Palazzo Guido

Palazzo Guido is a beautiful property, between tradition and modernity. Geltrude is an amazing host, full of recommendations of food and tips around the region. The location of the property is perfect for wandering into the city center of Lecce. We enjoyed the rooftop, with a terrific view on a church. Breakfast and access to the spa are available for a fee. My advise is to bring earplugs to sleep for rooms facing the street as it is quite noisy at night because of the old window frames (the charm of the old! :) )

Last month we spent 6 magical nights in the extraordinary Palazzo Guido. We have stayed in many, many fabulous hotels but nothing comes close to Palazzo Guido. The building itself is incredibly special from an architectural point of view and rooms have been decorated elegantly and with every possible need anticipated. Owner Geltrude and her colleague Antonio treated us like their personal house guests and could not have done more to look after us, giving advice and making arrangements as needed. Christina was very attentive serving our delicious breakfast. The bar facilities were generous; Antonio makes the best G&T my husband (a G&T devotee) has ever had. The hotel is perfectly located. You could not want one thing more from a hotel. Palazzo Guido is a very special place and experience.

We received a personalised service from Geltrude, the owner. The Palazzo has been in her family for generations. Filled with beautiful treasures and hidden terraces. Her team are generous from the varied breakfasts to Willy Wonka sweet table. Geltrude is also a brilliant tour guide, providing advise everyday on where to go and what to do in Puglia. A wonderful place from which to tour the region
