CDSHotels Grand Hotel Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic staff, great breakfast and great location!"

8Piuhotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in Lecce. The hotel is very modern and clean. The reception staff is excellent and they speak perfect English. The room was spacious and very functional. The breakfast was very good and the staff serving the coffees and teas were very efficient. Most importantly, there is plenty of parking on the property and there is no charge for it. This hotel is easy to find getting in to Lecce and easy to depart from the city. Although this hotel is not too far from the historic section of Lecce, I would still recommend driving to the “Parchejoo” (parking lot close to the castle) which is underground and huge. Lecce is a beautiful city with lots of interesting places to visit and to stroll around. This hotel made our stay there very pleasant. Highly recommend it, and I am an expert world traveler for over 40 years."

Mercure Hotel President Lecce

10/10 Excellent

"perfect location, walking distance to everything one block from the most delicious gelatery , the front desk people and some waiters speak english which is almost impossible to find in Lecce, they all are so nice and helpful it made our 2 weeks stay so pleasant i recommend this hotel 100% we felt at home"

Hilton Garden Inn Lecce

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was extremely dog friendly, which was a relief for me. When you’re traveling with your service pet and you’re constantly being questioned overseas if it’s actually a service pet or if you have a lap dog it becomes anxious making all the time. So, when I walk into a beautiful hotel that welcomes you with a smile and welcomed your pet with a smile it’s such a relief!!! Thank you for the wonderful stay."

Masseria & Spa Luciagiovanni

8/10 Good

"Arrival through beautiful tall wood doors, but have to swing wide to get round them in the car - you can’t see what’s coming until you commit to the turn. Drive lined with lovely terracotta pot lamps which were lit at night, signpost directing you to reception isn’t lit - would be helpful if you arrived at night. Warm welcome by receptionist who also showed us round and to our room. Had booked a mezzanine room which was lovely. Bathroom was on the ground floor, the stairs were quite steep, and hubby’s arthritis was playing up. Also difficult if you need the bathroom during the night as room became very dark. Hubby ended up sleeping in the lounge area for safety for the first night. Spoke to Francesco in reception the next morning and he kindly sourced us a fully ground floor room “we want to keep our guests happy!” The rooms are decorated in keeping with the Moroccan style, but are tired and in need of renovation, particularly the terracotta floor tiles which are badly damaged and gouged and are an accident waiting to happen - also in reception area. Wardrobe was dusty. Pool is large and spacious, surrounded by palms, cleaned each day. Site is open to day guests and it was very hot so can become crowded. Luckily we had sussed out the better sunbed re shade and got there early; beds got, no seating position. Pool towels provided. Pool bar nice. Had lunch in restaurant - nice choice. WiFi poor connectivity. Good location though."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Barbara?

The best area to stay in Santa Barbara is the historic centre, particularly around the Piazza del Popolo.

This area is the heart of Santa Barbara, known for its well-preserved architecture and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You'll find a good selection of top hotels, from boutique hotels to charming guesthouses, all within easy walking distance of the main sights. The Piazza del Popolo itself is a lovely spot to enjoy an evening passeggiata (stroll) and people-watch.

Couples often find this area ideal for a romantic getaway. The narrow, winding streets are superb for exploring hand-in-hand, discovering hidden courtyards and local artisan shops. Many restaurants here offer intimate dining experiences with regional Puglian cuisine.

For travellers looking for a blend of convenience and local flavour, staying near the Piazza del Popolo is perfect.

When is the best time to go to Santa Barbara?

The best time to visit Santa Barbara, Puglia, Italy, is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, without the intense heat of mid-summer. This makes it ideal for exploring the town's historic centre, strolling along the promenade, or enjoying the local beaches without large crowds. The sea is also warm enough for swimming from late May through October.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find these months particularly appealing. The fewer crowds mean a more relaxed experience at local restaurants and vineyards, and the mild weather is great for leisurely walks and exploring the scenic coastline. You'll also find it easier to book quality accommodation and experiences.

For travellers planning a family holiday, late spring and early autumn offer a comfortable climate for children to enjoy outdoor activities and the beach.
