This charming 18th-century palace in the heart of Lecce's historic center, is steeped in history, modern design and contemporary art by many artists such as Zowboda and Le Corbusier. The hotel reflects both Lecce's architectural history and the Fiermonte family's extensive connections to the art world. This gem was dedicated to Enzo Fiermonte, a professional boxer, actor and uncle of the current owners, whose story lives on in the hotel's ten elegant suites.
The hotel is open from March to October.
10 suites.
You can check in from 3:30 pm. Check-out is before noon.
Starting at 350 euros.
The hotel, dedicated to boxer and actor Enzo Fiermonte, is richly filled with ornate furniture, works of art, sculptures and world-class watercolors, including pieces by Sottsass, Gio Ponti, Mackintosh, René Letourneur, Fernand Léger and John Lennon.
Each of the ten suites at La Fiermontina Palazzo Bozzi Corso is dedicated to a chapter in the family's history. Each has its own unmistakable style with custom-made furniture, artwork and iconic pieces. Some suites have a sauna and an experience shower while others have private terraces, some with mosaic floors overlooking the secret garden, and others with direct access to the rooftop overlooking the city.
The Suite Deluxe is our favorite because of its 67-square-meter area, two aristocratic-style bedrooms and private balcony.
On the rooftop terrace you'll find a small splash pool and lounge chairs with stunning views of the city. At the sister hotel La Fiermontina Luxury Home, which is a few minutes' walk away, you will have free use of the garden and swimming pool in the middle of the city.
Unwind and enjoy a yoga or meditation session, opt for a massage treatment or body treatment of your choice. Ask the experts about an Ayurvedic, Maori, Thai or California massage. Discover how to make homemade pasta during a cooking class. Also visit the museum in the 17th-century Episcopal Palace. Are you interested in the stories of the Fiermonte family? Then book their art tour at the hotel.

Every table on the rooftop terrace has a beautiful view of the historic city.
In the morning you will enjoy a delicious breakfast. In the evening, head to the restaurant at their sister hotel LF Luxury Home, Zéphyr. The dishes have authentic Apulian flavors mixed with French, Moroccan and Oriental influences. The restaurant is nestled in an old olive grove with only a few tables, atmospheric lighting and is surrounded by the 16th-century city walls. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.
