Azzurretta B&B

Lecce


Tullio runs this arty B&B located in a historic palazzo. Of the four rooms, ask for the large double with a balcony, wooden floors and vaulted ceiling. Massage is available in your room or on the roof terrace – also a splendid place to take a sundowner. You get a cafe voucher for breakfast.

There is also a tiny studio flat, which is a little dark but a good option if you're self-catering on a budget.
