We believe that true luxury isn’t found in excess, but in experiences that nourish the soul and expand the mind. We call this Luxury for the Soul: moments of meaning, creativity, curiosity and presence, both within our home and in Valle d’Itria.

Frequently Asked Questions

The practical answers, in plain words. For anything else, write to us.

Where is Palazzo Ceraselli located?

Palazzo Ceraselli is in Martina Franca, in the heart of Puglia’s Valle d’Itria. The house sits on a hill overlooking the town, less than one kilometre from the historic centre, so the baroque streets, restaurants and markets stay within an easy walk while the garden keeps the quiet of the countryside.

What type of accommodation is Palazzo Ceraselli?

Palazzo Ceraselli is a historic private residence with five individually designed suites. Built in 1893 and restored after nearly fifty years of silence, it brings together traditional Puglian architecture, local craftsmanship, Feng Shui principles and contemporary comfort. It is owner-run: Gabriela and Elio welcome every guest personally.

How many suites does Palazzo Ceraselli have?

Five: Serenitas Domus, Vitalis Caeli, Renovatio Vitae, Essentia Creatix and Horrea Caeli. Each suite has its own colours, character and Feng Shui energy, and each sleeps two guests, so the house welcomes a maximum of ten people at a time.

Which airport is closest to Palazzo Ceraselli?

Both Brindisi and Bari airports serve the Valle d’Itria. Brindisi is approximately one hour away by car and Bari approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. We recommend renting a car to reach the palazzo and to explore Martina Franca and the surrounding villages at your own pace.

Can the entire Palazzo be booked privately?

Yes. Palazzo Ceraselli can be reserved for exclusive use, subject to availability. With five suites accommodating up to ten guests, the house suits private stays, family gatherings, retreats and intimate celebrations. Please contact us directly to discuss dates and arrangements.

What is the best way to book a stay?
