Neighbourhood
A stone's throw from the heart of Lecce's Baroque architecture
Sami is located just steps from Lecce's historic center. From the front door, you can admire the cathedral bell tower that stands in the heart of the old town, just a few minutes' walk away through the charming streets of the center. Sami is just 200 meters from Porta Rudiae and Porta Napoli, where the city's defensive walls once stood. Some of these still exist and can be visited. These gates are the gateway to the oldest part of Lecce, where you can admire the many Baroque and Roman-style churches and monuments, as well as the small shops and artisan workshops.
And at the center of city life
But it's also the heart of the city's nightlife, with its many clubs, pubs, and restaurants. Outside the restricted traffic zones, Sami is located in a neighborhood accessible by car and where free street parking is easy to find, in a quiet, well-served area.
Just a short distance from several university buildings, the train station, and major roads, Sami is the perfect place to begin a tour of Lecce, a living museum of local traditions and history. It's the perfect starting point for a holiday filled with authentic experiences, discovering Salento's treasures, such as history, art, and the sea.
