Location
The comfortable 4-star Palazzo Dei Tolomei Lecce hotel is situated only 6 minutes' stroll from the Sigismondo Castromediano Museum and provides shuttle service, along with cars for rent. This Lecce bed & breakfast is in Old Town, which is renowned for the baroque style that characterizes portals, churches, spires, monuments and houses, not far from such natural sights as the Public Gardens.
The 12-century Castle of Charles V is just 0.7 km away, and culture-oriented attractions such as Convitto Palmieri Public Library lie just 600 metres from the hotel. Be sure to visit the Colonna di Sant'Oronzo a short way from the Palazzo Lecce. Also, the accommodation is nearly a 5-minute drive from the Parco di Belloluogo, and Lecce train station is located nearly a 10-minute stroll away. This Lecce hotel is steps away from Porta San Biagio bus station.
The rooms at Palazzo Dei Tolomei hotel are fitted with air conditioning as well as a mini-fridge-bar. There is also a private bathroom. Bathrooms come with a bidet, a separate toilet, and a shower, along with a hairdryer and towels. The rooms also look over the city.
While staying at the Palazzo, guests can choose from dining options nearby, such as Alex Ristorante, located merely 150 metres away, or La Scala at a 5-minute walking distance.
Review by hotel critic
The hotel is in an ideal location just outside the old town, allowing for peaceful evenings after a day's exploration. The beautifully converted Palazzo, with its spacious rooms, was exactly as portrayed in the photos, offering a comfortable retreat. My morning ritual included enjoying the generous breakfast on the stunning rooftop terrace, where the fresh and diverse offerings more than justified the extra charge. It was a delightful way to start the day and an experience that felt distinctly Italian and exclusive. The communication from staff before my arrival was seamless, and Barbara, the host, ensured we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The presence of air conditioning and free Wi-Fi provided the necessary comforts, while the cozy sitting area and elegant design made the space inviting. The Palazzo strikes a solid balance between luxury and value. While it may not be the cheapest option in Lecce, the experience certainly aligns with the costs, offering both comfort and authenticity that every traveler should appreciate.
