Warm Apulian hospitality in the heart of Ostuni
Pros:

From the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly checked out, our five-night stay at Paragon 700 was nothing short of exceptional.

This is far more than a luxury hotel. It is a beautifully restored historic property that perfectly blends incredible architecture with contemporary comfort. Every corner of the hotel feels thoughtfully designed, creating a sense of calm, elegance and authenticity that made it a pleasure to return to each day.

What truly sets Paragon 700 apart is its people. The warmth, professionalism and genuine hospitality of every member of the team made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and their passion for the hotel really shines through.

The swimming pool is an absolute highlight. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and historic stone walls, it provides a peaceful oasis and was the perfect place to relax after exploring Ostuni.

Our five nights here became one of the highlights of our trip through Italy. We left feeling refreshed, inspired and already talking about returning one day.

Thank you to everyone at Paragon 700 for making our stay so memorable. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Never again.
Pros:

Never again. My honest hope is that management actually listens to feedback instead of assuming guests are always the problem. If you’re charging premium prices, deliver premium service.

Pros:

Stunning property, attentive staff, relaxed vibe, large and comfortable rooms that were immaculate. The restaurant is a highlight... it's incredible and Michelin starred. The best located property in the town and they've truly thought of everything. In the heat of July, being poolside was a heavenly! I had high expectations and it exceeded them on every front.

Service is 10/10! The girl at the service desk is a huge help!!!
Pros:

The architecture inside is AMAZING, the details and way that they integrated the original design! We were blown away. The breakfast & breakfast area was also AMAZING, and the girl at the service desk went above and BEYOND to ensure we had the best stay, which we seriously did! Our room also had a fully functional steam room which was soooo nice to have, to compress after a long day!

Cons:

Nothing, perfect experience!

Beautiful hotel with excellent staff and only a few quirky details to our specific room.
Pros:

Beautiful and arty, great outdoor space n pool

Cons:

Shower soaks the entire room in seconds, I’m sure they are well aware of this and unable to correct it. I suggest they check the rooms more frequently and provide many extra towels and perhaps some hand bars as crossing the room is precarious.
It also had an entry w no door, so no privacy .
The mirror over sink hangs so high you must use a hand-held, which was
Provided
They supplied water in the evening but took the bottles away during the daytime, so there was no drinking water in the room.
Considering the price of the room I resented price tags on the bathroom amenities clearly inferring, the guest might swipe them otherwise.
The bed pillows, due for replacement
As is the mattress, an establishment of aspiring to this caliber changes the mattress once a year, which is why sleeping at a great hotel is so luxurious.
I have had the good fortune to stay in many it is the details that elevate an experience.

Lunch under the Apulian sun.
Pros:

A very memorable lunch in the garden!!
The food was spectacular and our waiter Fausto was so lovely. I recommend if you are in Puglia that you make time for lunch at the Paragon.

Paragon perfection!
Pros:

My wife and I have stayed at Paragon four or five times, and it’s become a must-stop whenever we travel to Italy.

Each room is uniquely designed, transporting you to a bygone era while remaining comfortable and inviting. The result is a striking mix of history, character, and style that feels both grand and personal. And the beds are beyond description. In a word divine!

What truly sets Paragon apart is its people. The staff go beyond excellent service, engaging guests in genuine conversation and making every stay memorable.

And then there’s the restaurant. It’s simply the best. No matter how much time we spend exploring the city, we always return to Paragon for dinner. The food, atmosphere, and service make it the highlight of every evening.

In short: book it now. Paragon is one of those rare places that exceeds expectations every time.

Great Hotel, Poor Departure Experience
Pros:

Paragon 700 is a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The rooms are stunning, the bar is excellent, and many of the staff, particularly the front-of-house and bar team, were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Unfortunately, our final day left a disappointing lasting impression. Before arrival and several times during our stay, we asked about late check-out or shower facilities as our flight wasn’t until 10pm. Despite being told repeatedly that someone would check, no solution was offered other than an ice-cold poolside shower where we couldn’t even use soap.

I had also mentioned several times that this trip was to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday, but it wasn’t acknowledged at all.

What disappointed me most was that when these issues were raised, there was no attempt to make things right. Even a small gesture or acknowledgement of the inconvenience would have been appreciated.

A wonderful hotel in many ways, but unfortunately the handling of our departure day left us feeling let down.

A hot cloakroom! Terrible.
Pros:

I was expecting a five star experience. Instead what we got was a tiny hot room with one small window that didn’t open (the “deluxe room”). It was akin to a cloakroom rather than a guest bedroom. It was so small and hot we were unable to hang clothes and had to step over suitcases. The bedroom is divided by a steep hazardous step. Please look at the mirror as an indication of “luxury”.
Another feature was the “wet room” (bathroom), aptly named because on switching on the shower the whole room floods including the floor around the toilet and sink. No ventilation, no way to open the window. So essentially a hot sauna room with a lethally wet floor that spills into the already boiling bedroom with a steep step down into the bedroom so you can slip and break your neck. The bathroom shower is either freezing or boiling hot. The sink just hot water.
My husband asked for an extra key and was shockingly told NO he couldn’t have one and therefore had to wait behind a locked corridor door until twenty minutes later another guest exited. We saw a number of guests waiting behind said door. The pool is so cold the only things using it are pigeons!! Restaurant so good it was always empty!!
Like other reviews have said, when I mentioned these things to management we were met with defensiveness and abrasion. “Paragon 700 is a hotel that prioritizes aesthetics over customer service” from another review sums up this place. Horrific. We travel extensively (see all my reviews) – this is one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. If management can be bothered to reply to this post (which they won’t) you will see what kind of odd blame game culture we were dealing with. This place is over 600 euro per night. You would have to pay ME to stay there again. Laughable.
