About the location
The ‘Florence of the South’ is one of Puglia’s undeniable gems, offering more than 2,000 years of history and an array of architectural delights. Lecce gained its name under Roman rule and has occupied the same setting ever since, resulting in an outstanding mix of ancient sights throughout the city. Today, this energetic university town is an impressive blend of culture and commerce, with upmarket shopping right alongside baroque monuments. Right at the heart of Lecce is the centro storico, which features an enormous Roman amphitheatre, a towering cathedral and an angular fortress. The true star of the show, though, is the Church of Santa Croce, which is perhaps even more elaborately designed than its namesake in Florence. What makes this district even more impressive is the sheer number of creamy stone buildings – all built using the town’s very own Lecce stone.
If you prefer to spend time shopping, you can find artisan craft shops brushing shoulders with modern clothing outlets and designer jewellers. On the dining front, there are hundreds of restaurants and bars, with many serving authentic fare inspired by the surrounding landscape. You'll also find independent cookery schools and cosmopolitan cocktail bars, which lend the city a refreshingly modern streak in the face of its revered ancient history.

The honest review. I travel a lot in my job, top hotels, but this was a family trip.
Great but first???.. Start with a problem (people want honesty here) We had an issue with one of our 3 rooms, just a technical, the unexpected can occur. We got a new upgraded room, instant help to move.
The manager met me in the morning and everything was resolved, 5 star solution. Top service.
The hotel, location tops, center of everything! Rooms super clean, ours fully modern, roof top is fantastic and the staff up there, again, charming and attentive, same with staff at the very nice breakfast, great outdoor option to eat as well. Parking takes time, 15-20 minutes, but you are in the center of the old town, with no parking so it???s to be expected. Plan, easy as that.
Summary, people here add to what is a great hotel. Stay here when in Lecce.

While we did not stay at the hotel, we did have drinks on the roof garden and had the best time. The staff really shines here - many laughs were shared over my terrible Italian - and yet we felt so welcomed and complimented. Drinks and wine were delicious, but truly it was the companionship with our waiter that made the night special. Grazie

When I got home, I felt compelled to write a review on my stay in Lecce. One employee stood out as really being an asset, that made our stay extra special at this hotel. His name was Alese and was at the front desk. His greetings were sincere, and his ability to guide us though our 4 day stay was amazing. Nice Hotel, great breakfast, clean, safe, and shout out to all that work there. Thanks very much.
