★★ Apollo Suites [€€]

A quartet of spacious, modern, surprisingly moderately-priced luxury suites in an elegant, converted old theater right next to the mossy stone walls of Lecce's 16th century castle, two blocks from both the main square and the Giardini Pubblici park.
Piazza Libertini 11. tel. +39-0832-309-494. www.apollosuites.it

★★ Risorgimento Resort [€€]
It's a bit pricey, but by far Lecce's best bet—it simply couldn't be more central, half a block behind the main piazza and just a few minutes’ walk from any of the city's baroque facades. The 57 rooms are sizable, with patterned tile floors, fabric-covered walls, and antique-styled furnishings. As a bonus, the hotel restaurant offers set-price Pugliese meals.

Cappello [€]
The streets are quiet, but since the hotel abuts the train tracks, periodic noise is a problem, especially for rooms on the back. However, it's by far the best bargain in town. Rooms up on the first floor are the more attractive, although all are done in mismatched functional pieces with squishy beds. All 32 accommodations are pretty small, but there's a comfy air about them, and the high vaulted ceilings help as does the full array of in-room amenities.
Via Montegrappa 4. tel. 0832-308-881, www.hotelcappello.it. Leave the train station, turn left down Via Don Bosco, then left again onto Via Montegrappa.

If there is no room to be had at the hotels above, I quite like the very central and low-key ★ B&B Centro Storico [€€] (Via Andrea Vignes 2b, tel. +39-0832-242727, www.centrostoricolecce.it, » book).

Or try the aging Liberty-style rooms at the Grand Hotel [€€] a block down from the train station at Viale O. Quarta 28 (tel. +39-0832-309-405; » book).
