The nine-suite guesthouse blends historic architecture with edgy art under soaring frescoed ceilings. It&#8217;s the second property from GS Collection founder Gabriele Salini, following his much-talked-about <a href=\"https:\/\/g-rough.com\/\">G-rough<\/a> hotel, in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vibe of Palazzo Daniele is \u201ccontemporary nostalgia,\u201d says Salini. &#8220;The entire grounds serve as a canvas to craft this hospitality concept, blending centuries-old design and old-world luxury with a curated selection of contemporary artwork, avant-garde furniture and one-of-a-kind site-specific installations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exquisite property, which includes courtyards, an orangery and a black-bottomed pool, was home to five generations of the Petrucci family, who ruled the Italian city state of Siena. Its latest descendent, Francesco, an avid art collector, transformed it into an artist residence and the headquarters of his nonprofit arts organization, Capo d\u2019Arte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Salini, a fellow art collector and old friend of Petrucci\u2019s, was looking to add a second authentic luxury hotel to his newly formed GS Collection, he thought at once of Puglia. He has a summer home there and, he says, \u201cbecame enamored with the history behind Palazzo Daniele\u2019s 158-year-old walls.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, Salini and Petrucci reconceived the structure as a guesthouse that would embody the palazzo\u2019s historical and artistic identity. To restore and reshape the interiors, they called on Milanese design and architecture duo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/ludovica-roberto-palomba-1\/furniture\/\">Ludovica  + Roberto Palomba<\/a> (known officially as Palomba Serafini Associati).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a tour with <em>The Study<\/em> of some of Palazzo Daniele\u2019s most magnificent spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Royal Junior Suite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-633x950.jpg\" alt=\"royal junior suite bathroom\" class=\"wp-image-337258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-633x950.jpg 633w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps-622x933.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Royal-Junior-Suite-Bathroom-6-Renee-Kemps.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with restored 19th-century frescoed ceilings and original mosaic floors, the highlight of the Royal Junior Suite is its bathroom.

The designers sought to restore the palazzo&#8217;s original glory without losing touch with the present. They accomplished this by keeping the spotlight on the centuries-old architecture even as they introduced contemporary furnishings and art. \u201cA few elements of functional furniture are still contextualized and connected to the artworks that highlight the sanctity of absence,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of absence is clearly expressed in the suites, where the beds stand in stark juxtaposition to almost-bare walls showing the cracks of time. Illuminating the rooms is a lightbox by artist Simon d\u2019Exea. Among the palazzo\u2019s many site-specific installations, it \u201cconjures the functionality of art,\u201d  says Salini, &#8220;while also encouraging guests to become active participants, like the artists who partook in the residency ages ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Common Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-950x633.jpg\" alt=\"common room\" class=\"wp-image-337278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-950x633.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Common-Room-3-Renee-Kemps-1399x933.jpg 1399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located between the suites are three communal areas leading to the outdoor gardens.
