Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Lecce
Choosing the right arrival point for Lecce depends largely on your departure location and travel priorities. Brindisi Airport (BDS) is the primary gateway for the Salento region and the most convenient for most international visitors, offering efficient shuttle and train links. Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport (BRI) is a major international hub serving the northern part of Apulia; while further away, it provides excellent connectivity via regional trains. The other airports are located in neighboring cities and serve different needs. Crotone Airport (CRV) serves the Calabria region and is physically distinct from Lecce. Tirana International Airport (TIA) and Corfu International Airport (CFU) require multi-modal travel, typically involving ferries across the Adriatic or Ionian Sea, making them better suited for those combining a trip to Italy with travel in Albania or Greece. For budget-conscious travelers, Brindisi offers the most straightforward options, whereas Bari is preferred for those arriving on long-haul or major international carriers.

Old Town Lecce|0.31km from city center
The hotel is particularly convenient in the old city, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the main attractions.
The design and decoration of the hotel and guest rooms is great! It retains a medieval atmosphere and modern style, as well as a modern artistic sense! The rooms are very spacious.
The hotel owner is warm and attentive. On the day I drove to the hotel, I was catching up with the temporary road construction on the local road. The navigation could not guide the feasible road. It was the hotel staff who helped drive to the hotel. It was great!
The parking fee is 25 euros/day, and it is necessary to make an appointment in advance and be confirmed. Note that there are strict administrative regulations for driving in the old city.
Breakfast is great! It is the kind of order + buffet.FromUS$316

Lecce is a beautiful City and this hotel was an excellent choice. I simply can’t fault it at all. The location is fantastic but what really makes this place is the quality and professionalism of the staff. They were all so friendly and attentive.

Then pool was okay but the birds kept on flying in and drinking from it so I got out of there to avoid avian flu which would have destroyed my vacation. They need to really keep the birds out of the pool.
They also don’t have a clothing steamer or irons so you might need to wear your wrinkly clothes or pay them and they return it back ironed the next day.
The toilets had low water pressure so sometimes to took like 3-5 flushes to get rid of all the toilet paper and poop.
The location is about 1 km from the city centre and a bit further from the Leece station.
The breakfast was comprehensive and had the standard things like hams, cheeses, pancake machine and ice creams and gelato for 15eu . This is probably a good value since a pasta is about 10-13 eu nearby anndni nthe city centre including the taxes.
I don’t know if I’d stay here again.FromUS$122

Ugly building outside, a curse on Lecce's beauty.

Overall I would give the hotel a 3+ rating. It's not a four star as there are too many things that let it down. The staff are great especially Betty on Reception and Mohamed the Restaurant Waiter.
Areas that need to improve are room cleaning - we had a problem with ants so had to change room. The second room was okay. The music in the restaurant and pool area was boring on repetitive. I appreciate they have a theme but they need a bit more imagination and encourage the guests to enjoy themselves.FromUS$195

The hotel sheets and quilt cover were obviously not changed after the last guest checked out. There were hair and a lot of black fiber balls on the sheets and quilt cover. Call the front desk at 23 o'clock in the evening to help deal with it. The front desk said that it would not speak English. It also said that room service was off work. As a star-rated 4-star hotel, it was a bit speechless. The neighborhood where the hotel is located is not a local neighborhood, many are foreign faces, pay attention to safety when traveling at night.FromUS$145

I had a truly pleasant stay at this hotel. Upon arrival, I received a free upgrade to a superior room: spacious, clean, and with an extremely comfortable bed.
Breakfast was another highlight, rich and varied, both sweet and savory, with the ever-present pasticciotto leccese making the morning even more special.
The staff was always kind, attentive, and available to satisfy every need.FromUS$70

Hotel is very close to train station. Very convenient for hopping on a train to get to hotel and to next destination. No convenience store in close proximity and hence difficult to buy tooth paste and tooth brush that hotel doesn't provide. Only one kebab shop is in close proximity to the hotel and if you do not like kebab you have to walk quite a distance for food.FromUS$117
