Top Santa Barbara Hotel Reviews

Patria Palace Hotel Lecce - Leading Hotels of the World

8/10 Good

"Lovely small hotel in the middle of town. Having a cars a challenge! Staff helped to make it easy. Very professional staff. Violin in the breakfast restaurant is a nice touch."

Tivoli Palazzo 1880 Lecce Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Tivoli is a Beautiful luxury hotel! We appreciated the upgrade to a suite with a terrace! Beds extremely comfortable with lovely linen. All staff professional, polished, and sincere. Breakfast selections were plentiful and delicious. Location is perfect. Lecce is a wonderful walkable, safe, clean city. Shop Merchants are all pleasant. Will definitely return again."

Dimore di Lecce

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful, bravo, multo bene. Great hosts, incredibly helpful, could not have been more helpful, spotless accommodations, great location—in a quite part of the old town, but right near everything! You can not beat the value if your heading to Lecce!"

Arryvo

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buena ubicación a escasos 3o4 minutos de centro histórico muy cómodo."

Le Dune Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A bit out of the way and surrounding area isnt the nicest but one of the nicest beaches in Italy so far. Hotel is nice, well maintained, great staff. Excellent breakfast, easy parking and the sunsets from the beach bar are outstanding!"

8Piuhotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very modern and conveniently located close to the center. Possible to walk or a very short drive. Rooms are comfortable and breakfast is very good. Free parking and EV charges is a great feature if you are on a self drive through the region"

Palazzo Sant'Anna Lecce

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Palazzo Sant’Anna was made truly special by the extraordinary kindness and hospitality of the entire team. From the moment we arrived, Daunia, Matteo and Alessandro welcomed us with such genuine warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. It was far more than simply a hotel welcome — from the very beginning, we felt sincerely cared for. A very special mention must go to Daunia, the General Manager. She took the time to understand what would make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, and then went far beyond anything we could reasonably have expected to ensure my wife and I had a wonderful experience in Lecce. What impressed us most was not simply what she did, but how she did it — with incredible warmth, generosity and genuine care. It felt personal, and it meant an enormous amount to us. Alessandro and Matteo were also fantastic, always warm, attentive and ready to help, and that wonderful hospitality continued throughout our stay. Palazzo Sant’Anna is beautiful, but what we will remember most are the people. Genuine hospitality comes from the heart, and Daunia and her team have it in abundance. Thank you, Daunia, Alessandro and Matteo. You made our time in Lecce truly special. We would return without hesitation."

Pollicastro Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautiful unique design! We just loved it. Valet parking and many cool sitting areas with so much to look at! Our room was on a level with only stairs but not just any stairs, it’s not much different than walking in the old city, in fact it made it very unique! We’ll be back!"

Victoria Palace Hotel & Zen Wellness

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and were offered use of the pool, changing room and lunch. Our room was ideal, and well fitted (although no kettle, available on request). It was nice and quiet, both by the pool and in the room, and an easy 5 minute walk to the beachfront with cafes, bars and shops. We had a car and parking was easy, so it made this hotel an ideal base to explore the Salento area and Gallipoli. All the staff were friendly, both on the desk and at breakfast which was a buffet style with some hot options. On departure we were again offered an room extension, use of the pool all day and the Spa to freshen up. All in all could not be faulted."
