We stayed two weekend nights in early April, perfect cool sunny weather for wandering around the city but the hotel may not have been quite up to speed. The hotel is in th old town centre and driving to it can be disconcerting because one drives through pedestrianised areas. The road in is on the right, just as you come... More

Lecce is a lovely, genteel city with lots of baroque architecture and, it seemed to me, unusually beautiful and happy people. The Patria Palace is the best place to stay. It's a very nice hotel, beautifully appointed, with helpful staff, an excellent dining room, and a perfect location for exploring the city on foot. I can't think of a single... More

Lecce is the Florence of the South . It abounds in Baroque architecture and the Patria Palace Hotel is situated right in the middle of the old town. Ponts of interest are all within walking distance and are well worth a visit. The Hotel itself is warm and welcoming, the staff is exceptional. The food ( "pugliese" local produce) and... More

This is an older hotel with large rooms and a fantastic location. Staff is incredibly helpful in every way. Can not say enough about the service we received at the Hotel. From parking the car to helping with restaurant recommendations the service was outstanding. Breakfast was good and again service was excellent. The feel is of an older five star... More

Location is excellent in the centre of the historic quarter of Lecce with everything within walking distance including many good bars and restaurants.Hard to find by car however. It's the only hotel with its own signs from the outskirts and they need it. Car was looked after for us(at a charge) by pleasant staff.The first room we were shown to... More

I can't say enough good things about the Patria Palace......old style courteous and personal service, beautiful art-deco style rooms, a window overlooking the most beautiful church in Lecce......and all right in the middle of the Historic center of this charming Baroque city. We were in fact upgraded to a "jr. suite" which was incredibly spacious and beautiful; although I'm sure... More

This is a great four star hotel in the heart of historic Lecce. Nice big rooms with bathrooms to match. The rooms are quiet because the hotel is in an historic building and they just don't build them like this anymore. The rooms are a very good price and the location is brilliant. They have a lovely art deco bar... More

A bit difficult to get to by car, but very well worth the effort. Excellent location from which we easily walked, even myself using a walking stick, all over the town within the old walls, to see the many Baroque churches and other buildings, most excellent castle, and delightful public gardens and 2 roman theatres. The room was very satisfactorily... More

We stayed in this hotel 4 nights so that gave us the chance to enjoy the city and rate the hotel as a perfect place to start visiting Lecce. It's located right in front of the magnificient baroque Basilica di Santa Croce (Church of the Holy Cross) which you can enjoy a close view right from the terrace of the... More
