"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. 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
