Palazzo Bignami

Our favourite stay on a recent trip to Puglia. It felt like a home away from home. The hosts, Liana and her husband, are very warm, kind and welcoming. Palazzo Bignami (PB) is located within walking distance to the center of Lecce old town, there is also free street parking if you're driving. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, clean, spacious and quiet. We slept so well in there. The entire b&b was created with alot of care and love, including their delicious breakfast spread every morning. Highly recommend staying with Liana if you're visiting Lecce.

Very much enjoyed our stay before embarking on the Via Francigena. Wonderful hotel, well-appointed room, helpful hosts, cool rooftop, cute dog and great breakfast. Thank you for a wonderful visit. We visited in April, just getting to this review in December, but Palazzo Bignami earned a five star review.

Such a special place. Beautiful, warm and welcoming. Have a lovely terrace on the top floor with great views of the city. Centrally located, amazing food, and welcoming hosts – they went out of their way to stay up later for us to arrive because of travel delays. Grateful I would stay here over and over and over again.

This very-lovely place has the trophy for the favourite hotel/B&B during an extended vacation in Italy. The people: fabulous. The place: also outstanding … 5 minute-walk from the train, 5-minute walk to the entrance to the historical centre of Lecce. It’s clean enough that you could eat off the floor, breakfast contains a good selection of whole food and also meat/cheeses (and lots of good baking), the espresso is better than the cafes, and the eating area is open much of the day for snacks, tea, etc. Much attention to detail (superbly comfortable mattresses, for example). 10/10.

Lovely property on the second floor of an old building with an amazing roof terrace on the third floor. Our room was Standard, I had asked for Deluxe but none were available. In fact the Standard room was perfectly fine and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Breakfast is delicious with lots of savoury and sweet choices served in the charming dining room. The property is full of character with high ceilings and tasteful ornaments. It is very well located within a short walk to the old city and the train station. I would recommend staying here if visiting Lecce. We also travelled by train for day trips to Otranto and Gallipoli from Lecce.

This is an excellent B&B very close to the centre of Lecce. Other reviews have covered all of the important highlights i.e. spacious and well furnished rooms, the excellent breakfasts with some different choices every day, the large roof terrace, the ease of parking and the friendly hosts. If you are looking for a B&B in Lecce I don't think that you will find anything better than this.
