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 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.

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

A gracious owner and host welcomed us to her special palacio. The staff were attentive, offered knowledgeable information and ensured our dining was to our satisfaction. They offer additional services with their sister property An enjoyable Italian experience

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!

Beautiful historic building with thoughtful modern interiors. Absolutely lovely.
