Lecce, a vibrant city in the heart of Puglia, is known for its stunning Baroque architecture, rich history, and lively atmosphere. Often called "The Florence of the South," it offers a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comforts. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious stay in a grand palazzo or a cosy, family-friendly B&B, Lecce has it all. For a stylish experience, the city’s boutique hotels blend contemporary design with its signature Baroque beauty. If you’re on a budget, there are charming guesthouses and traditional hotels in the historic centre. For the best experience, stay near Piazza Sant'Oronzo or the Old Town.
Lecce is a city brimming with history and stunning architecture, especially around the Duomo at the top of the hill. From there, you can wander through a maze of narrow streets to discover some of the city's most impressive sights, including the Roman-style Porto Napoli, an excavated Roman amphitheatre, and a 12th-century castle with a 16th-century facelift. Beyond its rich history, Lecce is also a food lover’s paradise, with local vineyards and olive farms that make dining here a treat. Just ten kilometres away, you’ll find sandy beaches, easily reachable by a straight Roman road. With so much to offer, it’s no surprise Lecce is a popular destination, so be sure to book your stay in advance if you're visiting during peak summer months!
