Sitting within the ancient city walls and just a pleasant ten minute stroll from the middle of Lecce in a quiet area of the city, La Fiermontina offers a modern, artistic take on a beautifully restored masseria (farmhouse). This wonderful boutique property offers just 18 rooms and suites but has plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. The hotel’s owner renovated the 17th-century building that houses the accommodation in homage to his grandmother who was an influential part of Paris’ art scene in the 1930s. Today the Fiermonte family’s private art collection is displayed throughout the property, complementing the clean lines, and carefully selected antique furniture in both the rooms and public spaces.
