An history of hospitality spanning over three centuries. Patria Palace’s vocation has always been to offer its Guests moments to treasure and memorable experiences.
The elegant and proud image of the Patria Palace was born in the eighteenth century, when the marquises D’Anna-Petrarolo chose the center of Lecce and the style of Mauro Manieri, to build their noble residence.
Patria Palace noble origins
The elegant and proud image of the Patria Palace was born in the eighteenth century, when the marquises D’Anna-Petrarolo chose the center of Lecce and the style of Mauro Manieri, one of the architects who contributed to some of the most beautiful Baroque works in Puglia, to build their noble residence.
The soul destined to hospitality
Over the centuries the palace has experienced all different souls of hospitality. From a sumptuous noble residence, it was turned in a loving home for little orphans, until 1850 when, under the ownership of engineer Giacomo Gridi's family, it became the first Locanda (inn) for travelers called Locanda “Patria”, which means “homeland”, during the Risorgimento’s period patriotic atmosphere.
Patria Palace today preserves all this, the richness of Baroque, the refinement of the noble residence, the spirit of hospitality of the innkeepers, the ability to renew the Italian style and the desire of discovery of all travelers with whom it shares moments to treasure in Lecce.
Heritage and design together again
A sumptuous but always respectful restyling has brought new light to the Palace, an exceptional and unique trademark of luxury hospitality in Lecce. Every choice has been made in order to preserve and magnify the heritage of the building: classic and modern together again in a contamination of styles, from Baroque to Art Decò to the contemporary art of artisans and Made in Italy icons of design.
