8piuhotel in Lecce, open June–October.
8piuhotel occupies a carefully restored palazzo in Lecce's heart, transforming a historic structure into a contemporary luxury hotel that honors its architectural roots.
Built with meticulous attention to period detail, the property preserves original elements while introducing modern amenities across its 40+ rooms.
This balance of heritage and refinement creates an intimate backdrop for celebrations rooted in Salento's baroque character.
A group of bicyclists stayed in 2023. What a lovely experience. Clean, modern, within walking distance of Lecce. Dinner was exceptional. What was the key to this stay was the staff. They couldn’t have been nicer, more helpful or generous. Mara was the lead back then and was amazing. Angelo used magic to find one of our members an early visit with a doctor in the area. If there were more of this hotel chain throughout Europe, I would choose this brand first. Thank you (though a delayed review) for enhancing our trip in Italy.
