Palazzo Mandurino
The window room of Palazzo Mandurino at sunset: the French window open onto the rooftops of Zollino between two book cabinets, the two flower-shaped wall lights glowing on the white walls and two upholstered armchairs.

The Palace today

Our story

Within the historic setting of Piazza San Pietro in Zollino, the doors of Palazzo Mandurino open onto an exclusive historic residence that balances charm, design and wellness in a setting of authentic, timeless character.

Palazzo Mandurino at dusk, seen beneath a stone arch: the streetlamp lights the façade, plants stand at the foot of the doorway and the sky is still blue.
The spa staircase: exposed Lecce stone, the slender railing and a guest in a bathrobe going up; through the doorway, the hot tub.The garden of Palazzo Mandurino: the small pool among the olive trees, red sun loungers and the stone paving.

Built in the early twentieth century and now reborn, Palazzo Mandurino is an oasis of history and beauty just minutes from Lecce. Here time slows to a heartbeat: an invitation to lose yourself, and find yourself again, in the complicit silence of the suites, where the water of the private spas whispers stories of absolute wellbeing. Under the Salento sky, between the crystalline glow of the pool and the breath of our terraces, every space is a fragment of charm. From the table of our restaurant to the velvet notes of the lounge bar, Palazzo Mandurino turns tradition into a contemporary emotion.

The Territory

Land between two seas

Zollino is the beating heart of Grecìa Salentina, perfectly poised halfway between Otranto and Gallipoli. This privileged position lets you choose, day by day, where to be enchanted: by the dramatic cliffs of the Adriatic, or by the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian. It is the ideal place to follow the rhythm of the sun, from dawn to dusk, just minutes from every wonder of Salento.

Zollino lies between the Ionian Sea, towards Gallipoli, and the Adriatic Sea, towards Otranto.

  • Palazzo Mandurino in Zollino is a little gem: elegant and refined. The lighting is magical, across the outdoor spaces by the pool and the interiors, refined and full of character. We celebrated our son's eighteenth birthday, looked after by attentive and helpful staff and by the chef with his delicacies, where nothing is left to chance. An experience we'll carry in our hearts, and we'll certainly be back.
