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.

Perfect location, right in the centre. The hotel itself has very tasteful contemporary decor with touches of antiques carefully positioned, which give it a very unique vibe. The rooms are very clean, tastefully put together with a colour scheme to match the city. Excellent breakfast. Superb cleanliness and above all else, superb staff. Welcoming and attentive.

Travelled to Puglia/Lecce for New Year holiday and decided to stay in a 5 star hotel/resort .
We choose Risorgimento Resort !
Lecce and Puglia are amazing and well worth a visit, but we found the hotel not to be up to its 5 star billing.
A great disappointment !
Whilst the hotel was clean, the stuff well trained (less the last day), the room awful .
We traveled a lot and stayed in different hotels of varying standards, the room was certainly below par for even a 4 star establishment.
The decoration, furniture and carpet were dated ! The bathroom equipment as well !
Last night I couldn’t find my nightgown. I assumed that is was taken by the made by mistake.
At the reception the next day when I was checking out, I was told that it cannot be searched for, and found quickly.
Surprise ! I didn’t receive any apology for the negligence of the staff.
I will be back in Puglia/Lecce, but not in Risorgimento Resort

This hotel was easy to find by car. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were large, clean, and well appointed. It is perfectly situated just at the edge of the old city. Allowed for easy access to both the old and new world. Breakfast room was elegant and well stocked. Would highly recommend.

There is no more convenient 5 star hotel in Lecce. Walk out the door and you are steps from the central square, fine restaurants, the four main churches and the cafes. Rooms are comfortable, clean and well appointed. The front desk people are helpful and friendly and of course speak English. The morning breakfast is well appointed with and attentive staff. The lobby has some religious icon made of the representative art form of Lecce - Paper mache'

Probably one of the best hotels in Lecce, right in the centre of the city. All the main places to visit were within easy walking distance. The Florence of Puglia is not an understatement. Hotel first class, staff friendly and attentive. Parking at the hotel is a necessity and costs €20 a night.
