Ostuni luxury resort project marks a new chapter for Palazzo Cenci-Tanzarella, the former police headquarters in the center of the White City. Recently, entrepreneur Gianfranco Mazzoccoli acquired the historic property through a public auction. The deal closed after the Italian Ministry of Culture approved the transaction. Consequently, Adrema plans to transform the building into a new four or five-star hospitality destination.

The project strengthens Mazzoccoli’s growing presence in Puglia’s luxury tourism sector. In fact, the entrepreneur already operates La Sommità Relais, a five-star boutique hotel located inside a restored sixteenth-century residence in Ostuni. Moreover, his group manages the Dentromare restaurant in nearby Specchiolla through a coastal concession. Therefore, the redevelopment of Palazzo Cenci-Tanzarella fits into a broader strategy focused on premium hospitality experiences across the region.

Ostuni luxury resort project could also boost tourism demand in the historic center. The building occupies a strategic location near the city’s cultural landmarks and main attractions. In addition, the redevelopment will likely preserve the architectural identity of the historic asset while introducing upscale accommodation services.

Adrema operates through Cedat Real Estate, a company fully linked to Mazzoccoli’s business network. Recent financial results confirm stable growth for the group. As a result, the company continues to expand its investment activity in southern Italy’s hospitality market. Ostuni luxury resort project now represents one of the most significant luxury redevelopment initiatives currently underway in the city.
