Risorgimento Resort could hardly be better placed for discovering the baroque masterpieces and historic treasures of Lecce. The Roman Amphitheatre is merely a few steps away, while the resplendent Basilica of Santa Croce, Lecce Cathedral and the Castle of Charles V are all within a five-minute walking radius. It blends in seamlessly with its ornate surroundings, too, as it’s housed within a mansion built with a similar shade of honey-coloured stone that you’ll find throughout the city.
It offers 41 rooms and six suites to suit a wide variety of tastes, each fitted with a TV, free Wi-Fi access, air conditioning and a marble bathroom. Some also have spacious living areas, private terraces and original frescoes and furnishings from the 19th century.
A delicious buffet breakfast awaits in the mornings, followed by authentic Salento cuisine and international flavours for lunch and dinner. There’s also a bar and an intimate rooftop terrace, from which you’ll be greeted by wonderful views looking out across the rooftops of Lecce.
After a day of exploring the sights, there’s no better place to unwind than the spa, which features a Turkish bath, chromotherapy showers and a massage room where you can indulge in a range of soothing wellness treatments. Alternatively, you might fancy a trip to the beach, which can be arranged with a private transfer service.
