Risorgimento Resort, member of WorldHotels Elite

I was there with my daughter, son in law and 4 month old granddaughter for 4 nights in August 2025. Both of our rooms were fantastic, large, clean and filed with all the amenities one could ask for. The breakfast was scrumptious with a huge variety and the ability to order eggs any way we wanted. The best part of the hotel wasn't its location in the heart of Lecce but the staff. Warm, helpful with any request we made. Truly made us feel like very special guests. Cannot wait to return

Our experience at this hotel was average. It is in a great location in the historic old town. We walked everywhere. The location for us was the best aspect our stay. Our room and bathroom were spacious. Bathroom had decent amenities. Our bed was two twins pushed together. Comfortable enough. Our room tended to be hot even though a/cd. Turns out we could not adjust the air conditioning ourselves. We had to call to the front desk to adjust the temp and it just wasn’t cooling the room enough in the hot summer weather. The rate included breakfast which comprised a buffet of standard fare. We ordered waffles from the menu on one morning just for some variety. They were not good at all. The tiniest thinnest waffles I have ever seen and they charged us €12.00 for them. The staff we encountered were efficient enough but not particularly warm and friendly. Quite a contrast to the staff we met at the other hotels we stayed at during our time in Puglia and Rome. The hotel also didn’t seem particularly busy. I wondered whether we were the only ones on our floor as I |never saw another guest during our time. Not sure about this hotel. It served our needs in terms of having a clean spacious room, we enjoyed the location but it is not a hotel that I will rush back to. I don’t think it is value for money. There are nicer places to stay in Lecce I am sure.

Having booked our two night stay for 4 of us 12 months ago, I was appalled with the rooms we were allocated. Small and dark, so bad I threatened to switch hotels. Fortunately, they found us a front facing room 100% better, and roomier. Alessandro and his lady colleague on front desk were gems. Breakfast just about passed muster tho when u have to pay an extra E10 for an omelette,once again I thought they were taking the mickey, and the restaurant was very dark with an unattractive menu. As said, the location was fab and the proximity of the AliB bar across the square was very welcome. Also, the Volo (gf) and Tabisco restaurant ( great meat) and the walking tour made our Lecce stay most enjoyable.

The honest review. I travel a lot in my job, top hotels, but this was a family trip. |Great but first….. Start with a problem (people want honesty here) We had an issue with one of our 3 rooms, just a technical, the unexpected can occur. We got a new upgraded room, instant help to move.|The manager met me in the morning and everything was resolved, 5 star solution. Top service. |The hotel, location tops, center of everything! Rooms super clean, ours fully modern, roof top is fantastic and the staff up there, again, charming and attentive, same with staff at the very nice breakfast, great outdoor option to eat as well. Parking takes time, 15-20 minutes, but you are in the center of the old town, with no parking so it’s to be expected. Plan, easy as that.|Summary, people here add to what is a great hotel. Stay here when in Lecce.

The resort boasts a prime location, nestled in an area surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. However, reaching it by car is quite challenging due to extensive construction nearby, which can lead to some frustration for travelers. The clean and well-maintained accommodations reflect a rustic charm that might appeal to those looking for a more authentic experience. However, they may not meet the expectations of guests seeking modern luxury. One of the hotel's standout features is its impressive spa, which offers a serene atmosphere and a variety of reasonably priced wellness services that invite relaxation and rejuvenation. The resort is housed within a magnificent palace-like structure, showcasing exquisite architecture and intricate interior design elements that add to its allure. However, our experience with the staff left something to be desired. At times, they appeared disorganized, and our attempts to secure restaurant reservations were met with confusion, resulting in some mix-ups. That said, I would like to thank the management for their prompt apology and thoughtful gesture of providing complimentary fruits as a token of goodwill. Despite these minor setbacks, I genuinely believe the resort's exceptional location and beautiful surroundings outweigh any inconveniences. After all, you hardly spend much time in your room when there’s so much to explore and enjoy outside your door.

Absolutely comfortable hotel located in the heart of the city. Reception is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food selection for both breakfast and dinner was fantastic. The upstairs bar struggles a small but in serving large audiences, as I found it hard to get any waiters/waitresses attention. They tend to focus on larger tables. Otherwise a great spot.

Great hotel right in the centre. If you are driving just call the hotel before you get to the restricted zone and they will guide you in. Valet parking was brilliant. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. Rooms are big and high ceilings. Thanks for looking after us.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Huge room, great bathroom. Staff are excellent. Bring your own bottle down to the comfy lounge before heading for dinner! Breakfast is to die for! Perfect location in the city! Great outdoor patio on the sidewalk.
