Palazzo Maresgallo

Aristocratic by name, artistic by nature, Palazzo Maresgallo is a grand, gallery-style stay in the heart of Lecce. There’s so much to feast your eyes on (sculptural furniture, hand-painted frescoes, and photographic exhibitions are just part of the picture) you’ll almost wish you had an audio guide to wander the 16th century halls – and this is before you’ve seen your individually decorated suite, which will reframe your idea of how ancient rooms can be given an artful update. Every stone-walled inch has been carefully curated by a Parisian architect and his art-collecting wife, with Lecce’s masterpieces (the Duomo and Roman amphitheatre, for starters) to marvel at from the rooftop terrace and outdoor pool.

At the beating Baroque heart of Lecce lies Palazzo Maresgallo, just a few steps from the Duomo and within easy (driving) reach of Puglia’s beaches.
