La Fiermontina | Palazzo Bozzi Corso

An amazing hotel! Wonderful location, incredibly friendly and helpful staff and beautiful rooms. The breakfast area is charming and the roof ideal for a sundowner. We were constantly in touch with staff by WhatsApp during our daytrips - they even made restaurant reservations in other towns. Parking is not an issue (although the hotel is hard to find with a car). Brilliant!

We stayed in the Lady Astor Suite for 4 nights in July 2025 and couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The room is very grand and luxuriously appointed, with a very comfy bed and good pillows. I especially loved sitting in the historic marble vanity area to put on my makeup every day. The entire hotel is a treat to stay in; you really feel like you’ve gone back in time and are a house guest in an ornate palazzo. But the most memorable part of our stay was how friendly and helpful all of the staff were. Sarah in reception helped us with numerous reservations, Aldo at the rooftop bar made us delicious craft cocktails every night, and our server (whose name I forgot to ask) at their delicious breakfast was always a charming, bright start to our day. Finally, the porters were all so quick and friendly about getting our car for us — it made taking little beach trips in the area so easy. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Lecce.

I rarely write reviews, but a place as exceptional as La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso deserves every word. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary: the stunning suites, the elegant ambiance, the delicious food, the incredible artwork, and most of all, the warm and attentive staff. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and intimate. I chose this special place to propose to my girlfriend, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The staff went above and beyond to ensure the moment was unforgettable, their care and dedication truly meant the world to us. By the time we left, it felt like we were saying goodbye to family. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable stay in what I believe is Italy’s most romantic city, I can't recommend La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso highly enough.

Aldo made our rooftop experience unforgettable! His specialty drinks were creative and delicious, and his friendly conversation made the evening feel so personal. He even helped us capture incredible photos with the city views. Exceptional service—ask for Aldo if you want to love your night!

From the moment we arrived at La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso, we knew we had found something extraordinary. Perfectly located in the very heart of Lecce’s old town, this exquisite historical palazzo has been transformed into a ten-room boutique hotel that feels like both a private sanctuary and a living work of art. The rooms are spacious, eloquent, and filled with artistic details that honor the history of the building while offering every modern comfort. Breakfast each morning was one of the finest we have experienced anywhere in the world, and we have traveled extensively. It was beautifully presented, prepared with consistency and care, and carried the warmth and heart of the people who serve it. What truly elevates this place is the team. They are not simply hotel staff, but a family who love the property and embody its spirit. Their deep knowledge and affection for the building’s history and its artwork is woven into every interaction. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, an impressive and down-to-earth gentleman whose eloquence and graciousness reflect in the way the hotel is run. From the very start, we were guided and cared for. Even before arrival, the team helped us with advice on the best way to reach the property, removing any stress from our journey. Once there, we were looked after as though we were personal guests. Sarah, who welcomed us, was a delight, young, enthusiastic, warm, and wonderfully attentive. She is the kind of person who makes you feel instantly at home. On our final evening, Aldo, the bartender on the rooftop terrace, prepared us some of the best cocktails we have ever had. The rooftop setting is magical, and Aldo’s charm and friendliness made it feel as though we were enjoying drinks in the home of an old friend. Lecce itself is enchanting, often called the Florence of the South, and rightly so. It is a buzzing, vibrant town filled with exquisite food, excellent wine, and an energy that makes it a joy to wander and get lost in. To step out from the palazzo straight into the heart of this historic town was a luxury in itself. La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso is not just a hotel, it is an experience. It is a family property generously opened to the world, allowing a lucky few to share in its beauty. There is a sister hotel just ten minutes away, offering more amenities such as a swimming pool, but for us this palazzo is the true gem. It offers an intimacy, a sense of history, and a location that is unmatched. For anyone who wishes to be immersed in the beauty of Lecce, to be welcomed with genuine care, and to stay in a place where history, art, and hospitality come together so perfectly, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It was, from beginning to end, an extraordinary experience for both my wife and me, and one that we will always cherish.

We loved our stay at the Palazzo. While it's not the main property, I think we actually preferred the intimacy and boutique feel to this hotel over the main location (which we visited). We have a 5 month old baby and the staff was super attentive and helpful. She was the princess of the building during her stay here. The owners have great taste in interior design and art. A beautiful combination of history blended with modernity that both the Italians and Japanese seem to have mastered. And, if you're a Beatles/Lennon fan, you will find a lot of memorabilia due to a friendship between one of the owners and Yoko Ono. We stayed in room 10 which was great to have a bit more space with a baby and having to work a few hours here and there. And, of course, the location is great if you want access to the many historical buildings in the centro storico. While most of the patrons were probably retirees, I recommend this place to anyone traveling with a family and can splurge a bit.

From the moment we arrived at Palazzo Bozzi Corso, we were greeted warmly by their wonderful staff who felt like family from the start. This boutique hotel is beautifully decorated with art sculptures, old world charm and modern amenities. It is an intimate hotel that has approximately 10 rooms; each beautiful and well appointed. This hotel is centrally located to shops, restaurants, etc. which are all in walking distance. La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso is an experience not to be missed if you want an authentic Italian experience

Beautiful hotel- spectacularly designed. We travel to high end places a lot- so this review is based on what one would expect from a higher end establishment. The rooms are not sound proof. So you can basically hear other guests conversing, and it sounds as though they are in your room. Also, front desk does not have any good recommendations for good restaurants to try outside the hotel. They sent us to one and as soon as we stepped in- we quickly left. Finally, as gorgeous as the property is- it lacks atmosphere. The music at night was American 80's music. It is such a beautiful place though.
