Deep in the heart of Italy’s sunny south, the magical city of Lecce remains one of the country’s hidden tourist gems. Explore a city often described as the ‘Florence of the South’ from your exclusive perch at Palazzo Lecce. This charming micro-hotel is a space where art and modernity combine to thrilling effect.
In a country known for artistic cities, classic architecture and romance, Lecce is an unheralded gem. The city is home to countless beautiful baroque buildings, including the majestic Cattedrale di Lecce, a stunning cathedral with double façade and bell tower. Palazzo Lecce fits this mesmerizing aesthetic perfectly, housed within a classic building that was once the private residence of a family of Italian nobles.
This palatial home has been lovingly converted into a boutique hotel, with just six guest accommodations located over two floors. The interiors are filled with classical design elements, evoking artworks from the Greek and Latin world throughout. Despite the small size, there’s plenty of dreamy communal spaces to explore. Make a splash in the hotel’s infinity pool, or, have a drink at the Rooftop Bar with views over the city. There’s also a small but feature packed wellness area, featuring a sauna, Turkish bath and treatment rooms for massages.
Palazzo Lecce’s six intimate guest accommodations are clad in calming whites, with art works and a surprisingly robust list of features. Each contains a hideaway TV, welcome amenity, complimentary Wi-Fi internet, and spacious bathrooms. For those seeking the height of indulgence, consider the Executive Room, which features its own patio with private pool.
Given Palazzo Lecce’s intimate size, it’s also possible to rent the entire property to host larger groups. For exclusive bookings, hotel staff can arrange a wide variety of exclusive, customizable services to enhance guests’ stay.
