Pollicastro Boutique Hotel

Location, decoration, rooms, breakfast

The staff were great and the property is super clean. I love the historical stone work that they have as well.

No issues to be honest. I think the only thing I would recommend is that only room one has the cool whirlpool that you see in the pictures. It can be confusing when you are looking at everything.

Really nice large split level family room. Lots of space. Good location in old town Lecce.

Breakfast was fabulous! The staff could not have been more helpful and the location of the hotel was perfect.

Absolute top. Beautifully renovated palazzo in old town centre. Five star approach to the guest, by reception staff, breakfast staff, valet parking staff. Rooms, bathroom , all was really good!

Because it is inside the old town narrow streets, it was really , really hard to find, even when the hotel had given previous location instructions. Navigation systems are not reliable in these streets. Suggestion to offer a valet pick up service at the edge of the old town ..

One of the loveliest hotels we have stayed at (and we have stayed in quite a few very nice ones across the world). Every corner and piece of furniture and fitting, was elegantly and artistically designed. Room was large and the large complimentary bottle of drinking water provided each day was very much appreciated. Staff were very friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much. Having walked through the old town of Lecce so many times, we did not see a nicer hotel. If we ever return to Lecce, there would be no other choice for us to stay at other than this one. We wouldn't miss the chance to stay there again.

The bathroom was exquisitely designed but the shower area needed a door. The floor next to the shower area got very wet after each shower. The hair conditioner dispenser was not working properly throughout our 5 nights stay. We asked for it to be fixed but it was not done. If we needed a change of towels, we were instructed to throw the towels on the floor, which did not seem like the right thing to do. A basket for used towels that needed to be changed would have been nice. The bed was larger than the mattress provided, leaving an exposed ledge on one side of the bed, which created an obstacle when getting onto the mattress.

This hotel is gorgeous! The decor throughout is very classy and the setting is the historic stone along with updated plaster. The lobby area had a bar along with a lovely lounge to sit in and an eating area for the breakfast. The room was very spacious and extra table/counter space to use our laptops, look at maps, and enjoy our coffee in the room. The bathroom was large and had a very good amount of space for our toiletries. Our room had two balconies--the balconies were small but cute and had an excellent view of the beautiful street. The rooftop garden was so amazingly beautiful--we we enjoyed that space several times to have our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The location is excellent--from the hotel you can easily walk the whole of Lecce's old city and tourist sites. There is valet parking offered or park a short distance away outside the residential use zone. All the staff spoke excellent English and were very willing to help. The breakfast was very good with pastry and cheese options.

The only thing that would have improved our experience would have been cooked-to-order food such as eggs included but this hotel did not include a restaurant so we didn't expect cooked breakfast.

A beautifully, architecturally designed hotel with attention to detail in the historic centre of Lecce. Artwork around the hotel was a feature to admire! Staff were welcoming and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. Breakfast was in abundance and catered well for a gluten free option. There is also a lift which is a help! A small boutique hotel full of old charm with modern facilities.

Everything was wonderful! As our room had stairs to go up and down to the bathroom, mobility issues may be a problem for some.

We loved the location, size of the room and the overall experience in Lecce

Where to start!..... Gorgeous 16th century palace remodeled into a lovely hotel that is one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed and we travel a lot. It is centrally located, walking distance to everything and made me feel like a renaissance nobel but with all the modern day amenities. Roof deck, stately bar, wonderful spa, lounging areas that you'd want to linger for hours, and the most wonderful breakfast we have ever had in a hotel. Fresh and local fruits (kiwi and pineapple and berries), local meats and cheeses, home made breads, home made pasteries, home made jams, fresh squeezed juices, artisan yogurts, everything you could ever want. Even coffee and eggs to your order. You know when you get breakfast with your room and it's all so blah and generally lack luster? Well this is the polar opposite. I felt like I was eating breakfast at some rich lords home that was a foodie and loved the best of the best of everything. It was HANDS DOWN the best breakfast at a hotel we have EVER had. The decor was timeless, rich, and well appointed to the previous palace. Art work was beautiful and creative. The rooms were HUGE and palatial. Gorgeous marble bathrooms with good toiletries and everything you need. Space for all of your travel. Huge bathtubs. Big closets, Great mini bars and the beds! ah the beds were luscious and you could pick what kind of pillow you wanted even though the 2 they put on your bed were perfect.

Absolutley nothing. This is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Just stunning and the staff was incredible, especially the breakfast staff. Don't forget to tip them a little!

Central location , clean , nice breakfast

The hotel is a former palace that has been converted into this beautiful hotel. The architecture is just stunning. The artwork around the lobby makes you feel that you are in a museum. Everywhere you looked was a feast for the eyes.The staff was very accommodating and really cater to your needs. We felt very pampered at this hotel.

There was nothing.

Great location also 10 min walk to the old town which is just beautiful.I have stayed in a lot of good hotels in Italy but this has been the best was just amazing. Staff also so nice and very helpful.

Loved everything about this hotel.

Diversity and creativity of rooms, the breakfast selection, friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the wonderful roof terrace, and the art collection

The elevators were too slow and we were scared to get stuck

Just wow! This hotel had us obsessed! Beautiful grounds, Modern Art, location, staff and the most stunning rooms. Many with quirky gems like bath/pools in the outside area, round beds and a private natural pool in one room. High cleanliness and wonderful breakfast choice and presentation. Couldn’t stop taking pictures!

Location. Historic building. Decor. Character. Room/comfortable bed. Cleanliness. Breakfast. Valet parking. Staff/Service were superb (especially Yulia on reception - great restaurant recommendations too). Roof terrace.
