Lecce (Italy): First Travel Tips at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interesting and Exciting Facts About Lecce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The city of Lecce is home to around <strong>100,000 residents<\/strong>. The old town is pleasantly compact and can be explored on foot quite quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On Salento, the peninsula at the very south of Puglia, you will find no other city quite as big as Lecce, making it the largest city in the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lecce equals Baroque<\/strong>! While other parts of Puglia are known for their typical white-washed houses, Lecce boasts some of the most splendid Baroque attractions in Southern Italy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s no coincidence that the Baroque style in Lecce has its own name: <strong>Lecce Baroque.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lecce is <strong>not on the coast<\/strong>, but the sea isn&#8217;t far away. You can reach the coastline in about 20 minutes from Lecce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Many Days Should I Plan for Lecce?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lecce is small but mighty. The old town isn&#8217;t too spread out. In a few hours, you can at least see the key attractions from the outside. So, theoretically, a <strong>day trip<\/strong> is enough for a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;d recommend staying <strong>1 to 2 nights<\/strong> in Lecce during your trip through Puglia. We stayed one night (with plenty of time on our arrival day) and found it perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Must I Not Miss in Lecce?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who like it short and sweet, here&#8217;s a little best-of list of our travel guide. (More details about these highlights and attractions will naturally follow in the course of this travel guide.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the <strong>Cathedral of Lecce<\/strong> and don&#8217;t forget to check out the crypt beneath the cathedral. Wow!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marvel at the <strong>Roman amphitheatre<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soak up the <strong>Baroque flair<\/strong> of the city and remember to look up now and then.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try a Pasticciotto leccese<\/strong> \u2013 or better yet, several. This pastry filled with a kind of custard cream is typical for Lecce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39187\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39187\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39187 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Puglia\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39185\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39185\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39185 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Apulien-Sehenswu\u0308rdigkeiten.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Puglia Travel Guide\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lecce Travel Guide: Top Things to Do and See<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piazza del Duomo &amp; Cathedral of Lecce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>most important square in Lecce&#8217;s old town<\/strong> is the expansive Piazza del Duomo. As its name suggests, it&#8217;s dominated by the Cathedral of Lecce, the most significant sacred building and one of the top attractions in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baroque cathedral is quite monumental from the outside, but you should definitely take a look inside. Our tip: Don&#8217;t miss the descent to the <strong>crypt<\/strong>. The columned hall beneath the church&#8217;s interior impressed us the most. (Photography is prohibited here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, the cathedral also has a bell tower, known as the <strong>Campanile<\/strong>. An elevator swiftly takes you up to the <strong>viewing platform<\/strong>. From here, you can look in all directions and admire Lecce from above. Overall, it&#8217;s worthwhile, but at 12 euros, it&#8217;s not exactly cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, Piazza del Duomo is also lined with several <strong>other impressive attractions<\/strong>, such as the Palazzo Arcivescovile and the Palazzo del Seminario (= Antico Seminario). The latter not only houses the ticket office for the cathedral tickets but also a truly stunning courtyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information for Visiting the Cathedral of Lecce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Entrance fee<\/em>: Our tip: combined ticket for several churches 11 euros<br><em>Price for elevator to bell tower<\/em>: 12 euros<br><em>Opening hours and more

Croce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second key church in Lecce is the imposing Basilica Santa Croce. The <strong>intricately decorated facade<\/strong> of this basilica, featuring both Renaissance and Baroque elements, is a highlight in itself. Several artists contributed to this masterpiece. The completion apparently took an entire century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We definitely recommend you take a look inside the church as well. We personally really liked the comparatively <strong>simple church interior, lined with columns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also noteworthy is the unusual <strong>ceiling<\/strong> of the Basilica Santa Croce. The carved and gilded coffered ceiling, made of wood, dates back to the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information for Visiting the Basilica Santa Croce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Entrance fee:<\/em> Our tip: combined ticket for several churches 11 euros<br><em>Opening hours and more information<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chieselecce.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Churches of Lecce<\/a> (official website)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39093\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39093\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39093 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Basilica\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39091\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39091\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39091 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Basilika-Santa-Croce.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Basilica Santa Croce\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piazza Sant\u2019Oronzo &amp; Roman Amphitheatre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow the promenade (&#8220;Via Vittorio Emmanuele II&#8221;) eastwards from the cathedral, you&#8217;ll reach the expansive Piazza Sant\u2019Oronzo. This square is one of the most famous in the centre of Lecce and home to several attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s the 29-meter-tall column named <strong>\u201cColonna di Sant\u2019Oronzo\u201d<\/strong>, topped with a bronze statue of Saint Oronzo, who is said to have protected the city from the plague. (During our visit, the statue was not in its place, as a duplicate is being made to replace the original.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous attraction at Piazza Sant\u2019Oronzo is the <strong>Roman Amphitheatre<\/strong>. Yes, that&#8217;s right \u2013 an amphitheatre right in the middle of the city. Dating back to the 2nd century, it was actually discovered accidentally during excavations at the start of the 20th century. You can admire the amphitheatre from the outside and also visit it as part of a <strong>guided tour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--landscape\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1200\/801;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"1200\" data-pswp-height=\"801\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39101\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39101 size-large is--landscape\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater-1024x684.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Amphitheater.jpg 1200w\" alt=\"Lecce Amphitheatre\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39105\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39105\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39105 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Piazza-Sant-Oronzo.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Piazza Sant Oronzo\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39103\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39103\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39103 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Piazza-Sant-Oronzo.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Piazza Sant Oronzo\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roman Theatre (&#8220;Teatro Romano&#8221;)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Roman theatre, you might ask?

The castle houses several exhibitions, which seem to have mixed reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abbazia di Santa Maria di Cerrate:<\/strong> This impressive 11th-century abbey is not located in the old town of Lecce, but about a 20-minute drive away.

This shortcrust pastry filled with custard cream is typical for the region and available in nearly all cafes in the city \u2013 often in various flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also very popular is <strong>Caff\u00e8 leccese<\/strong>.

Meat and fish dominate the menu, but on request, the young chef prepared us two excellent vegetarian dishes. The restaurant is located in a quiet side street. When the weather is nice, you can sit outside in front of the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crianza:<\/strong> A popular, youthful spot with a relaxed atmosphere. They serve Italian cuisine, sometimes with a modern twist \u2013 like bruschetta, burgers, and salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pizza &amp; Co:<\/strong> Here&#8217;s a tip for all pizza fans. (Don&#8217;t be misled by the name.) In this small eatery, just around the corner from the cathedral, you&#8217;ll find excellent pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pasticceria Natale:<\/strong> This popular patisserie not only offers very good ice cream but also Italian sweets like the famous Pasticciotti leccesi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:801\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"801\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39142\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39142\" width=\"801\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39142 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere-684x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Vico-del-Cuciniere.jpg 801w\" alt=\"Lecce Vico del Cuciniere\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vico del Cuciniere<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"pswp-gallery__trigger is--portrait\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:800\/1200;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps.jpg\" data-pswp-width=\"800\" data-pswp-height=\"1200\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"39140\" sizeSlug=\"large\" linkDestination=\"none\" data-id=\"39140\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" class=\" lazyload wp-image-39140 size-large is--portrait\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" srcset=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps-683x1024.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sommertage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lecce-Restaurant-Tipps.jpg 800w\" alt=\"Lecce Restaurant Tips\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crianza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

You&#8217;ll stay very close to the centre: It&#8217;s just a ten-minute walk to the cathedral. Yet, the Palazzo is on an easily accessible street, making the approach straightforward. By the way, you can <strong>park<\/strong> for free right on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, back to Palazzo Bignami. There are only ten <strong>rooms<\/strong> in various categories, all of them <strong>lovingly furnished<\/strong>. The bed was a bit too &#8220;springy&#8221; for our liking, but that&#8217;s really nitpicking at a high level. Overall, you feel very, very welcome, partly due to the exceedingly accommodating host couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special <strong>highlight is the breakfast<\/strong>. In Italy, we usually lower our expectations, but here, we were pleasantly surprised. A dreamy buffet is served with many local products \u2013 cheese, fresh fruit, delicious focaccia, the best cakes, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our conclusion:<\/strong> Great value for money. Very friendly and helpful owners and an excellent breakfast. We&#8217;d book again!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate\">\n      <div class=\"affiliate-icon\">\n        <div>\n                      <svg
