The Risorgimento Resort, one of the first hotels built in the historical city of Lecce, was inaugurated in 1880. After a restoration and refurbishment, the hotel reopened its doors in October 2007. The architectural design and the modern features of the Risorgimento Resort set it apart as the leader of the town's accommodation. Located in the historical city center, the hotel allows for easy access to the city's haute boutiques and nightlife. The Le Quattro Spezierie gourmet restaurant is a landmark of high-class gastronomy for not only the Risorgimento Resort but for the entire area. The restaurant has a seasonal menu featuring intense aromas and colors and has an extensive wine list that showcases the best of local, interregional and international wine. The "Janet Ross" is an exclusive and elegant lounge bar that proposes itself as a place for cultural meetings, small events, and private encounters. The Risorgimento Resort offers Spa, fitness area and massages. The Salus per Aquam SPA is an oasis of wellness, created so that guests can relax and be pampered with beauty treatments while staying in the heart of the city. The SPA consists of Turkish bath, chromo-aroma therapy showers, an area reserved for beauty and therapeutic and massages and a relaxation area for soothing the body and soul while enjoying herbal tea. There is also a roof garden, Le Quattro Spezierie is a panoramic terrace with views of the city. The surroundings are evocative and soothing; the sophisticated decors enhanced by carefully thought out detailing. In the evening, in spring and summer, the atmosphere transforms Le Quattro Spezierie into an open-air salon that is perfect for sipping a cocktail, listening to good music and admiring the city from above.

Hotel is in a great location to explore Lecce, great restaurants nearby, very walkable to all sites. Our favorite nearby restaurant was called “the Alibi”
Room and bathroom were very large, breakfast that was included with room was delicious.
Roof top bar/restaurant was super nice! The Aperitif for 2 was superb, we got a lot of food for what we paid.
Hotel arranged a beach club visit at Togo Bay with Taxi that I highly recommend to escape the heat of Summer.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was great, lovely big, high ceilings which made the room feel much bigger. The fixtures and fittings have taken a bit of a bashing and are starting to look a bit old and very used but certainly not a reason to avoid. The hotel has a fabulous roof terrace which overlooks the city, but needs to be booked in advance. Valet parking is available which is super helpful particularly when driving in an Italian city 🤣 - this comes at an extra cost but is well worth it. Breakfast was usual continental and was a decent choice but the room where breakfast is held doesn’t seem big enough to fit all the guests and there was often a bit of a wait for a table to become available. Nonetheless, a very pleasant stay and the location is absolutely perfect!

Great base for a visit to Lecce in South Italy. The hotel is right in the centre, near the Roman ruins. It is very well run, staff very helpful and courteous, The rooms are huge! the beds are the Emperor size, one size up from super king. Bathroom are also very spacious.. Very good breakfast. The one slightly disappointing thing was the dinner at the hotel the first night. Not the best food in Italy ! However there is a amazing roof bar. One great advantage is the valet parking, it is impossible to park in Lecce so this is invaluable. The cost is 15 Euro per 24 Hours. We stayed 4 nights in this hotel in Lecce, it's a great base to visit L'Apuglia.

The terrace of the Risorgimento Resort is a secret place in the center of Lecce with a romantic view of the Duomo bell tower. A pleasant and fresh breeze accompanies the evening. The context is elegant and sober, the lighting is careful and prepares well for conversation. The aperitif was very refined, both in presentation and taste. Particular care was shown by the staff in the variations of the cocktails and in the presentation of the dishes. The feeling is that of being in a protected and serene place under the supervision of a manager with a fresh look who is very present but discreet. We then decided to extend the evening with a dinner based on local cured meats and a risotto proposed by the chef. A crescendo of coordinated and not at all banal flavours. We then concluded with a freshly prepared millefeuille with mascarpone cream, crunchy layers and berries. To date, I don't know of a restaurant in the city that offers such attention to both the food and the location. To be recommended to a friend passing through Lecce.

Were on a driving tour of Puglia and were booked here. Just wow!. The valet took our car and we checked in. Couldn't be more welcoming. Every staff member we encountered from the front desk to housekeeping was pleasant and greeted us with a smile.
Our room was large and airy with a nice view outside. All the amenities were there. Breakfast was terrific with many choices from which to pick.
The rooftop bar is a lovely place fro an aperitivo.
The location is perfect, possible to walk everywhere in the city.
If you are looking for a splurge, this is the place.

We booked the Risorgimento Resort as we needed to find a hotel in Lecce that could store our bicycles, which limited our options. We chose this hotel also because of its central location and 5* rating. We assumed it would be quite a luxurious property. Whilst it was ok, it wasn’t a 5* hotel despite its 5* price.
We booked an executive room for EUR 211 which was quite expensive relative to other similar properties in Lecce. The hotel’s website states that some of the executive rooms have a balcony overlooking the old town or inner courtyard. Ours had neither a balcony nor a view. It looked directly onto a wall.
Although spacious with a separate dressing area and large bathroom, the room was dark and slightly dated. As a previous reviewer mentioned, we were pretty sure there were better rooms available in this category but we had been given one of the worst. Given the hotel had few guests staying in this quiet period it gave us he feeling that the staff and management are not particularly customer focussed.
The breakfast was very good and included a delicious display of freshly baked Il Pasticciotto… amazing! There were also choices of Pistachio Croissants, Chocolate Croissants or the famous “Empty Croissant” lol.
We did receive a bowl of grapes and some mini brownies in the room which we thought were a nice touch however the brownies tasted stale and we noticed that the ‘best by’ date had expired by over a month. Oh well…

I arrived in Lecce as part of a travel group, and shortly tested positive for Covid and therefore spent my quarantine in Risorgimento resort instead of seeing the sights.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my enforced stay. What was fortunate for me was room service, and while I didn’t much feel like eating, when I ordered the kitchen was quick to respond. I was there five days until I tested negative and could leave. My room was comfortable and I am grateful for such a pleasant quiet place to stay.
Before the positive test I appreciated the excellent hotel breakfast, as well as one very nice dinner, on the terrace.
It’s a lovely spot and I recommend it…especially if you aren’t quarantined.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a few days during our tour of the Puglia region. While the resort is has a great location near the sites and has good service our room was very strange. The room was quite large especially the closet and bathroom it literally had no view. We opened our blinds and had an internal view of a brick wall. Speaking to others in our group they also had no view. Not sure if other rooms had a view. The heating system was also centralized so we couldn't get the heat down unless we called the front desk and then waited hours. It was so warm one night we couldn't sleep and had to open the windows to get some relief.

I highly recommend Risorgimento Resort for anyone staying in Lecce. It is a perfect location in the heart of old town Lecce, and also an excellent hub from which to explore the surrounding towns and coast as well. Our room and the entire hotel were very clean, comfortable, well maintained, stocked with any amenities we could want or need and the staff was all very friendly and helpful. They were all extremely kind to our 2yr old daughter as well. Their breakfast was complete with extensive options. They have an excellent car valet service that was very convenient. The roof top terrace is also lovely, as I had read from others’ reviews. We loved our stay and highly recommend this resort to others visiting this area of Puglia.

We stayed two nights here. The hotel is very modern with very spacious rooms (the bathroom as well as closet is much larger than most rooms we've stayed in) right in the historic center of Lecce. The breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold items.
