An elegantly restored palazzo next to the Porta Napoli. Chic and comfortable with easy access. We received a very warm welcome at LuLecchio - The staff and owner were very helpful and made us feel at home when we arrived. The apartment was very elegantly decorated and comfortable. Roberto, our host renovated the entire building and did so with much care and attention to detail. Every space in the hotel is beautifully restored. In the morning, we were welcomed by the chef and started the day with a few delicious coffees. The breakfast service included freshly baked torta di mela, fresh fruit, and eggs from the owner's farm cooked to order. Our children loved the pancakes and fresh orange juice. Roberto provided us with a number of recommendations - we followed his advice and visited a few beautiful towns that were not part of our original plan. There are many scenic drives and nature walks nearby to Lecce that we were happy to explore. His restaurant recommendations were great. We also followed his advice to visit a local antiques market and found a small, beautiful sculpture from the 7th century that we were able to purchase as a memento of our stay in Salento. We were very happy to have landed at LuLecchio and would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Puglia.
