Follow in the footsteps of Lecce’s great families at La Fiermontina​ Palazzo Bozzi Corso, where 18th-century splendour is intertwined with modern art and design. A few minutes’ walk from the Duomo and Basilica Santa Croce, this 10-suite mansion offers you the chance to step back in time, living life as it was enjoyed by the city’s cloaked and feathered elite. Baroque stonework and a palm-strewn courtyard provide aristocratic grandeur on the outside; high ceilings, parquet floors and marble bath tubs deliver la dolce vita within. The rooftop pool is alluring for lazy soaks, but the hotel's in the city’s historic heart, too, putting many of the best bars, restaurants and boutiques within easy reach. Or, if you’d rather escape for the day, have the concierge arrange an indulgent cruise on Salento’s glittering waters.

  

La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso is in the Baroque city of Lecce, about 10 kilometers from Puglia’s eastern coast.
