Risorgimento Resort

Stayed for 6 nights in Presidential Suite . Lovely big bedroom / bed and fantastic lounge with huge TV. Terrace is fantastic to sit out on watching Lecce go by ! Super coffee machine . Ceilings are wonderfully high / so perfect. Bathroom decent with Jack and Jill sinks . Shower cubicle is quite small though . Hotel breakfasts are plentiful and very good quality with choice to eat outside if wanted. Reception staff very helpful and polite - hotel has a very relaxed calm feel. Location is fantastic for visiting by foot everything Lecce has to offer . Ate at rooftop restaurant 1 evening which was outstanding . Hotel organised our transfers to and from Brindisi airport which worked fine. Great base for us with our organised trips around Puglia.

We had a suite on the 4th floor. The good stuff: 1. Hotel is in a great location 2. The room was very large and it had a lovely big terrace 3. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean 4. Lovely big comfy bed 5. The valet parking service is very efficient 6. Welcoming staff 7. Water, fruit and sparking wine in the room The stuff that could be better: 1. Very small bathroom considering the size of the room with weirdly a huge 2 person jacuzzi bath in a separate room which I couldn’t work out how to use. Would be better to have a decent size bathroom with an ordinary bath in it 2. Breakfast not included and was overpriced at 25 euros per person to add it on 3. No tea or coffee making facilities 4. There were so many light switches and lots of them didn’t make sense. It took ages to work out which switch turned on each light. Overall I recommend this hotel as a good place to stay.

We loved this hotel in the center of Lecce. Within walking distance to everything locally, and easy to navigate when driving to other towns. The hotel is lovely and the staff was very helpful with restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. Our room was spacious and we enjoyed the private balcony. Highly recommend!

We booked the Risorgimento Resort as we needed to find a hotel in Lecce that could store our bicycles, which limited our options. We chose this hotel also because of its central location and 5* rating. We assumed it would be quite a luxurious property. Whilst it was ok, it wasn’t a 5* hotel despite its 5* price. We booked an executive room for EUR 211 which was quite expensive relative to other similar properties in Lecce. The hotel’s website states that some of the executive rooms have a balcony overlooking the old town or inner courtyard. Ours had neither a balcony nor a view. It looked directly onto a wall. Although spacious with a separate dressing area and large bathroom, the room was dark and slightly dated. As a previous reviewer mentioned, we were pretty sure there were better rooms available in this category but we had been given one of the worst. Given the hotel had few guests staying in this quiet period it gave us he feeling that the staff and management are not particularly customer focussed. The breakfast was very good and included a delicious display of freshly baked Il Pasticciotto… amazing! There were also choices of Pistachio Croissants, Chocolate Croissants or the famous “Empty Croissant” lol. We did receive a bowl of grapes and some mini brownies in the room which we thought were a nice touch however the brownies tasted stale and we noticed that the ‘best by’ date had expired by over a month. Oh well…

Excellent service and hospitality, wonderful breakfast, and our room was perfect! We stayed in the Penthouse Suite and enjoyed the terrace for three evenings with room service. Breakfast was plentiful in a lovely setting. We hope to return!
