We stayed in Palazzo Pio for 2 weeks. Itâs a huge, beautifully kept remnant of the 19th centuryâŠfull of antiques. The amenities were fine. Comfortable bed, good showers (there were 2 baths) and all the basics in the kitchen. We enjoyed trying to cajole the three cats and loved walking in the communal orange garden
Like staying in someoneâs large Palazzo. We were greeted by our host the grandson of the original owner. Close to the old historic city center this large Palazzo was a treat and high point of our trip.
This apartment is amazing, the photos donât do it justice. Spacious, comfortable, and a setting to match this wonderful city. The host was very helpful with any questions. The mosaic floors, throughout, are unique and beautiful. Very close to the historic area, easy walking, flat. I would recommend to anyone!
Three mature professional Australians stayed here.
Palazzo Pio was just amazing - huge rooms, beautifully furnished with fabulous mosaics on each floor in the apartment This was simply. It was like staying in a true palace, The owners were gracious and very helpful.
At the end of a day out, we could have drinks or even our own dinner in the beautiful garden, the Orangerie.
The Palazzo is in a great position just outside the old city. There were other suites downstairs but we had a huge space upstairs with so many gorgeous rooms.
Donât stay anywhere else in Lecce!
This was simply the best place we could have chosen.
Living in a true palace, of course, the garden s a welcom
Our host, Giuseppe, was quick to respond and flexible. He made our arrival very smooth. Staying at the palace is an unforgettable experience. Downtown Abbey was a favorite tv show, now we were living in a similar setting. The rooms are large, a dining room that comfortably seats twenty Intricately decorated ceilings, mosaic floors, stunning. And, of couse, the garden is a welcome respite from walking the old town. We miss the sweet kitty from the garden. If in Ecce
Are there more stars to give? Words cannot express the wonder of staying in this amazing place. It is HUGE. You will get lost. And as you wander around in your dazed state, you will be stunned even further by the beauty of the floors, walls, ceilings, furnishings. Have you traveled back in time? Are you Italian royalty? Kidding aside, we absolutely loved staying here. We got a warm welcome and tour of the apartment. It is in a great location just outside the city walls -- we found street parking easily and could walk everywhere we wanted to go in the city. There is a fruit/veggie vendor right across the street and a small grocery market in the same block. We were just a couple, but the place has two large bedrooms and two large bathrooms -- two couples or a family would be very happy here. You could even have a party -- the dining room table seats 15!! Our only nitpick would be that it would be nice to have a microwave to warm milk for coffee. Otherwise, this was the perfect place to stay to explore Lecce. It is a VERY good value for the money. Thank you!
Wonderful stay at the centro storico. Nice family Pio who owns the house for centuries and knows the best parts of town. Be a nobleman for a few days at their palazzo!
A most elegant and spacious retreat right in the heart of Lecce. We enjoyed the beautiful garden too
Giuseppe was a gracious host. We felt so relaxed and comfortable staying in this spacious beautiful home. The private garden was a wonderful retreat from the noises of the street. Lecce itself is a beautiful southern Italian town. So happy with our stay in this lovely home.
Per una breve vacanza nella bellissima cittĂ di Lecce abbiamo avuto il piacere di soggiornare a Palazzo Pio, aulica e intrigante dimora situata nel cuore della cittĂ .
Al nostro arrivo i proprietari ci hanno accolto con estrema cordialitĂ nel giardino privato accompagnandoci infine alla visita dell'ampio appartamento posto al primo piano.
Il soggiorno Ăš stato molto appagante sia per la tranquillitĂ del luogo che per la qualitĂ della struttura. In particolare abbiamo apprezzato la disponibilitĂ di parcheggio nel cortile interno.
Ringraziamo riconoscenti per la cura e la disponibilitĂ dimostrata.
Palazzio Pio was a fantastic place to stay. Located just 5 minutes walk from the historical center, 15 minutes from the train station with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from very close by. The owners were kind and hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation itself was amazing. An absolutely beautiful apartment, large rooms and everything you could possible need for your stay was provided. We also had access to the large internal courtyard garden which was a pleasant and peaceful place to while away a few hours.
We cannot wait to return!
