The Experience

You’re in the historic centre of the town and the doors and walls of the houses are decorated with carefully painted and embellished poetry – a fabulous arrival.  All the bedrooms are different, quiet and private, but in each there is style and the ancient Lecce stone barrel vaults blend cleverly with modern furniture. A separate swish apartment in the loft is fully geared up for self-catering with its own kitchen and shares the garden and pool.

The breakfast room is a grand place to roost with comfortable sofa and chairs and a large antique fireplace for chilly days. Spend sunny days in the garden, cool off in the pool surrounded by flowers and herbs, nip up to the roof terrace in spring and summer for an aperitif at sunset.

Wind down in the garden afterwards or wander into the main square for an authentic Italian experience; this is an artistic town.

Reviews

The Art of Leo is a very cosy place where you can enjoy the beauty of southern Italy in relaxation. A location with attention to detail where the owner will make you feel at home. This place will give you magical moments by the pool, under the gazebo in the garden during summer days or in front of the large fireplace on rainy days.

We enjoyed our stay with the wonderful host Leonardo. A warm welcome at check-in. The interior is a combination of authentic and art with a modern touch, which fits the building very well. Enjoyed the nice details. Beautiful rooms, nice bed and a super bathroom! Ideally located for exploring the beautiful towns and beaches of Salento. I found the peace, luxury and hospitality very pleasant

Introducing

Leonardo Orlando

Twinkly Leonardo has Apulian origins but was brought up in Belgium. After working around the world in the restaurant business he came home to breathe new life into this lovely old building. He is very hands on in running the B&B, cooks the breakfasts and can help with any questions you may have. He is a consummate host.
