Paragon 700: A Restored Palazzo Now Shines as a Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Ostuni

In the heart of Ostuni, Puglia, Paragon 700 is an 18^th-century palazzo-turned boutique hotel and spa. The fifteen luxurious rooms and suites exude an eclectic atmosphere, combining the palace’s historic features like high vaulted ceilings, rich wall colors, and frescoes with contemporary and antique furniture and art pieces. Some rooms offer private balconies with picturesque views. Inside Palazzo Rosso’s walls is a private garden—the largest in the city—spanning 1,700 square meters with terraces to lounge and dine and a 15m pool to refresh. Paragon 700 Boutique Hotel & Spa has recently been awarded a Michelin Key.

At the Michelin-recognized Restaurant 700, a variety of organic vegetables and local Apulian ingredients are carefully combined to create an intimate gastronomic adventure with a contemporary twist.

Originally an ancient water cistern, the spa is 7 meters below ground, making it an exclusive experience for up to two people only. Treatments include massages and facials with organic skincare.

Discover one of the beautiful Apulian beaches, go wine tasting, or take in the culture and history of Otsuni. Draw inspiration from the frescoes that hint at the property's past as a convent, and book a painting class, or even try your hand at a stone carving class. Let your imagination soar at Paragon 700, or simply use your stay to detox and relax by the swimming pool. Finish your day at the bar and try the Potion700 Gin, the best-kept secret of Leonardo Gorgini, the mixologist.

My wife and I stayed at Paragon for 4 nights after our wedding and we definitely saw some signs of some of the other reviews but also had an overall great experience.

This is a boutique hotel, My wife and I stayed at Paragon for 4 nights after our wedding and we definitely saw some signs of some of the other reviews but also had an overall great experience. First and foremost, do not expect this to be a 4 Seasons or Ritz type 5 star hotel. This is a boutique hotel, and the decor and style are exactly that. We like this style of living so it worked out well for us, but I can see how if you're a "traditionalist" then it won't be up to your standing. Room: We booked one of the deluxe suites and it was beautiful. There are stairs to get there but not an issue especially as they help with bags. Our biggest complaints is that we didn't have any view, and that because of the aesthetic, you lose out on basics. Main ones for us were lack of drawers for clothes and no full length mirror. Also no steamer/iron and they require you to use their laundry service. The price tags everywhere too were a little strange given it's in your room (understandable outside of it). Dining: One of the highlights. Breakfast every morning is incredible and you can order essentially anything you want. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was some of the best we had on our trip. That being said, note the dinner will be in the same area you have breakfast so I recommend doing it early in your stay so it doesn't feel monotonous. The ambiance is quiet. Bar: Incredible drinks and great bartender, all positives there Pool / Spa: The pool was great. We loved going to it after a hot day out. Only downside is that there aren't enough beds for everyone at the hotel so it did get crowded at times. We also booked a spa treatment and the masseuse was great. The spa itself is cool but a bit small and not sure it's worth over 100 euros for just an hour. Also if you are interested in a treatment, book early. We couldn't get a couples massage arranged and it took some back and forth to find a spa time as the space is small. Location: 10/10. Super close to the square, extremely easy to get to by car. Parking: Not free if you don't book directly with them but well worth it. It's valet and they're quick. Service: This is where I went back and forth on. The staff were overall excellent, extremely helpful and kind. But we made several notes that we were celebrating our honeymoon and didn't get a single acknowledgement the entire stay. We even had the front desk mention this to the restaurant and didn't hear anything at dinner either. We weren't looking for any freebies, but just a simple "thank you for celebrating with us". At this price point, you'd expect that at the bare minimum. We also encountered the interesting experience of them being uncomfortable with issuing multiple key cards which we needed because my wife and I have different schedules, but it's likely because they don't want you leaving the key in the room slot so they know when to clean it. That being said, we had the staff help us with bookings and they even found an item left behind and went out of the way to get it back to us at our next hotel so this was great. Overall, I recommend the hotel if you're looking for a beautiful space and respite right in city center. Just don't expect it to be a traditional 5 start hotel! [...]

The palazzo itself does a lot of the work — a red eighteenth-century façade in the middle of Ostuni's white maze, and behind the door a courtyard of old stone columns, frescoed rooms, and a pool in a walled garden that stays cool through the afternoon. It feels like a private house that happens to be beautifully run, rather than a hotel. The food was excellent throughout, from breakfast in the courtyard to dinner in the garden after dark. Leonardo at Bar 700 is worth the trip on his own. The service was warm and unhurried — attentive without hovering. What stayed with us most was meeting the owners. You can feel how much they love what they've built here, and it runs through everything: the details in the rooms, the way the staff talk about the place, the atmosphere in the evening. We'll be back. [...]
