It's not about luxury, it's about experience
Experience outstanding hospitality with 5 star everything. We offer exclusive suites and holiday residences close to Gallipoli Padula Bianca Beach known for its scene as much as its sugary sands and turquoise water.

Amarena Collection is proudly managed by Maria Perrone, who in her early thirties left the corporate world to spend her days working on what she loved – Puglia. Early 2018 she co-founded Perrone Associates, a tourism & hospitality management company based in Lecce, Italy's heel, that owns and operates the brand.

The entire house is a small beachside building uniquely located in Puglia, just a few minutes drive to downtown Gallipoli, and boasts the perfect basis for discovering the region. The building has been recently converted into a little hideaway featuring 5 suites differing in size, form and layout, each with independent entrance. All suites have playfully designed rooms and are furnished with a selection of contemporary design and combinations of deep warm colors and materials. In particular, two suites Aquarius and Apulia are outiftted with private rooftop terrace overlooking literally the sea.
At Amarena we put a big emphasis on the relaxed side and the typical Mediterranean style of the stay experience. But we also believe that when you're visiting a place, connecting with local living cultures and lifestyle can deeply transform your travel experience, making it more exclusive, authentic and original.

In 2023 we launched Amarena Villa by Villa Pietrabianca, an exclusive villa located on the edge of the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. This villa is immersed in about two hectares of secular pines with large outdoor Jacuzzi, rooftop solarium and a terrace that enjoys sea views. A unique place to unplug from the chaos of everyday life steps to the sea.
​
Starting 2025 two more villas with swimming pool in the Ostuni countryside are available for guests to enjoy, Villa Aquadolce and Villa Ostunese.
​
Our English speaking team always looks after our guests with kindness, professionalism and dedication. Shortly, our mission is to offer a stylish hospitality, as the result of a magic combination of privacy, elegance, sensibility and Italian charme, steps to Gallipoli marvellous white sandy beaches.
