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.

Excellent hotel in the old city in Lecce so very convenient for all the sites. Very efficient valet parking service which was well worth it. We had a huge room and large bed. Well equipped except that no tea or coffee was supplied until we asked. Excellent breakfast. Altogether a first rate choice for Lecce.

I highly recommend Risorgimento Resort for anyone staying in Lecce. It is a perfect location in the heart of old town Lecce, and also an excellent hub from which to explore the surrounding towns and coast as well. Our room and the entire hotel were very clean, comfortable, well maintained, stocked with any amenities we could want or need and the staff was all very friendly and helpful. They were all extremely kind to our 2yr old daughter as well. Their breakfast was complete with extensive options. They have an excellent car valet service that was very convenient. The roof top terrace is also lovely, as I had read from others’ reviews. We loved our stay and highly recommend this resort to others visiting this area of Puglia.

Penthouse suite was spacious with a terrace, could set up furniture on the terrace, just so nice after hectic sight seeing and got back to the hotel and relaxed on the terrace. Room was nice and clean.
Attentive staff.
A bit disappointed with breakfast, only limited variety.
Great location.
