The rooms are genuinely palatial, decorated with antique but practical furniture to give comfort and elegance. The scale of the windows and ceiling is bigger and more beautiful than photographs show. The location is absolutely central perfect for all of Lecce’s bars, restaurants, shops and churches. Michele has an easy gracious manner putting you immediately at ease and he is attentive and generous with his local knowledge if asked. Lecce has an air of relaxed elegance and Il Banano is just the place to fit the vibe. Loved it.
