"Castello di Ugento In the region of Salento, 15 minutes or so inland from the white sandy beaches that line the peninsula’s southern tip, lies the tranquil town of Ugento. And at its heart sits Castello di Ugento, the impressive castle at the town’s highest point. Most of what is visible today was constructed in the 17th century, but it also features the foundations of an 11th-century Norman tower, rediscovered while the building was being lovingly refurbished half a decade ago, and that can now be seen through glass floors in the dining area. It’s the kind of attention to detail—and instinct for preservation—that characterizes the property’s restoration at the hands of Massimo d’Amore and his partner, Diana Bianchi. (The d’Amore family’s ownership of the castle dates all the way back to its 17th-century splendor.) Nine individually decorated rooms are complemented by an orchard garden as well as a sister property a few minutes down the road, Masseria Le Mandorle, that features a swimming pool and slick sports facilities. Il Tempo Nuovo restaurant—with glass floors looking to the remains of the Norman tower underneath—at Castello di Ugento. Courtesy of Castello di Ugento A major highlight here is the food: The hotel restaurant, Il Tempo Nuovo, sees chef Tommaso Sanguedolce put an impressively fresh and unfussy twist on traditional Puglian cuisine, while the now well-established Puglia Culinary Centre offers cooking courses and classes for everyone from beginners to Michelin-star chefs wanting to learn more about Italian cuisine. Finally, there’s an impressive series of rooms on the building’s piano nobile featuring Baroque frescoes that have been recently restored, within which Bianchi is gearing up to stage a series of exhibitions featuring contemporary artists both local and from further afield. When it comes to offering opportunities for Puglian cultural immersion, Castello di Ugento is hard to beat. Castello di Ugento At the highest point of the small town of Ugento, 25km from Puglia's southernmost point, one gleaming monument stands out from its sun-faded neighbours. It took 18 months to sandblast Castello di Ugento's dilapidated pietra leccese walls back to their original honey hue, part of a €15 million renovation that breathed new life into the once-majestic palazzo. Three state-of-the-art kitchens were built within the property for Culinary Institute of America students to learn authentic Italian cooking. It's a foodie's dream. Pugliese produce is championed elsewhere in the castle too, with embroidered fabrics, handmade ceramics and organic olive-oil soaps and shampoos. Design-savvy guests will appreciate the furniture, from Ceccotti loveseats to reupholstered vintage Poltrona Frau armchairs. The nine bedrooms combine original architectural features with contemporary cosseting: sleep under a star-vaulted ceiling or shower in a rediscovered vault. The marriage of ancient and avant-garde continues in the museum wing, where 17th-century frescoes provide a backdrop to modern-art exhibitions, and in the restaurant, where the glass floor reveals a Norman tower that was excavated during the renovations.

"Depuis plus de mille ans, le château d'Ugento domine la ville. Après une histoire mouvementée (forteresse normande puis angevine, destructions du pirate Barberousse en 1537), l'édifice a été acheté en 1643 par les marquis Del Amore qui le transformèrent en un élégant palais de style baroque. La visite permet d'admirer les salles du premier étage aux plafonds ornés de fresques à sujets mythologiques et religieux. Elles ont fait récemment l'objet d'une minutieuse restauration. Le château, toujours propriété de la famille Del Amore, abrite aussi un hôtel 5-étoiles."
