La Dimora delle Grazie, Lecce, Italy
Property details
Ancient Lecce stone walls and vaulted ceilings at an atmospheric San Cesario di Lecce hotel, including breakfast, bike rental, wine and more. Refundable hotel - book with confidence
- Charm and authenticity: Housed in an atmospheric 16th-century stone building in San Cesario di Lecce's ancient heart and within the sound of the soul-searching church bells, La Dimora delle Grazie easily tops the authenticity chart. Wake up among ancient, vanilla-hued Italian walls made from the classic Lecce stone found in the Salento region, complete with charming vaulted ceilings.
- Simply yet attractive accommodation: You couldn't find a more authentic heart of the city to sleep in. Furnished in a simple and unfussy fashion, rooms hold dark wood antique furniture, wrought iron bedsteads and a warm and welcoming, home-from-home atmosphere. The beamed or arched ceilings and light stone walls add plenty of historic character, while modern amenities bring the rooms firmly into the 21st century.
- Lovely breakfasts: While there's no restaurant at the property, guests are treated to an open menu for breakfast at the Natale Pastry Shop a few steps away. By all accounts, the sumptuous and wholeheartedly local 'pasticciotto leccese' is the best.
