Palazzo Maresgallo Suites & Spa

There are places that welcome you—and then there are places that enchant you. Palazzo Maresgallo is firmly among the latter. We were four, arriving with curiosity and leaving with reverence. This noble residence, nestled in the historic heart of Lecce, transcends the notion of mere hospitality. It is an experience of cultivated elegance—where history whispers through vaulted ceilings, and every detail is a quiet masterpiece of design and grace. The suites are not simply rooms—they are sanctuaries of refined beauty, bathed in soft light and curated with textures that soothe the soul. Mornings in the garden felt suspended in time, and the rooftop, kissed by the southern sun, gifted us moments of serene wonder. One of us, our beloved aunt, had just undergone surgery and was traveling with great pain. The way she was cared for was nothing short of regal. The entire team treated her with the utmost tenderness, but it was the owner herself who moved us deeply—personally accompanying her to the pharmacy, ensuring every need was met with grace and attention. That kind of care cannot be trained—it comes from the heart. Palazzo Maresgallo is not simply a place to stay. It is a place of beauty, soul, and unforgettable humanity. A rare jewel for the discerning traveler—and now, for us, a cherished memory. abdala family with love

We were looking for an authentic destination in Puglia. The Palazzo Maresgallo exceeded every expectation. From the spacious and well-appointed suite, to the art-filled public spaces, to the warm and welcoming staff this place is perfect. |Miriam and her team went out of their way to make our visit special. |We would absolutely stay here on our next visit to Lecce.

I usually don’t write reviews but my stay here exceeded all the expectations I had. I’ve stayed in many 5 star hotels in my travels and the level of service as well as the whole property in general is above almost all the hotels I’ve stayed in before. If you’re staying in Lecce do yourself a favor and stay here

We had a wonderful stay to celebrate my birthday. Thank you so much Miriam for making our stay extra special!

Palazzo Maresgallo is exquisite! Impeccable and luxurious accommodation, and Miriam, the owner and host is gracious and wonderful. She greets every guest and assures them that if there is anything they might need, she will accommodate them. The attention to details is beautiful! There is a beautiful roof top terrace with views of the city with a full bar with a batender to enjoy before or after dinner cocktails.

We actually toured a number of luxury hotels in Lecce before landing on Palazzo Maresgallo for our honeymoon. Maria Laura made our dreams come true! Unbeatable location, phenomenal service, gorgeous pool and spa, and incredibly tastefully sourced art throughout the hotel. We were blown away and cannot wait to stay here again when we come back to Lecce. Thank you, Palazzo Maresgallo, for the best night of our honeymoon!

What a luxurious experience, literally the best we had traveling in Italy for 3 weeks! Every detail is curated in such an arty and cool way. The staff made us feel like family. Looking forward to returning someday for a longer visit!
