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

Great stay in Lecce

We had a great stay at Palazzo Sambiasi. Good location in the center of the old town of Lecce, close to all the things we wanted to see, restaurants and bars. We had a large terrace with the room which was wonderful. Note that the suggested free parking spot recommended was approx. 10 minute walk from the B&B.

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.

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.

Livet er “ dolce” på palæet

Francesca og manden har været fantastiske værter. Enorm venlige og hjælpsomme , vi følte os kongeligt behandlet på et kongeligt sted. Palæet er meget smukt og gammelt, der er højt til loftet. Gårdhaven er hyggeligt med view til byen og katedrale tårnet. Vi vil anbefale Palazzo Sambiasi til alle de elsker Puglien og besøger Lecce .
