Mgallery Patria Palace

From the moment we arrived at Patria Palace, we knew we were in for a special stay. We were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco and a calm, professional check-in that immediately set the tone for the exceptional service we experienced throughout our visit. The hotel is luxurious, beautifully maintained and perfectly located in the heart of Lecce, making it ideal for exploring the city’s stunning architecture and atmosphere. The service was truly outstanding. One gesture that really impressed us was when the concierge noticed our hire car was quite dirty after collection and kindly gave it a quick clean before we headed out. It was completely unexpected and summed up the hotel’s attention to detail and genuine care for its guests. Breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. The quality and choice were exceptional, with freshly baked breads and cakes, an extensive buffet and eggs cooked to order in every style. It was one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve enjoyed. The rooftop bar is another must-visit, offering a wonderful atmosphere and beautiful views over the magnificent Basilica di Santa Croce – the perfect place to relax with a drink after a day of sightseeing. The only minor area for improvement would be the bathrooms, which, while perfectly clean and functional, would benefit from being updated and modernised to match the luxury and elegance found throughout the rest of the hotel. Patria Palace combines luxury, outstanding hospitality, incredible food and an unbeatable location. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lecce.

Don't think twice about treating yourself to this five-star experience! From the most helpful staff to super spacious rooms (even the lowest category) along with a great location in the heart of Lecce's old town - they even have valet to help you park your car. I absolutely loved staying here. The most sumptuous breakfast served alongside a harpist?! Truly breathtaking. Don't even think twice about booking your stay here.

Incredible is the only way to describe this hotel. We stayed here for 3 days while visiting Lecce and the highlight of our trip was the hotel and staff. Every interaction with the staff was delightful and pleasant and they went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Breakfast in the restaurant each morning was such a treat with either a harpist or violinist playing in the background. The buffet and a la carte selections were of the highest quality. The rooms are beautifully furnished too and immaculately clean. We stayed in one of the terrace rooms with a jacuzzi on the outdoor deck terrace and that was a treat every evening after a day of exploring Apulia. The staff also went out of their way to arrange for tour guides and drivers to make our adventures more seamless. No request was denied. Upon leaving early in the morning, the staff had breakfast boxes ready for us to take on our trip. How thoughtful! The location of Patria Palace in Lecce is also perfect as its slightly off the main square and a few blocks away from the center of the historic district. We hope to return to Patria Palace one day again. We hope fo definitely return here
