Property information

Neighbourhood information

The Palazzo is located right in the heart of Lecce's historic center, just 50 meters behind the magnificent Duomo of Lecce. Despite being in the midst of Lecce's vibrant nightlife, the interior of the property offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere, providing guests with a quiet space to relax. Stepping outside the B&B, you’ll find yourself immersed in the charming streets of the historic center, brimming with life, tourists, locals, and a wide array of venues for all ages and tastes. From traditional restaurants to pubs and boutique shops, everything you need is just a short stroll away. Only a 3-minute walk from the B&B is the stunning Piazza Sant'Oronzo, home to the Roman Amphitheater. Since 1656, the square has been named after Saint Oronzo, the patron saint of Lecce, following the devastating plague that struck the Kingdom of Naples. In the same square, visitors can admire the Palazzo del Seggio (known as the "Sedile" of Lecce), a majestic cubic building that opens onto Piazza Sant'Oronzo. Built in the mid-1500s by Alessandro Saponaro, it was designed to serve as a prestigious representation of the city of Lecce. Just a 1-minute walk from the B&B, you can marvel at the splendid Roman Theatre, as well as other notable churches and monuments, including the Church of San Matteo, Basilica of Santa Croce, Piazza del Duomo, and many more.
