Our stay in Lecce, the beautiful pearl of Puglia, was excellent, in no small way because of our lovely hotel, Torre del Parco.
It is right on the edge of the Centro Storico, which meant it was easy to find and parking was a breeze. This was our first view of Torre del Parco…the tower.
It has a long history. It was built in 1419 by 18 year old Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo, Prince of Taranto, son of Raimondello and Maria d’Enghiem, who was countess of Lecce and later Queen of the Kingdom of Naples after a second marriage.
The entrance is very inviting.
The foyer…
…the sitting room.
The beautiful indoor garden area.
Our room…with walk in wardrobe.
The tower was beside our room.
It looked fabulous at night.
The breakfast room was great…I could easily move in forever.
The hotel is popular for events. There were 3 while we were there, including a colourful first communion.
If you go to Lecce stay at Torre del Parco…you won’t be disappointed.
