The cleaning staff arrived earlier than expected, before check-out time.

Nothing - everything was perfect!

What an amazing find - a B&B like no other. From our arrival, the owner and his family were warm, welcoming and attentive. Our room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea and nearby castle. Very quiet at night. Bed was extremely comfortable. But the highlight was the breakfast - probably the best we've had in Italy! Free all day car parking very close by. This is definitely the place to stay if you're travelling to Gallipoli - you won't be disappointed! A big thank you to our host Mario and his lovely family!

I liked everything, as I appreciated its originality and the hosts.

The location was central to everything you need and you felt like you were amongst it. The view from the balcony from our room was magic and you could not be in a better location. You can watch the fishing vessels from the balcony coming and going and the local fishermen preparing nets. The host/owners are beautiful, generous and accommodating. There is long history regarding the property and the proprietors. We were lucky to find this BnB and the experience that came with it.

The elderly couple that accommodated us was very friendly. We had a very warm welcome. Every interaction felt very personal and sincere. The breakfast was very hearty and filling. The view was great as well.

Lovely, large rooms with amazingly high ceilings. Beautiful views of the sea, which is just a few steps away. Fresh breakfast each morning, with a wide variety of options. This was a lovely stay, with kind hosts who had very good restaurant recommendations. And here we had great beds that gave us the best sleep we had our whole time in Italy. Good to know - plenty of parking in the port parking lot just below the old town. You just need to pay from 6pm to midnight (50 cents an hour).

My mum and I stayed at Palazzo Barba and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were made feel so welcome and at home. It’s such a beautiful property with amazing hosts that go above and beyond. Breakfast was incredible, all ammenities were clean, we cannot fault our stay. We would recommend it to all our friends and of course stay again if we were to return.

The bathroom was quite small but big enough for me.

The most fabulous view of the harbour from the spacious apartment. The hosts were wonderful & breakfast was delicious. I loved waking up & seeing the fisherman tending their nets & the harbour is beautiful. You can walk easily around the whole of the old town & we found some amazing little restaurants hidden in the back streets. Gallipoli was my favourite place in Puglia & I would definitely stay at Palazzo Barba again.

We had an amazing stay at Palazzo Barba. The room we had , Scirocco, was fantastic. The views were out of this world. It was spacious and meticulously clean. Emanuele and Clara are fabulous hosts. So kind and generous , they make you feel so welcome. The breakfast was exceptional, prepared by Clara with Emanuele serving the coffees. Parking was easy just a few minutes away in the port. Gallipoli is an enchanting town with fabulous beaches in town and a shirt drive up the coast. We cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful property and the hosts.

It's difficult to suggest what could be better as this apartment is several hundred years old, converted into a B&B. We had undoubtedly the best room. Spacious, with two tall windows/doors and a five-meter ceiling height. Very well renovated and a pleasure to stay at.

When you go through the front door, you enter into a different world - The world of the Barba family and its history. What an experience, which will stay with us forever. Breakfast was out of this world - best Italian breakfast. Not to be missed. Best location for exploring Gallipoli. We enjoyed our late evening walks on the bastion and watching the fishing boats take off in the early hours.....No wonder the restaurants could offer the best seafood.

The bathroom is small.

A great location with very welcoming hosts. Best breakfast we had in Italy. The shared dining room has a lovely view and balcony.

We loved Palazza Barba for our stay in Gallipoli. The whole B&B was so charming and the property had so much interesting history and artifacts. The room was huge and very comfortable, and we also loved all the storage for our things since we were on a longer trip. The decoration was so lovely and traditional and homey. Everyone was so welcoming - we felt like we were guests staying in someone’s home rather than a B&B. The terrace in our room was great for a drink and for people watching. The breakfast was also fantastic! The location was great as well - we were close to all the sights and lots of restaurants, as well as a beautiful beach!

Location was excellent and room was lovely, absolutely massive with a generous sized bathroom too. breakfast was also delicious

Stayed in September 2023

No parking at the B & B , which is probably the case for most accomodation in the ZTL zone - but we knew that when we made the booking.

Right for the outset the host was very prompt in responding to any queries we had and was accomodating, especially with providing gluten free alternatives (a great and varied breakfast). We highly recommend this B & B as it’s in a great , central location in the old town, and more so, as the hosts are happy to assist in any way they can.

A bit hard to find initially. Would love places like this to offer laundry services, we are travelling for 7 weeks.

Very comfortable and well appointed room. While hosts don't speak much English they are very friendly. Lovely breakfast. Location is perfect and there was free parking in the port area.

The room was large and with traditional tiled floors and an absolutely fantastic balcony with a great view over the port of Gallipoli. Close to a fabulous swimming beach. Mario Emmanuel was a charming host and created the BEST breakfast we have had in Puglia.

Our host Emmanuel was a pleasure, made us feel most welcome and comfortable. Very good location and superb view of the port. The room was spacious, small bathroom but overall an excellent choice and we would stay again. Thank you.

Nothing to dislike.

I had a sea view room in this gorgeous old Palazzo. It was so wonderful to sit in my huge room & watch the view, the boats & the fishermen go about their day. The Palazzo is well located & a short walk from the station. The hosts are charming & although they don’t speak much English (or I don’t speak any Italian) they greeted me warmly & were just lovely. They serve a very generous breakfast each morning. You won’t regret staying here.

The shower is a little bit small but its peanuts by the rest!

Great big room, little bit old fashioned (small batheroom) but clean and very comfortable, the host was very sweet and caring, extensive fresh breakfast. in the old town, near the Port where the fishermen sell their catch :). Great recommendation for dinner!

Everything was perfect!

Very clean comfortable & quiet! Mario was an awesome host! His family home was filled with so much love and history! The breakfast was a typical but amazing Italian breakfast (fresh pastries, fresh fruit, meat & cheese, bruschetta, yogurt! Italian coffee. Palazzo Barba overlooks the sea! Close to everything! Only .7 miles from train station.
