The reception area is located on the 1st floor of an elegant building built for its owner, the lawyer Luigi De Giorgi, to a plan that was approved in May 1879 and so is an example of typical Lecce architecture of the second half of the Eighteenth Century. The building, which is just inside the old town, doesn't suffer from that closed-in feeling of narrow little streets that often surround and almost stifle many other beautiful aristocratic buildings in the centre; quite the contrary, it enjoys wide views, almost an independent structure jutting out into a single large square. Looking out onto a stretch of the old city walls of Lecce, the palace is well-situated for many important places in the city: at easy-walking distance, there are the train station, the Office of the Chancellor of the University, the Provincial Museum, the Chamber of Commerce , the Cathedral Square and other places of artistic, cultural and economic interest. So the B&B Palazzo De Giorgi is an ideal place to stay for tourists, as well as scholars and businessmen; not just for its incomparable location, but also, and perhaps more importantly, for the refined welcome with which Daniel, descendant of the original owner on her mother's side, receives and takes care of her guests, ever-friendly and at their service.
