01 · In a sentence

Palazzo Bignami B&B in Lecce, open JuneOctober.

Palazzo Bignami B&B occupies a restored 18th-century palazzo in Lecce's historic center, with high ceilings, terracotta floors, and views of the Baroque architecture lining Via Lombardia.

The property's intimate courtyard and period details provide an authentic Puglian backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

Guest accommodations within the palazzo allow wedding parties to stay steps from the celebration venue.

I definitely recommend staying at the Palazzo Bignami B&B! The hosts are communicative and gracious. The location great, walking distance to old town. The Palazzo is beautiful, with immaculate rooms and a lovely rooftop terrace (wonderful at sunset). The breakfast is delicious, with fresh pastries, fruit, juice and savory dishes. The hosts have everything you might need.
