B&B Palazzo dei Dondoli is a small, refined guesthouse on Via Alfonso Sozy Carafa in central Lecce. It draws couples and culture-minded travelers who want a quiet courtyard base within walking distance of the city’s Baroque core.
Guests enter through a charming inner courtyard, a classic feature of Lecce’s historic palazzi and a calm retreat after a day on the limestone streets. Rooms are bright and inviting, and some open onto private terraces where you can linger over morning coffee or an evening glass of Salento wine. The property holds a 4.6 guest rating. On Tripadvisor it has 233 traveler reviews, a 4-of-5 score and a ranking of #20 among 451 B&Bs and inns in Lecce (source: Tripadvisor).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book terrace rooms well ahead, since they are limited and popular with couples. July and August bring heat and peak crowds to Salento. April to June and September to October offer milder weather, easier availability and better light on the golden pietra leccese facades.
From the B&B you can explore Piazza Sant’Oronzo and its Roman amphitheatre, the Basilica di Santa Croce and Piazza del Duomo on foot. Lecce’s train station links to Bari and Brindisi, and Brindisi Airport is about 40 minutes away by car or shuttle. Confirm check-in times directly with the hosts, because small B&Bs often require arranged arrivals.
