Sitting within the ancient city walls and just a pleasant ten minute stroll from the middle of Lecce in a quiet area of the city, La Fiermontina offers a modern, artistic take on a beautifully restored masseria (farmhouse). This wonderful boutique property offers just 18 rooms and suites but has plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. The hotel’s owner renovated the 17thcentury building that houses the accommodation in homage to his grandmother who was an influential part of Paris’ art scene in the 1930s. Today the Fiermonte family’s private art collection is displayed throughout the property, complementing the clean lines, and carefully selected antique furniture in both the rooms and public spaces. La Fiermontina Lecce, Puglia Palazzo Daniele is a nine-suite luxury hotel housed in a 159-year-old family palazzo, recently re-envisioned by new hotel brand, GS Collection. Formerly the home of art philanthropist Francesco Petrucci and inspired by the concept of absence, the hotel’s minimalist design strips back on the interiors, while augmenting the grandeur of the palazzo’s original frescoes and mosaic flooring, to create a dramatic canvas for the property’s contemporary art collection. Couples with a fervent love of interior design will revel in the magic that is Palazzo Daniele. This venue is perfect for romantics who want that luxurious, Italian feel that’s deeply entrenched in art, culture and history. Palazzo Daniele Gagliano del Capo, Puglia inspired urban Conversions If townhouses are your thing then you will be equally impressed by the ingenuity and flair that so often epitomises Italian style sense. 40
