Located on the first floor of Palazzo Sant’Anna, the Deluxe Room La Balconata is a refined expression of the passage of time, where 17th-century stone has been brought back to life through a careful restoration that preserves its original beauty. The most intimate of the palace’s rooms, it reveals itself as a small jewel carved in pale stone and enriched by antique cement tiles, characteristic of noble Southern Italian residences until the early 20th century. Quiet and secluded, set in the heart of the residence, this room is designed for those who appreciate life’s essential pleasures: slow time, self-care, deep rest and mindful presence, in an atmosphere that invites relaxation and introspection.
The highlight of the room is its historic balcony overlooking Vico del Pitaccio, where the rhythm of local life can still be felt. Once a place of encounters and shared stories—where women would lean out to talk—it is now a charming vantage point that captures the authentic spirit and everyday beauty of Lecce.
