — and restore it with the mastery of local artisans, who handcrafted every single piece you will find in the residences.

Gianluca and Chiara
A place made of us
The Palazzetto is the result of years of passion for this land, precise choices, and a project into which Gianluca and Chiara have put the best of themselves.
Gianluca, founder of INCIDE Engineering — an engineering and architecture firm — designed every space with the care of someone who knows Puglia stone by stone — the light, the materials, the heart of the historic centres — involving local artisans who are custodians of an ancient savoir-faire. Chiara brought her knowledge of the territory, its flavours, its people.
The result is a place with a soul. And like all places with a soul, it should be experienced with curiosity and respect — not as a stopover, but as an experience. An opportunity to truly connect with Salento, its salento beach coastline, its history, and its people.
