The Corte dei Francesi is a classic historical residence that is ideal for travellers in southern Puglia. Situated in Maglie, in the heart of the Salento peninsula, a place which preserves the true atmosphere and the natural rhythms of the Mediterranean way of life. The Corte dei Francesi is not just any building set around a courtyard…Those who stop here will be part of a unique setting, the fruit of the recovery of an original living and working place: a shop for the traditional hide tanning process which was up and running in the XIX century. Visitors will not simply be aware of the magical atmosphere here but will become absorbed in it and taken to another dimension of consciousness and imagination, so that the benefits of a few days in the sun become heightened by the motifs of a place that is removed from time. The guestrooms, each independent and with every facility, face onto an ancient, 16th-century courtyard.
