Luxury in the heart of Lecce
Experience the luxurious surroundings of Patria Palace Hotel, with the history of Lecce on your doorstep.
You’ll be right in the heart of the culture, even down to the hotel itself, which is an 18th century mansion. A stone’s throw from the hotel you’ll find the Basilica of Santa Croce, a classic example of the Baroque architecture that’s featured across the city. Just beyond the basilica you’ll find the impressive Giuseppe Garibaldi public gardens. Stroll through the greenery with cappuccino in hand, past the ornate gazebos and fountains. If you fancy some shopping while you’re away, there’s plenty of that on offer, too. From quirky craft shops to high-street fashion – and everything in between – there’s more than just history to be found on the streets of Lecce.
The food here is sure to be a crowd-pleaser, whether you choose to dine at the hotel, or venture out into the streets in search of culinary delights. Breakfast at the hotel is a sweet and savoury buffet, while the Atenze Restaurant serves up traditional cuisine with an international flair. Satisfy your sweet tooth with a scoop of gelato from a local gelateria, best enjoyed on an evening stroll. For an after-dinner that comes with a view, head to the hotel’s rooftop terrace.

Find out more about Lecce
Lecce in southern Puglia is often referred to as the ‘Florence of the South’ thanks to its rich, Baroque, architectural monuments. Sun-warmed, pale-gold buildings line the city centre and its narrow lanes are paved with cobblestones and marble. The city’s most distinctive architecture dates from the 17th century, when the region became rich on the proceeds of olive oil, and the local stone on the outside of buildings was carved into incredibly ornate Baroque decoration.
