"A Truly Memorable Stay at Patria Palace – Lecce’s Hidden Gem From the moment I stepped into the lobby of Patria Palace in Lecce, I knew I was in for something special. Every detail of my stay was exceptional—from the elegant atmosphere to my spacious and comfortable room. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the staff. Every team member was friendly, courteous, and genuinely accommodating. They go above and beyond to make you feel less like a guest and more like a part of their extended family. A special shout-out to Alessia: as I was driving into Lecce, my GPS kept rerouting me through pedestrian-only streets. I called the hotel in frustration, and Alessia patiently stayed on the phone with me, figured out exactly where I was, and guided me step by step until I arrived safely at the front door. That level of personalized service is rare and greatly appreciated. Lastly, I can't forget to mention the rooftop bar—a perfect spot to wind down in the evening with an aperitivo while enjoying the views of this beautiful city. I can’t recommend Patria Palace highly enough. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience I’ll never forget."

"Excellent stay at Palazzo Saint’Anna. Staff were so friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. A shame we were only there for one night. We will come back for sure. "

"From the Arrival Experience and Associates were all 5 Stars!! The Hotel is Great; also, the associates are the ones that make it 5 Stars !!"

"From checking in with the 3-11 shift, to Breakfast shift , they were all wonderful!!!"

"Great property for the price. We didn’t have sheets and had to ask which they were a little weird about but again for what you pay, great hotel. Good breakfast too and in the best area "

"Great location, by the sea. Clean and nice staff. The swimming-pool isn't really a swimming pool, more a jacuzzy, but nice to be on the roof and enjoy the view on the sea."

"The location of the hotel is very convenient, the staff very friendly, breakfast amazing! The there floor where breakfast is served has an stunning view to the ocean. I definitely recommend this hotel and if I come back to Gallipoli I will definitely consider staying here again."

"Everything was excelent unless 2 items, one was the bathtub drain, was not working properly and it was a hole on the blanket for all my stay."

"Stayed here for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free bikes to use and a bus service into the city. Beaches 7 minutes by bike. Breakfast, ok, lots of fruit and croissants, buffet with waiter service for teas and coffee. Bar in both parts of the hotel and free teas and coffees. Great pool "
