What is the history of the property?
In the heart of the historic centre of Lecce, Pollicastro Boutique Hotel is a historic residence, located in a 16th-century palace, also known as Palazzo dei Perroni, an appellation given to the entire street spanning from Porta San Biagio to Piazza Sant’Oronzo.
Myths and legends intertwine in the history of this antique location, a fact that is confirmed by the discreet and precious details that can be glimpsed on the facade, among the golden reflections of the “pietra leccese” (the local limestone of Lecce): a small statue of Saint Oronzo, the first bishop of Lecce who lived during the Nero’s persecutions and became the Saint Protector of the city after the plague of 1656. An antique belief, passed down verbally, has it that Pollicastro was built on the ruins of the Saint's house.
At the main entrance, on the Catalan- Durrës portal, adorned with a slightly lowered archway, you can admire a statue of an angel holding a ciambella (ring-shaped bread), peering over you. A 17th-century manuscript reveals that ,in 1219, Saint Francis of Assisi knocked on that portal to beg for food and saw the apparition of a young pageboy with e big white bread in his hands that suddenly disappeared. This episode was considered miraculous and, to commemorate the event, an angel that offers a typical bread of Lecce, known as “puddhricasciu”, had been sculpted on the portal. Hence, comes the name “Isola del Pollicastro” (The island of Pollicastro) which was long attributed to the entire complex of houses standing before the monastery of San Matteo.

Information provided by the hotelPollicastro boutique hotel is a romantic 4* Boutique Hotel, located in the historic town of Lecce, well known for its Baroque style. It is only a few kilometers away from the most significant landmarks of Salento as well as many beautiful beaches and 30 minutes drive from the International airport of Brindisi.
The hotel is run by the Miglietta family, local entrepreneurs with a passion for interior design and restoration. Pollicastro Boutique Hotel’s big opening is scheduled for the next spring. It is a historic residence, located in a 16th-century palace, also known as Palazzo dei Perroni, opposite to the San Matteo's Church, one of the most significant for its Baroque style.

The decision to create a Boutique Hotel was dictated by the building itself. Its uniqueness lies in the surprising diversity of the various halls, which almost implied to follow the historic layout of the structure, with the result that every space offers completely different sensations to the guests. Each piece of furniture or adornment was conceived, designed and made exclusively, a bit at a time, gathering inspiration by each single corner of the building. You can find 12 rooms with a unique style, including one suite with a private underground cave pool. The rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kettle, coffee machine and a private bathroom with shower or marble bathtub, according to the room type.
With extreme joy and passion we seek to grant your desires and offer you an unforgettable stay with a private parking with valet service, an American bar, a wine shop, a lounge area and a reading room equipped with tablets.
On the top of the building, there is a large roof garden, with an articulated series of green and intimate corners, where you can enjoy the morning sun and the evening freshness, with the swallows flying around the terraces. It overlooks the city centre of Lecce and San Matteo’s church.
Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Piazza Mazzini, Lecce Cathedral, the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Roman Amphitheater very close to Saint’ Oronzo Square.
