Corte Dei Francesi: Historic Boutique Residence & 19th-Century Tannery in Maglie

Corte Dei Francesi is an exquisite historic mansion nestled in the heart of Maglie, thoughtfully restored from a 19th-century leather tannery originally founded by the French Lamarque family. Combining industrial heritage architecture with refined Apulian hospitality, this boutique hotel offers a timeless retreat defined by honey-colored Lecce stone, local art, and historic elegance.

Bespoke Historic Rooms & On-Site Leather Tannery Museum

Each room boasts distinct character featuring soaring stone vaulted ceilings, restored antique furniture, and period tile details. A unique hidden gem inside the hotel is its private Tannery Museum, preserving the original stone vats and tools that reveal the fascinating industrial history of the building.

Tranquil Sunlit Courtyard & Artisanal Breakfast Experience

The centerpiece of the residence is its intimate inner courtyard, a serene sanctuary framed by stone arches and Mediterranean greenery. Mornings feature an artisanal Salento breakfast served with warm pasticciotti pastries, organic jams, and freshly roasted local coffee, enjoyed under the open sky.

Cultural Living in the Historic Heart of Salento

Stepping outside the hotel places guests directly in Maglie's noble center, surrounded by historic coffee roasteries, boutique shops, and baroque churches. The dedicated concierge provides tailored cultural itineraries, wine tastings, and private tours to local artisan workshops.

Ideal Base Between the Adriatic & Ionian Coastlines

Thanks to its central location in the Salento peninsula, Corte Dei Francesi offers seamless access to the cliffside coastal drives of Otranto and Castro on the Adriatic, as well as the sandy beaches of Gallipoli on the Ionian Sea, making every day an effortless coastal discovery.
