Paragon 700 Boutique Hotel & Spa

-Position amazing and a nice old property -Breakfast very good - we stayed in the Saphire/ Zaffiro Room for two nights - not great if your not travelling alone... the toilette is in the open room, so don't expect a "quite moment" by yourselves. Not exactly romantic.. and of course no bidet. - no coffee machine in the room and in case you would decide to take the laundry bag there will be charge of 23€. - on the second night the heating in the room didn't work. After three visits by the nice night porter Giuseppe he didn't manage to get the heating working but supplied us with a separate duvet, but couldn't find a separate heater. We stayed over the New Years period and the outside temperature was just above freezing, yes even Puglia there can be a cold snap. Staff not overly friendly, rather argumentative. Especially at the reception desk. Altogether below the expected five star experience one is paying for. Especially if your group has booked altogether six rooms, practically half the hotel.

Great location. Beautiful, eclectic property. Superior suite was very spacious with high ceilings. Frederica and her colleague at the front desk were very accommodating. Breakfast offerings were limited, especially for a hotel in Europe of this caliber. The shower was inside of a high walled tub so it was difficult and slippery to get in and out of. The price was expensive compared to other similar hotels in Puglia.

When I walked into the Paragon 700 I thought I walked into my new home in Italy. The staff was that friendly, welcoming and dare I say, excited to see me. Federica, Matia, Vincenzo, Ellie, as well as everyone on the wait staff at their out-of-this-world restaurant, Guisseppe, Joel, Silvia, Ostunio (sp.?), made us feel like the only guests in the building. True confession, we ate at the restaurant every chance we had, we tried a few other places and kept coming back. Every dinner option, the club sandwich (best we ever had) and cavatelli on the all-day menu, and the breakfast (even the granola) were superb. And the property. Oh. It is so unique, so painstakingly appointed and decorated, that it feels like you’re on a treasure hunt every day with something new to discover – art, books, carvings, light fixtures, artifacts, fruit trees, and yet it exudes warmth, comfort and world class hospitality. Paragon 700 has that rare alchemy of the highest of quality delivered by the warmest of human beings. There is an authenticity and charm that will stay with us far beyond our visit to beautiful Puglia and the marvelous white city, Ostuni. Thank you to everyone at Paragon 700 who made it a memorable stay.

This hotel has a lovely decor and the room was very spacious quite dark but big The bar area was lovely and had a welcome drink which was very nice and some cocktails too which were lovely this area did smell of smoke though quite a bit we thought We had dinner on our first night which the menu was quite hard to understand which we found the couple next to us was the same The food was nice but not amazing the tables outside in the garden are too small As we found out in the morning for breakfast as the service wasn’t too good with the collection of used plates cups etc we had to ask for things to be cleared away Service at breakfast was very poor and the selection wasn’t great for a 5 star hotel the teacups are a nice touch for coffee but the coffee was sparse in the cup and no one asked if you wanted another drink unless you asked for it you got the minimum which isn’t good for a 5 star hotel The pool looked lovely we didn’t use as was only there for 2 days and wanted to explore the town the hotel is done lovely but wouldn’t stay here again just hasn’t got that personal touch Also don’t like the idea of having price tags on things like the bathroom amenities and other items everything seem to have a price to buy

Such an interesting and beautiful hotel - there is a treasure around every corner. The staff are so lovely and accommodating. Rooms were amazing - eclectic and comfortable (beds were huge and so nice to sleep on). The pool was the best - gorgeous with great lounges. I would definitely stay here again - would maybe ask not to have a room overlooking the street as it was a little noisy some nights.
