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.

This hotel is an excellent hotel. We stayed here 3 nights. We had great service from Alessandro and Antonio .We communicated via e-mail with Alessandro and he was so efficient and prompt at answering.
He organized our transfers which made it very easy for us to get to Lecce and leave Lecce to Matera. They helped us with tours and restaurant choices . The location of this hotel is in the historic Lecce and so well situated. . The room was very spacious clean and modern. The private terrace was really nice. The buffet breakfast offered a very good variety. The rooftop restaurant offered very good cocktails and drinks which was a nice way to end the evening.
We highly recommend this hotel.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was great, lovely big, high ceilings which made the room feel much bigger. The fixtures and fittings have taken a bit of a bashing and are starting to look a bit old and very used but certainly not a reason to avoid. The hotel has a fabulous roof terrace which overlooks the city, but needs to be booked in advance. Valet parking is available which is super helpful particularly when driving in an Italian city 🤣 - this comes at an extra cost but is well worth it. Breakfast was usual continental and was a decent choice but the room where breakfast is held doesn???t seem big enough to fit all the guests and there was often a bit of a wait for a table to become available. Nonetheless, a very pleasant stay and the location is absolutely perfect!

Hotel is in a great location to explore Lecce, great restaurants nearby, very walkable to all sites. Our favorite nearby restaurant was called ???the Alibi???
Room and bathroom were very large, breakfast that was included with room was delicious.
Roof top bar/restaurant was super nice! The Aperitif for 2 was superb, we got a lot of food for what we paid.
Hotel arranged a beach club visit at Togo Bay with Taxi that I highly recommend to escape the heat of Summer.

The staff were nice, polite and helpful. Room very nice indeed and comfortable. Roof terrace was lovely but one could only get a drink there from 6.00pm onwards. Breakfast was OK. Very disappointing cheap fruit juice however. For a hotel of that standard I would have expected better. Excellent location
