Lecce is a true center piece of Baroque architecture. The Basilica a excellent example of this style. You really need to stand and study the building with your eyes as you would a piece of art.

The interior of this cathedral is plain but given its age, it appears to be in excellent condition and is a good example of a structure of its time. But what really makes this a must see is the museum in the underground area (accessed from the lower level of the cathedral). The cost is only 3 Euros pp which is well worth it to see the ancient structures and mosaics which are presented with excellent lighting and some very interesting modern art.

The Castello is one of the most unique hotels I've ever stayed in. The rooms are stunning and the attention to detail is honestly quite astounding. Our room was modern and sleek yet somehow also felt true to the castle with amazing high ceilings. We also had a dressing room/bathroom that was the perfect size. The restaurant within the hotel is more of an experience than a restaurant, everything we tried was absolutely delicious - the presentation was also delightful - together it made for some extremely memorable meals. The staff are lovely and quick to offer fantastic recommendations and it was very clean. Any covid related doubts were left at the door as they provided multiple hand sanitising points, the staff were masked up and the rooms were cleaned to an extremely high standard. A perfect holiday.
