the property was in a Palazzo, up one flight of stairs. It was clean, the staff were helpful and friendly and the continental breakfast was better than most. would happily stay there again.
Very helpful staff, traditional building in the old city centre. Very close to the various historic buildings, cultural and social venues and activities. Our room was unusual with a roof top terrace providing great views of the Duomo and other parts of the city. A very enjoyable stay.
We are staying at a suite, it has a big terrace and spacious. There are two bedrooms and a living room. The breakfast in the living room is beautiful and fresh.
The location is excellent. It is im the middle of the old town. Will go back next time.
Francesca is a fantastic host. We enjoyed our stay and the space was perfect for a family of four. Breakfast was the nicest of our trip. Great attention to detail.
This place was amazing. Our very own apartment in a palace. Our hostess, Francesca was very accommodating. The location is perfect for sightseeing in the old town. Only a five minute walk to the Duomo and all the shops and restaurants. Would highly recommend this place.
Staying in Palazzo Sambiasi was a wonderful experience. We had 2 large, beautifully furnished and comfortable rooms, plus a huge functional terrace. Francesca and her husband were lovely, gracious and helpful hosts. Breakfast was sumptuous, with different regional specialties every morning. I highly recommend Palazzo Sambiasi!

Historical building in the heart of Lecce
Wonderful residence and great host. We stayed in suite number 5 that has a 2 bedrooms, a main living room and a wonderful terrace. The breakfast is served in the living room. Make sure you close the door of the bedroom as staff will come in early to prepare breakfast! Terrific location
A unique experience be in a high ceilinged room in a palazzo in Lecce with exceptional hosts. Francesca, who lectures at the University, is gracious and welcoming and very helpful. Breakfast in a book-lined room was personal and individually served. A most memorable and enjoyable stay.
This is a lovely old palazzo. It is the host's, Francesca's family home. Lots of character. We stayed in the suite which is very large space with a private terrace. Very nice space
We had a great stay at Palazzo Sambiasi. Good location in the center of the old town of Lecce, close to all the things we wanted to see, restaurants and bars.
We had a large terrace with the room which was wonderful.
Note that the suggested free parking spot recommended was approx. 10 minute walk from the B&B.
Excellent communication by host, Francesca. Tea, coffee and snacks provided. Radiators in all rooms plus heater/ air conditioner in bedroom. Large apartment with antique furniture, felt like I was in a palace. Highly recommended.
Great stay, but be aware of the "free parking"
We stayed at this B&B, which is very well located in the historic center — perfect for exploring on foot. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet, and breakfast was delicious with fresh local products. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
The only downside is the "free parking" claim. You can’t actually drive into the historic center unless you're a resident, so there’s a risk of fines. Free parking is available, but it’s street parking about 4 blocks away — not on-site as the listing might suggest.
Other than that, it was a great experience and we’d definitely stay again.
It was a most amazing experience. A real palace, with the real owner of it, elegant, with a lot of history, huge, in the middle of the Old City.
Breakfast was served in the apartment itself, all delicious and fresh.
Francesca and Jose were extraordinary! In particular, on the last day, he drove us and the luggage out of the old city to be able to reach our car.
Nice breakfast...light and adequate. Excellent cappuccino! Host was gracious and friendly. Rooftop patio nice with some views of the city. Location excellent in midst of old city center. Abundance of dining choices.
This is the nicest stay we have had in 35 years of traveling. Huge room (s) in an old palace with antique furnishings. Our hosts were incredible. Great location and massive breakfast.
