La Fiermontina - luxury home hotel

We stayed for 6 nights and this is the first 5 star hotel where the hardware and software consistently delivered above and beyond. The property's tranquil aesthetic fits like a glove in the beautiful old town of Lecce without sacrificing function. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and so are the shared spaces.

All the staff were attentive, friendly and made us feel like we are at home. Special mention to Alessandro who remembered the little details every morning and Aldo, who made our evening at the rooftop bar so wonderful (ask him about limoncello!). The food and beverage quality was also very high and I looked forward to returning to our room each day.

Thank you for the wonderful memories. Our entire experience is a testament of the hotel's commitment to top notch hospitality.

Our stay at La Fiermonte was exceptional
The staff …exceptional … a shout out to everyone. From the beautiful heart in my cappuccino to the detailed notes and suggestions from Marta to Sam and team helping with the air conditioning .

I would recommend La Fiermonte to everyone loved room#20 gorgeous

Lecee … La Fiermonte amazing

The whole stay was amazing! Aldo was a particularly great server with his kindness and hospitality. He made us great drinks and recommended great places.

La Fiermontina is absolutely the best. Definitely the nicest and most comfortable place we’ve ever stayed in. We didn’t want to leave. First, Marta and Eleonora - and all the staff - are so genuinely kind and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay relaxing and easy. I will miss them.

The location is perfect - within the historic center and super close to the sites that you’ll want to explore but away enough to be quiet and peaceful.

We stayed at the musuem, just a minute away from the hotel. While there was another family staying there, we felt that we were the only ones there. Our room was on the top floor with our own private huge patio and jacuzzi. The huge room had a big comfortable bed and great shower.

Awesome breakfast that seemed to be just for us - we’re earlier risers. The chef is just the kindest, sweetest person.

Oh and we also had access to the hotel property and their gorgeous pool - and their other hotel property just a bit further away and its gorgeous roof deck for cocktails and skyline view of Lecce.

Marta - can we come back and just live upstairs at the musuem? You won’t even notice us. Give our best to everyone and please thank them for us.

Oh and did I mention this little one (see photo under patio chair) who would often come visit us?

The hotel feels like you’ve been dropped in to a movie set! When the sparrows are flying above chaotically at night it’s a bit Alfred Hitchcock-esq. It’s stunning with understated elegance. The gardens with olive trees and oranges are beautiful and inviting but cozy enough to feel comfortable. The artwork throughout the hotel and at their private museum is so special. And once you hear the story behind it all you will find it all even more captivating. The staff. Couldn’t. Be. Nicer!! Our room was very comfortable and elegant. My ONLY complaint was the lighting in the bathroom was not good. Applying makeup was tough and the safe was a challenge. The photos on the website don’t do this place justice at all. The town of Lecce was quaint. Food was good. Hotel helped us with a driver and tour guide for the day and another day at Mora Mora beach club. Also great experiences. Highly recommend!

When you stay here, you are surrounded by art, and not just when you go on the tour of their private museum. The on-site restaurant, Zephyr, is excellent, and very good value for the quality. But, the best thing about La Fiermontina is the staff -- in the restaurant, definitely, but at the front desk -- Marta and Maria, especially, are the best -- your happiness is their only goal. You hesitate to ask directions b/c they will take you, or track you down if you get lost -- seriously. They are unbelievalbe.

We stayed here for 2 nights and it is definitely the best and our favourite hotel.The service from start to finish was impeccable the owner Antonia personally greets you and Valario was super helpful too.The Hotel is spectacular,the art work is stunning and we stayed in a Duplex Suite and absolutely loved it.Everything is so modern and new.The breakfast is delicious too.The pool and setting is so peaceful.Our only complaint was having to leave this beautiful serene hotel.

The hotel room and service rates well above 5 stars. The large suite of rooms is very modern but in an ancient building so you have wonderful ambience with vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls but lots of windows. There is great attention to detail and it is very quiet, in a garden setting surrounded by art. The staff were attentive and helpful and the breakfast was superb. You can tell that the staff feel loyal to the owners and eager to make their guests comfortable. The hotel is easy to find if you follow the staff directions- but you need to let them know if you are driving in so they can help register your car to avoid a fine for crossing into a restricted area. Location allows you to walk to everything in the old town but it is easy to drive out of the city if you want to visit some surrounding places. I recommend making this your base to explore all of Puglia- you will be thrilled to return every night to this beautiful sanctuary. We have stayed in very fine 5 star plus hotels around the world and this rates as one of the very best experiences.

La Fiormentina is exceptional. We had such an amazing stay and can’t wait to visit again! The architecture and design is absolutely stunning, the property offers a luxurious yet warm and homey vibe. The area is safe and a short walk to the heart of old town. The people, amazing! Thank you to the friendly, welcoming, and super helpful team that went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. We can’t thank you enough for making our Lecce experience an incredible vacation that we will never forget.

La Fiermontina is heads and shoulders above all other high-end hotels for the exceptional staff…every single one of the staff is so attentive, yet professional as if they were the sons/daughters of the owner. The staying experience truly reflects the fact the hotel was created out of passion for hospitality rather than as a business.
