Palazzo Dei Dondoli

Booked a suite overlooking the hotels little garden and beyond. Very quiet but right near the walls of Lecce so easy walking into the very busy centre. Breakfast was served as a buffet downstairs which was excellent. All in all a great two days in Lecce.

We stayed at the Palazzo for three nights, it was a great base to explore Puglia. It was also an easy 4 min walk to the old town of Lecce. We had a car and there was plenty of free street parking near the Palazzo. The Palazzo is a little hard to find at first as it just has a plaque on the wall beside the front door. The staff were very friendly and explained everything about the Palazzo and also things to do and see in Lecce. They were very patient and answered all our questions. Our room was up three flights of stairs but luckily they had installed a small lift so we were able to send the bags up the stairs and we walked. Our room was large with a kitchen, eating area, separate daybed area as well as a large bedroom and bathroom. We had lots of French doors on to a balcony so we could open the doors at night and catch a breeze. It did have air conditioning. The room was very spacious and comfortable. I always think beds in Italian hotels look so uncomfortable as they have quite a small hard looking mattress but when you lie in them they are very comfortable. The breakfast was served in a lovely room on the ground floor, there were plenty of options. Lots of sweet treats, the pasticciotto was divine….make sure you try it if you go to Lecce. The only thing that could be improved at breakfast is perhaps a toaster and maybe poached eggs. I heard a few people ask for them and I would have loved to have some as well. Not a deal breaker, just a suggestion. We had a great stay here and would highly recommend it.

What a Gem. Gorgeous setting and spacious accommodation. Stayed 5 nights. Within Walking distance of the main part of town. Parking outside and an easy drive to main attractions in southern Puglia. Staff are amazing. Breakfast was delightful and fresh. Would gladly stay again

From the warm welcome from the lovely Beatrice to our beautiful terraced room to the yummy breakfast. This property tucked in the backstreet close to the old city was a hidden oasis. The garden was lovely to sip coffee, we loved everything about this property. Recently renovated.

The Palazzo dei Dondoli is a magnificent property that is an oasis from the bustling city of Lecce. The management and staff do an outstanding job catering to their guests every needs. We were a large multi-generational group (over 20 guests). From a 7 year old to an 80 year old, everyone felt important and included. The breakfast meals were perfect starters to a busy day! The roof garden that was open to us exclusively, gave a beautiful panoramic vista of the surrounding area. We were served an exquisite light meal away from the blistering heat that the area was experiencing. The attentive staff (especially Nicolo and Debra) provided many recommendations for dinner meals and local activities. We would recommend this property and our total experience to anyone!
