Palazzo Persone is a unique boutique hotel in an amazing location in the beautiful Lecce in Puglia, Italy. Long Travel clients love where the Boutique Palazzo Persone is located, its style and its informality.
The Baroque and beautiful Basilica of Santa Croce is part of the beating heart of Lecce’s centro storico and Palazzo Persone, a spectacular boutique B&B, is right next door. Impressively huge double doors open into a beautiful, secret courtyard of arches and balconies, telling you, from the moment you arrive, that you are somewhere special at the Palazzo Persone.
As if the stupendous location is not enough, this unique former palace and synagogue will take your breath away. With only six rooms, boutique hotel Palazzo Persone has real designer style. Ancient blends with ultra-modern. Traditional materials and Pugliese ceramics are set against crisp, contemporary interiors. Quality, luxury and comfort sit with cool, minimal simplicity. Every room is different at the unique Palazzo Persone. Some have small windows. Others have none, but have glass panels in the door. Some overlook the façade of the Basilica, some the courtyard and others have direct access from one of the typically narrow streets of Lecce’s historic centre.
The contemporary and unusual style and the relaxed informality of the hotel Palazzo Persone extends to the absolutely charming café/bistro, on the ground floor, and popular with Long Travel guests and Leccese folk too. This acts as the focal point, so don’t expect to find a traditional reception or bar. You will be welcomed at Palazzo Persone’s “Bistrot/Caffe”. Breakfast is served in the bistro and tables spill outside in summer, into the narrow side street. The buffet lunch they offer is a must try, great value, delicious and seemingly never-ending!
Palazzo Persone just has everything for us here at Long Travel and so has Lecce, often overlooked, and that is a shame. Any itinerary in Puglia should include Lecce, by law! Spoil yourselves by combining a few days here, with other places in Puglia. In fact, it’s a must!
