"In September of 2023, my wife and I spent a magical week at Castello di Ugento. We had been looking for a place to stay in Puglia and I happened upon the Castello in an internet search. It was all that we had hoped for. The quality of the accommodations and the food were matched only by the attentiveness of the staff. Our stay was not inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. We have paid more at other five-star hotels but never have we had such an all-round amazing vacation experience. Apart from one day, when we visited a local winery and olive oil company (both arranged by the hotel), we barely budged. Uncharacteristically, we ate every meal at the hotel restaurant and each night the elegant and creative menu was exceptional. The sommelier served us exclusively local Puglian wine, which he selected to match each course. One of the features that had drawn us to the Castello was the Puglia Culinary Centre, housed in the hotel. In the off-season, classes are held for students from cooking schools, both in Italy and in the United States. We took three cooking lessons, each taught by the chefs of the Castello, which were outstanding: three hours of cooking in their state-of-the-art teaching kitchen, followed by a full meal with the chefs. Both of us love to cook and we have taken lessons elsewhere, including at the Cordon Bleu in Paris, but this topped them all. The Castello has only ten rooms. We had reserved the Alcova di Diana ahead of time, the best room in the house. The Alcova is a 60 meter2 (600 ft2) two-room suite on the second floor of the hotel with its own large terrace, the only room on that floor. It has a view of the town and the countryside that stretches as far as the Mediterranean Sea. The Castello has a large walled-in garden, filled with fruit trees and herbs, which the chefs use in cooking. We spent hours reading there in the afternoon, completely undisturbed. The town of Ugento is at the very tip of the heel of the boot of the Italian mainland. The nearest airport is in Brindisi, about 90 minutes away. We flew into Bari, an hour further north, because we were able to get a direct connection in Rome to our flight from JFK, which meant that our luggage went straight through. We then rented a car. The roads to and from both airports are mostly limited access divided highways with no tolls. Ugento is a quaint local town, not touristy at all. It is only a few minutes from beaches on the Ionian Sea and not far from a good number of wineries. The hotel offers a variety of discounts if you pay in advance. The details are spelled out on the excellent website (castellodiugento.com), which also has photos of all the rooms and information about the cooking classes. The weather at the end of September was perfect and the crowds of tourists were greatly diminished from the height of the season in August. As I put it at the outset: magical."

Perfezione assoluta. Se stai pensando di soggiornare al Castello di Ugento, smettila di pensarci. Prenota il viaggio. Non potrei essere più felice.

Bellissimo hotel castello con personale eccezionale, in particolare Roberta, la receptionist/consulente per concerti/turistica più disponibile e professionale di tutti i tempi. Anche il team del ristorante e del bar è stato eccellente. Buon cibo nell'hotel e nei dintorni. Meravigliosa ospitalità italiana. Camera: 5 Servizio: 5 Posizione: 5. Visualizza piatti
Good
Prenotato un tavolo per la cena, vengo contattato 30’ prima dell’orario previsto dove mi viene comunicato che il ristorante e’ chiuso a causa di un guasto della cucina. Successivamente mi viene riferito che il ristorante era chiuso per riposo settimanale. Personale molto scortese e per nulla professionale. Esperienza mai successa prima d’ora!Strange things…

One of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! They made me feel so welcome, especially as a solo traveler, and the staff were all wonderful. Highly recommend staying for a few days and taking some of the amazing cooking classes, good for all levels and very thorough (plus you get to eat the food after). There’s also some spectacular beaches right nearby that you can get to with the driver or on your own. This is a gem in a beautiful city that you don’t want to miss.

Stayed with family for a week in August. The cookery classes for us parents and accompanying teenagers were great fun (we had private lessons for 4 hours over 3 days and then ate what we had cooked with the chefs), the chefs excellent. Nearby it was possible to visit the local Italian beaches where the traditional summer holidays see lines of people sunbathing under rented parasols; the beaches were very pleasant. If you have the time it is worth passing by Matera (2 hours from Ugento), the spectacular hill town made even more famous recently by James Bond. Visualizza piatti

Volevamo visitare il castello ,ma il portiere ci ha detto che avremmo potuto farlo prenotando un aperitivo essendo ormai una proprietà privata... Le 5 stelle le diamo sicuramente alla location ma assolutamente no ad un aperitivo di tarallini ,pizzette,tramezzini e panzerottini congelati che solitamente preparo per il compleanno dei miei figli ... 6 cocktail €25 l'uno e 3 gazzosa €6 l'uno , e stuzzichini al costo totale di €298 ... Senza nemmeno aver potuto visionare un listino prezzi ... Costo che non avremmo avuto obiezioni a pagare davanti ad un aperitivo gourmet e con tovagliato in tessuto ... Dopo il conto ci stava pure passando la voglia di visitare il castello ..ps: Il tutto SENZA RICE...

Nel corso dell'XI secolo, Pecicco de Trebigne divenne il primo feudatario della baronìa di Ugento. Durante il periodo angioino, quando il castello divenne regio nel 1272, fu retto da Giovanni Conte. Oggetto di numerose trasformazioni nei secoli XVI e XVII, il maniero fu ulteriormente rafforzato quando Ugento venne elevata a capo di Contea da Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo. Nel 1537, a seguito dell'occupazione della città, il fortilizio subì gravi danni, con la completa distruzione di buona parte dell'ala occidentale, di due torri e del torrione di tramontana. Inizialmente, toccò ai conti Pandone (1564) e successivamente ai marchesi d'Amore (1643) il compito di riportarlo agli antichi sp...
