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.

This place was amazing. Our very own apartment in a palace. Our hostess, Francesca was very accommodating. The location is perfect for sightseeing in the old town. Only a five minute walk to the Duomo and all the shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend this place.

Historical building in the heart of Lecce

Wonderful residence and great host. We stayed in suite number 5 that has a 2 bedrooms, a main living room and a wonderful terrace. The breakfast is served in the living room. Make sure you close the door of the bedroom as staff will come in early to prepare breakfast! Terrific location

Feeling like a queen and king

It was a most amazing experience. A real palace, with the real owner of it, elegant, with a lot of history, huge, in the middle of the Old City. Breakfast was served in the apartment itself, all delicious and fresh. Francesca and Jose were extraordinary! In particular, on the last day, he drove us and the luggage out of the old city to be able to reach our car.

Lovely Family Palazzo in center of Lecce.

If you have family who were kind enough to invite you to stay with them in their palazzo, that’s what staying in the palazzo Sambiasso is like. We stayed in a very large apt. in the heart of the old city of Lecce. Easy walking distance to historic sites, shops and restaurants. It’s furnished with beautiful family heirlooms. Francesca and Jose are the kindest of people and very gracious hosts. Breakfast was just beautiful. If you want a modern hotel, this is not it. This is a very unique, old world experience with great charm.

Francesca and Cose were excellent hosts. They picked us up at the train station and then brought us to the Palazzo. We had a very large two-bedroom suite filled with antiques and interesting family portraits. Each morning they provided us with a customized breakfast (for an additional price). Francesca also introducted us to a very good guide who showed us several cities in Puglia. Palazzo Sambiasi is extremely well located in the historic area of Lecce. It is easy walking distance to all of Lecce's baroque churches plus the Roman amplitheatre and theatre. We would strongly recommend Palazzo Sambiasi to guests who want to stay in a historic palace in the center of Lecce. Gamal and Erenst

Die Unterkunft hat ein enormes Potential, es fehlt aber an einige Investitionen an Mobiliar, was zum historischen Palazzo passen würde. Am sonsten alles sauber und ruhig. Luca beim Frühstück sehr hilfsbereit. Beim einchecken müssten wir erst warten bis 16 Uhr damit jemand da ist. Bei der WhatsApp Nummer gab es nicht immer eine Verbindung. Länger Parken muss man es außerhalb der historischen Stadt, 500 m entfernt, tun.
