Palazzo Bernardini Suites

Past the carved limestone doorway of a 17th-century palazzo on Via Marco Basseo, Palazzo Bernardini Suites occupies one of Lecce's baroque backstreets a short walk from Piazza del Duomo — the historic centre's architectural centrepiece. A practical base for travellers exploring Salento's hill towns and Adriatic coast beaches by bicycle or rental car.

Suites feature tile and marble floors, private bathrooms with bidet, balconies, and in-room breakfast delivery — a notable alternative to a communal dining room. The property's spa menu runs from full-body massage to facial and hair treatments, with yoga classes and a personal trainer available on request.

Beach umbrellas are offered for coastal excursions, with shuttle service to the shore. Walking, cycling, and cultural tours depart from the concierge desk.
