Azzurretta occupies a half-floor of a historic building in the historic center of Lecce, so we could. not have had a better location to get a feeling of the old town. Our room was very spacious, with a little balcony overlooking the narrow street. The ceiling of the room was almost sky-high, with a unique shape, and the bed was modern and very comfortable. There was daily housekeeping, the room had a tea kettle, and every morning, the breakfast was served on the open roof-top terrace one floor up. The terrace was always open for the guest, so one could spend time having a glass of wine or sun bathing any time of the day. The breakfast was abundant and delicious, and included savory and sweet items, yogurt, jams, and a lot of fruit, and of course, coffee and tea, served the way you like it. Additionally, on our arrival, the owner - Tullio - gifted us with two bottles of wine, rosé and white, produced locally by his friend. Puglia's wines are really good by the way, as we noticed that they were also served at high-end restaurant in Rome. Also, every guest gets a booklet with the map and practical advices, all curated by Tullio, so we did not have to do much research about local and regional points of interest. Overall, we loved Lecce and Adriatic beaches just 30 minutes away, and staying in such a beautiful, comfortable and well-cared for place made out experience even more special. Thank you, Tullio and staff!

The location was very good, and the owner was helpful in responding quickly to any of our questions. We arrived by train and it was an easy enough walk from the station to the accommodation. We did get a bit lost in the lanes, but we were provided with a good hard copy map, which was helpful. The room was spacious and clean. Each day, fresh towels and drinking water were supplied. Unfortunately, we like a firm to hard bed, and this bed was spongy and soft - each to their own. The room had one window, so I felt closed in! The decor is a little dated, but for some travellers, this may be charming. Lecce old town is a beautiful place - lots of character and not too touristy. We had a great time.

The soft bed wasn't suitable to our liking.

Tullio was a welcoming and enthusiastic host, who was super helpful from booking to check-out. Upon arrival, he helped us with our bags, took us on a tour of the accommodation, and the rooftop (with amazing views) and then offered us a beautiful bottle of local Rose that he produces! He's written his own Guide to the City which includes tourist attractions, restaurants, and bars as well as guides to nearby cities, which was really helpful and localised. We would highly recommend including breakfast in this accommodation! Breakfast is served on the rooftop and it is all-natural and organic produce from Lecce and its surrounds. Absolutely beautiful and a great chance to chat with other guests staying at the accommodation. The room was beautiful with tall ceilings, a small breakout living room and a very comfortable bed.

Nothing - great stay and perfect location.

It's a wonderful location in the old town of Lecce; an old palazzo that retains character but where the rooms are comfortable and well equipped; a very cool roof terrace; and Tullio who runs it who provides a great breakfast and is just a great source of information: where to park, where to eat and things to see (including the things missed out by the guide books). Wow.

Parking in Italy especially near the old town is often a problem. Tullio helpfully provides advice - we found viale XX settembre always had spaces but is 6 min walk away. Fine for us. If you want to stay in the old town there is no alternative.

huge room with high ceilings. huge rooftop area for free time and breakfast with great views. tullio was a great host, he spent time goi g through the city map and gave us a book on Lecce for our time there. this was a great help in deciding what location where on our wish list. the breakfast was great. most items organic including gift wine for our afternoon relax. would definitely stay there again.

One of the best places I’ve visited! Our room with balcony was spacious and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was superb and much more than we had expected. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful space for breakfast and to see the sunset. Parking was easy, once we figured out the easi-park app. Lecce is a beautiful city and a great base for day trips exploring the region. Tullio’s map with itineraries was very helpful. Thank you Tullio and Cinzia!

Nothing. It is perfect.

Our stay in Lecce was made unforgettable thanks to our host, Tullio. His warm hospitality and helpfulness added an extra layer of comfort to our trip. The rooftop terrace was a true gem, offering breathtaking views of the city. What truly stole the show, however, was the house made breakfast - a delicious, personalised touch that set the perfect tone for each day. We highly recommend this delightful retreat for an authentic Lecce experience!

Nothing.

convenient location close to everything. Tullio is very enthusiastic and as an ex tour guide is a wonderful source of information that we should have tapped into prior to our one day visited. Tullio offers access to the property facilities during the day of departure which is very helpful especially if having a late departure for the Bari ferry. our room was amazing with a very high vaulted ceiling and we woke up to some crazy light reflections on it.

breakfast promised much but did not hit the mark.

Really central property, great host and the room was very modern and very good facilities. There was a fan and ac. There was a fridge, free water, just in general great accommodation.

Just be aware that there is two flights of stairs, so for people who need an elevator this is obviously something to take into consideration. Unfortunately these buildings are very old and are rarely fitted with an elevator. There was something to help with your luggage.

Absolutely gorgeous property with large spacious rooms. Air conditioning and hot water were lovely. Beds extremely comfortable. The rooftop was so amazing to relax on in the morning and evenings. Great location for all great restaurants, bars and activities. 10 min walk from the train station. Very safe area
