Since July 2017 we are in the beautiful city of Lecce, with a refined B&B in the heart of the historic center, just a few steps from Porta San Biagio. In this place, art and design color and furnish environments according to our philosophy of well-being. In this small home of the 1500's, warm and welcoming atmosphere, we offer the comfort of two fully furnished suites designed for relaxation of mind and spirit, between art and design; an invitation to the pleasant discovery of the unique baroque city in Italy: Lecce. The attention to detail and the originality of the spaces characterize this small palace overlooking the church of San Nicolò. Breakfast is served at two steps in the historic ASTORIA caffé of Porta San Biagio under a fresh acacias hat with a choice of local and vegan pastries, smoothies, centrifuges, cold and hot drinks and the typical ice coffee. For the lovers of excellent Italian pastry, there is the chance to have the breakfast at the PASTICCERIA PINTI in front of the caffé ASTORIA. Check-in: from 2.30 pm. to 7.00 pm. on the day of arrival. THE ARRIVAL TIME CONFIRMATION IS STRICTLY REQUIRED 24H BEFORE YOUR CHECK-IN SINCE WE DON'T HAVE AN ONGOING CONCIERGE
After my law studies, I work from mre then 20 years as a sales/marketing consultant for important companies in the fashion market, where I've build up a specialization in the luxury segment. After managing for 10 years my own ART TO DESIGN gallery opened together with my boyfriend Nicolò Riguzzi in the center of Bologna, in April 2017 we moved to the beautiful city of Lecce to live the magic of Salento's Baroque and to dedicate ourself to our new B&B activity.
Our property is about 8 km from the beautiful beaches of Cesine on the Adriatic coast where the WWF oasis is located. Based on customer needs, we organize guided tours of the city and of Salento, to offer suggestions and trails among the most fascinating of this region. Lecce, in Puglia, is one of the most beautiful art cities in the Italian South. Known as "the Florence of the South", Lecce can surprise and fascinate tourists and visitors. Its ancient Messapic origins and the archaeological remains of Roman domination blend in fact with the richness and exuberance of the baroque, typically seventeenth century, of churches and palaces in the center. In this beautiful city you can easily walk on foot, along the streets and small streets and vikings rich in surprises: monuments, portals of the sixteenth century, effigies, bas-reliefs, engravings etc. Walking around this city is definitely the best way to discover all its secret corners, but also the bicycle is a valid ally for knowledge of so much beauty.
