Information about the structure

Salapolis Luxury Apartments are located in the old town of Gallipoli, just 200 meters from the beach. Originally built in the 1600’s, Palazzo Salapolis consists of 5 apartments / holiday homes, fully furnished with designer furniture, suitable for couples and groups of up to 6 people. The establishment has been active since 2012, after completing a full restoration of the property, with all new appointments.
The apartments have fully equipped kitchenettes with dining areas, new bathrooms, air conditioning, flat screen TVs and free wifi.

Key Design Elements include: the original palladian flooring from the 1600’s and an architectural structure with dramatic vaulted ceilings unique to the region. The furnishings are original, in some cases artisanal, with unique designs and affrescos created by design firm Salamastra, a trademark recognized in various publications (AD, Viaggio Puglia, Dove, Elle Italia).

We are Francesco Oliveti,  Scott Short and Edelín Salas Calderón and our passion is design. We operate an innovative “concept store”, Salamastra, in the historic center of Gallipoli, a few steps from Palazzo Salapolis. We create home furnishings and all of the unique pieces you will find inside our apartments… creations inspired by our world travels, local baroque traditions and Gallipoli’s marine atmosphere. In addition to fashion, jewelry, home accent pieces, chandeliers, majolica and home linens, we design an exclusive collection of accessories in precious leather. Shoes, sneakers, ballerinas, sandals, belts, wallets, bags and suitcases, made entirely of genuine python, lizard and other exotic leathers.   Available at our shop in old Gallipoli and in our online store.
