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 Risorgimento Resort is located in the heart of old town Leece. I stayed 5 nights. My room was nicely appointed, the bathroom had separate tub and shower, and it also included a bidet. Friendly staff, fine breakfast, while I suggest exploring one of Leece???s fine restaurants for dinner.

Were on a driving tour of Puglia and were booked here. Just wow!. The valet took our car and we checked in. Couldn't be more welcoming. Every staff member we encountered from the front desk to housekeeping was pleasant and greeted us with a smile.
Our room was large and airy with a nice view outside. All the amenities were there. Breakfast was terrific with many choices from which to pick.
The rooftop bar is a lovely place fro an aperitivo.
The location is perfect, possible to walk everywhere in the city.
If you are looking for a splurge, this is the place.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a few days during our tour of the Puglia region. While the resort is has a great location near the sites and has good service our room was very strange. The room was quite large especially the closet and bathroom it literally had no view. We opened our blinds and had an internal view of a brick wall. Speaking to others in our group they also had no view. Not sure if other rooms had a view. The heating system was also centralized so we couldn't get the heat down unless we called the front desk and then waited hours. It was so warm one night we couldn't sleep and had to open the windows to get some relief.

This is a modern hotel right in the historic centro of Lecce. In fact, the hotel is perfectly located, just steps from the Roman amphitheatre, Piazza Sant???Oronzo, the duomo, shopping, restaurants, picturesque alleyways and virtually everything that makes Lecce such a delight to visit. The hotel rooms are clean, modern, and generally well laid out. There is a rooftop bar for spending time during warm months. Hotel staff is cordial and very attentive. The breakfast service was relaxed and sumptuous. Valet parking services also friendly and very flexible. If you???re looking for an ideal, centrally-located base for exploring historic Lecce, this is highly recommended.
