Palazzo Zimara Boutique Hotel - The D'Angelo Family Collection

I still miss Palazzo Zimara. David personally drove my vehicle, with me along, to the nearby parking lot and walked me back, and all the communication was seamless. We were greeted with a rosé cocktail and traditional Italian treats. The hotel has a gorgeous room, a lovely spa bathroom, and a great breakfast. I also enjoyed spending time in the little patio and balcony nooks. I’d highly recommend staying at Palazzo Zimara.

The location was just right, and we loved Lecce as well as our stay at Palazzo Zimara. My husband and I found the room wonderful, the service spot on, and the bed really comfortable. We’d happily stay here again.

The Zimara puts you right in Lecce’s historic quarter, close to restaurants, sightseeing, and ways to get around the area. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel in a renovated 15th-century mansion, with a peaceful, upscale feel. There are lots of places to sit in the garden and on the outdoor areas of other floors. The hotel also has a restaurant, patio bar, and fitness centre. Staff at reception, breakfast, and housekeeping were friendly, professional, and helpful, and made an effort to keep guests comfortable. Our room was sparkling clean and well equipped, with a safe, coffee service, and complimentary drinks and water in the fridge. The bedding and pillows were luxurious and comfortable. There are several TV channels and satellite options. One small gripe: the bed frame sticks out past the mattress, so I kept tripping over it or stubbing my toe. Breakfast each day and a welcome drink were included. There was yogurt and fruit, pastries, toast, eggs, and a choice of coffee.

Breakfast was great, and the staff were lovely, especially David, who was extremely helpful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped with modern amenities. It’s a recently renovated, beautiful palazzo in central Lecce, and the whole stay was exceptional.
