Stupendous stay!

Staying in Palazzo Sambiasi was a wonderful experience. We had 2 large, beautifully furnished and comfortable rooms, plus a huge functional terrace. Francesca and her husband were lovely, gracious and helpful hosts. Breakfast was sumptuous, with different regional specialties every morning. I highly recommend Palazzo Sambiasi!

A unique experience be in a high ceilinged room in a palazzo in Lecce with exceptional hosts. Francesca, who lectures at the University, is gracious and welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast in a book-lined room was personal and individually served. A most memorable and enjoyable stay.

Great stay in Lecce

We had a great stay at Palazzo Sambiasi. Good location in the center of the old town of Lecce, close to all the things we wanted to see, restaurants and bars. We had a large terrace with the room which was wonderful. Note that the suggested free parking spot recommended was approx. 10 minute walk from the B&B.

Great stay, but be aware of the "free parking" We stayed at this B&B, which is very well located in the historic center — perfect for exploring on foot. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet, and breakfast was delicious with fresh local products. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside is the "free parking" claim. You can’t actually drive into the historic center unless you're a resident, so there’s a risk of fines. Free parking is available, but it’s street parking about 4 blocks away — not on-site as the listing might suggest. Other than that, it was a great experience and we’d definitely stay again.
