Boutique hotel in a restored 1550 palazzo in Lecce's Old Town
Historic Setting
The hotel occupies a building dating back to 1550, restored to preserve original vaulted ceilings and tile floors. Guests enter through a gated alleyway onto a quiet street just inside the old town walls. The property displays its own cisterns and historical artifacts in the lobby and garden areas.
Rooms & Comfort
Each room is soundproofed and allergy-free, with a pillow menu, electric kettle, and Sky TV offering pay-per-view channels. The Junior Suites and One-Bedroom Apartments feature high ceilings, tiled floors, and some include private balconies. Premium linens and daily housekeeping are standard throughout the eight guest rooms.
Breakfast & Dining
A complimentary breakfast buffet is served each morning in the large living room, featuring homemade croissants, cakes, and Pasticciotto Leccese pastries baked on-site. Guests can order eggs and bacon cooked to order, alongside local cheeses, cold cuts, and fresh fruit. The bar offers wine/champagne, and the cellar stocks a rich selection of regional wines.
Garden & Relaxation
A serene garden with an outdoor hot tub provides space for reading or evening aperitifs in shaded seating areas. The property also has a rooftop terrace and a lower-level breakfast room with additional lounge space. Free liquors and homemade biscuits are available in the common lounge throughout the day.
