La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso Hotel

The Bozzi Corso is one of the finest properties we have ever experienced, only to be exceeded by its amazing staff! The hotel is located on one of the main streets in Lecce, but once we entered the private courtyard, it was like being in a different world with artwork scattered throughout the property. The staff greeted us on arrival and made us feel like family during our entire visit . Our room was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom that was well lighted ( apparently something important to my wife) Breakfast in the garden was a morning treat, with fresh fruit, local pastries, and excellent cappuccino by Iman. The beautiful rooftop bar was an afternoon ritual with mixologist Aldo and his creative cocktails. Another enhancement to staying at Bozzi Corso is access to the other La Fiermontina properties located a few minutes easy walk. Dinner at their Zephyr restaurant, in the garden among the ancient olive and citrus trees, was a special experience. Although I'm not usually interested in art museums, I highly recommend taking advantage of the private tour... an incredible story. From either property, old town Lecce is easily walkable with numerous bars, restaurants and ample shopping. The staff arranged a private walking tour for us, and our guide, Gabriella, was a real expert on the city history and culture. Another special experience arranged by the staff was a cooking class by Livio, a fun and educational hands-on cooking and eating afternoon. Without exception, every staff member happily provided excellent service, with Sarah being the true ambassador of the property and Lecce. The best hotel experience in Lecce!

We stayed in the Lady Astor suite and it was very authentic with the bathroom exactly as it was with Lady Astor. The suite was large with plenty of closet space and we had a nice patio to sit outside. The museum tour given each night to guests at no charge was worth doing. The love story is better than Romeo and Juliet. Great location and nothing was more than ten minutes away. Very flat so easy walking. Lots of bars around if you don’t want to go to rooftop at hotel. Personally the rooftop at hotel was lacking in service and bartender had an attitude. Didn’t distract from stay as didn’t go again. A huge shout out to Bernadette whom was spot on with lunch recommendations for each town we visited. She also wrote down suggestions for our next stay. Bernadette is a doll and Fiermonte is lucky to have her. She really made our stay so special. She couldn’t do enough for us. This was a wonderful stay!!! Grazie

This hotel is truly wonderful. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, they bent over backwards to help with lost luggage and I am so grateful (they called the airport and airline constantly until they got answers!). The room was perfect-spacious and luxurious. The breakfast was extraordinary and the roof top bar was very elegant and high end. The massage at the spa was one of the best I’ve ever had. This is a slice of luxury and is a very special place run by special people. I hope to go back one day!
