Castello di Ugento Hotel

Ugento, Province of Lecce, Italy, Italy

---

Castello di Ugento Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel housed within a beautifully restored historic castle in the town of Ugento, in Italy’s Salento region of Puglia.

The castle has stood on the site for over a thousand years, evolving from a medieval fortress into an elegant Baroque residence while preserving many of its original architectural features and historic character. A major restoration project launched in 2013 uncovered important archaeological remains and carefully revived the castle’s stonework, frescoes, gardens, and grand interiors.

Today, guests can enjoy stylish suites that combine modern comforts with centuries-old architecture and artwork. Beyond accommodation, the property is known for its focus on local culture and gastronomy, featuring a culinary center, restaurant, and gardens that supply fresh ingredients. It has become a distinctive destination where visitors can experience the history, food, and traditions of southern Italy in a unique castle setting.
