Architect Roberto Palomba describes his firm's approach to renovating the Palazzo Daniele hotel in Puglia, Italy in this video produced by Dezeen for the AHEAD Awards.

Palazzo Daniele, which was named Hotel of the Year at the 2019 AHEAD Europe hospitality awards, is a nine-suite boutique hotel housed within a 158-year-old aristocratic palazzo located towards the southern tip of the Salento peninsula in Puglia.

The renovation of the building was handled by Palomba Serafini Associati, the architecture practice which Palomba runs with his partner Ludovica Serafini.
