The upscale Patria Palace Lecce is set in a handsome 18th-century palazzo positioned in the center of historic Lecce, just opposite the gorgeous Basilica di Santa Croce. Interiors are an elegant blend of original Baroque touches and Art Deco features, a sensibility that extends to the 67 traditionally styled guest rooms as well. Eating and drinking options are excellent, especially the extensive breakfast buffet, while the hotel features cityscape views from upgraded rooms and a roof terrace. Those who find the decor a little old fashioned for their tastes may prefer the similar, but more modern, Risorgimento Resort nearby.

The Roof Barocco Suite B&B is a special place to stay, with just two suites located on the top floor of an 18th-century house. Owned and operated by a husband and wife, the property feels like a home, but better. The B&B's warm, welcoming vibe begins out front, as cars park on the cobblestone street before the white facade decorated with sprays of purple cascading flowers. The welcome basket filled with homemade and locally sourced artisanal delicacies, such as biscuits and olive oil, sets the tone for a one-of-a-kind, pampered stay in historic Lecce. If rooms are booked, try the nearby and similarly priced Centro Storico B&B, housed in a 16th-century palace.

This old farmhouse has been transformed into an intimate Moroccan-themed hotel located in the southern Italian region of Salento. The beautiful, natural-looking pool and spa make LuciaGiovanni an exotic escape that’s unmatched -- unless you hop a plane to Morocco. The 28 rooms have stunning details such as wood-beam ceilings and wrought iron four-poster bed frames. The property is vast and green and provides a relaxing oasis, but is only a short drive to the old part of the city.
