This was probably our favorite hotel in our recent trip to Puglia. Although we stayed at many wonderful places, the Santa Maria Suites, etc. was truly the best value for what we received: a huge suite, immaculate and beautifully appointed and a terrace over looking a park. We were completely spoiled. And their breakfast in the morning was incredible! Original, generous with baked goodies, a variety of fruits, and some of the best scrambled eggs I've ever tasted.
And it's very quiet, but know, it is also a little walk away from the historic center. But frankly, after a couple of rather substantial dinners in the historic center, we were happy for the walk back. If you're heading to Lecce, you'll love this place.
