It is difficult to imagine a more perfect stay. The Palazzo Lecce was previously a private family palazzo, which has been thoughtfully and quite tastefully remodeled into a 6-room hotel that embodies both style and comfort. The design is clean, elegant and timeless, with all of the little touches that cumulatively make a big difference in comfort -- heated marble floors, wonderful mattresses and sheets/towels, terrific lighting for both reading and relaxing, amazing showers and fixtures, the rooftop terrace/bar/pool, and many other "little" things that make it all so wonderful. The breakfast is sumptuous and changes from day to day -- and don't miss their pasticciotto, which is by far the best we had in all of Puglia. I can't think of a single physical aspect of the hotel which was lacking in any way. But what really makes Palazzo Lecce so wonderful is the staff -- Simone, Valentina, Jalena and particularly Katarina, were extremely kind and helpful with touring and restaurant suggestions/reservations, local parking (challenging!), pointing us toward the best bars and places to snack, as well as wonderful dining adventures. She arranged for one of us to get an emergency haircut at her personal stylist during Easter week (not easy, I'm surmising), and was genuinely and personally delighted when we reported back on wonderful meals or tours. In so many ways, Katarina was the "extra" that moved Palazzo Lecce from "extremely good" to "truly exceptional". One add-on we particularly enjoyed: Palazzo Lecce arranged for us a half day private tour with Danielle, a local guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the city's architecture and the history behind it, and brought charm, wit, passion and humor to her descriptions. We had a terrific time with her, and learned a lot. I don't think she has a website yet, but can be contacted through Katarina -- quite highly recommended! Overall, a truly wonderful stay -- most highly recommended.
