Baroque beauty with city-break energy
Set moments from Lecce railway station and an easy walk to Piazza Sant’Oronzo, this hotel is your stylish springboard into the “Florence of the South”. Wander past honey-gold facades, dip into cool churches like Basilica di Santa Croce, then refuel on rustico pastries and creamy pasticciotto. Craving coast time? Buses and drives put Adriatic gems like San Foca and Torre dell’Orso within reach.
Back at the hotel, the vibe’s classic and unhurried. Slide into the small outdoor swimming pool when the weather’s warm, or unwind in elegant lounges that nod to the hotel’s Belle Époque bones. There’s a lobby bar for pre-dinner spritzes and a generous breakfast to set you up for city wandering. Reception can help with taxis, beach pointers and must-try trattorie.
Speaking of which, you’ll be spoiled nearby: orecchiette with tomato and ricotta forte, paper-thin puccia sandwiches, seafood pastas and Puglian wines poured with pride. Stroll the evening passeggiata, catch a show at the Roman Amphitheatre, and circle back beneath lamplight for a lazy nightcap. This place keeps it simple: a handsome, well-placed base with just-right comforts and baroque brilliance on the doorstep – a sunny match for culture lovers, food fans and day-trip explorers.
