Risorgimento Resort

Risorgimento Resort stands on one of the most picturesque corners of the city, a short stroll from the bell tower in Piazza Duomo. The splendid building, a historic abode dating from 1880, is distinguished for the refinement of its materials and the attention paid to every detail. The hall is a feature that strongly identifies the hotel, recalling the daily life of Salento and evoking a walk in one of the old town streets with their shop windows full of papier-mâché, craftsmen’s workshops and booksellers. The Altavilla roof garden is the perfect place for enjoying creative cuisine, aperitifs and a splendid panoramic view over the old town. The Salus per Aquam Spa, complete with every service, allows you to experience your stay in total leisure, thanks to a vast range of treatments.

In the private areas the architectural concept, the design of the interiors, and the furnishings all celebrate harmony with the territory. Every last detail is just so: from the lighting devices to the bathroom accessories, from the seating to the fabrics, and from the carpets to the smallest feature. On the bedroom walls, large photographic prints on canvas by the photographer Marino Mannarini portray details of Lecce Baroque; the carpets in the bedrooms are patterned in stylized olive trees; every element is intrinsic to the territory and reinterpreted according to contemporary taste. The 41 rooms and 6 suites of Risorgimento Resort are beautifully appointed: fully-adjustable air conditioning/heating, minibar, telephone with direct-dial outside line, radio and television. The spacious bathrooms, entirely paneled in fine marble and conceived of as wellness spaces, are hence fitted with all comforts.

The land of taste and convivial traditions, Salento boasts a distinct gastronomic calling and a legendary culture of hospitality. In the Risorgimento Resort, the décor of the areas dedicated to dining and refreshment is elegant and sleek without being minimalist, and fully exploits the spectacular architecture. A broad selection of local, national and international wines invites guests to discover unusual, authentic and genuine combinations.

The Salus per Aquam SPA promises devotion to the guests, attention to their needs and their physical and mental wellbeing, and the beneficial effects of a relaxing atmosphere. The Salus per Aquam SPA is an oasis of wellness, a surprising place in a structure like this, created so that the patrons can relax and be pampered with beauty treatments while staying in the heart of the city. The SPA has a thermarium area consisting of: Turkish bath, chromo-aroma therapy showers, the innovative cloud bath, an area reserved for beauty and therapeutic treatments and massages, and a relaxation area for soothing the body and soul while enjoying a cup of herbal tea.
