6 best eco-friendly hotels in Lecce

Eco-friendly hotels in Lecce suit travellers who want an easy base in the city’s walkable historic core, where the baroque centre can be explored on foot from key landmarks such as Piazza del Duomo and the Basilica di Santa Croce, and through atmospheric streets that open near Porta Rudiae. For a greener rhythm between sightseeing, staying close to the Giardini Pubblici Giuseppe Garibaldi (Villa Comunale) places you near an urban oasis just beyond the densest centre.

Look for hotels that genuinely reduce impact rather than only “feel natural”: energy-conscious design, reduced single-use plastics, efficient hot-water systems, and local sourcing (especially for breakfast and restaurants). In practice, these are the kind of properties that work best for couples, culture-focused visitors, and families who prefer quiet comfort without relying on frequent car trips.

Within Lecce, you’ll find options across styles and budgets, from B and B Palazzo Bernardini (2★) for a low-key, classic stay to Masseria Francescani (4★) for a more refined, nature-oriented experience. For something in between, Dimora Le Tre Muse Guesthouse (3★) and Dimora San Giuseppe (3★) align well with travellers seeking characterful, sustainability-minded hospitality in a prime location.
