Two ways to feel at home in Salento
HABITARE Lecce & Salento
Boutique B&B a short walk from the historic centre
Five rooms, five ways to tell the story of Salento: stone, sea, earth and olive trees inspire the interiors of HABITARE Lecce & Salento, each with its own personality. Lecce’s historic centre is just a few minutes’ walk away.
Monica and Salvio are here to welcome you. Each morning, the artisanal SETTATE GUSTAME breakfast, included in your stay, brings the region to your table through sweet and savoury dishes, local ingredients and homemade preparations. A moment to savour at your own pace before setting off to discover Lecce and Salento.
HABITARE Àstricu
Private holiday home
A late 19th-century Salento home for two to four guests, where original patterned cement tiles, reclaimed furnishings and natural materials preserve the memory of the place. A short walk from Porta Napoli, Àstricu invites you to feel part of the city and discover its everyday rhythm.
Stepping out for bread, choosing ingredients at the market, cooking something delicious and coming home after a day exploring Salento’s villages and landscapes: here, your stay unfolds through small rituals, with the freedom of an equipped kitchen and the convenience of an included private garage.
Monica and Salvio are here to welcome you, with suggestions to help you discover the region and give it the time it deserves. Breakfast is not included.
The rooms at HABITARE Lecce & Salento
Lecce stone, the sea, olive trees, red earth and dry-stone walls inspire our five rooms: PETRA, NAVITA, OLIVUM, RUBRUM and ALETIUM. Colours, materials and details give each its own character, with the same thoughtful hospitality throughout.
Explore the photographs and features of each room, from our cosier options to those with a private balcony, and choose the setting that best suits your stay. The artisanal SETTATE GUSTAME breakfast is included.
Àstricu
Light falling across patterned cement tiles, the weave of pure linen, the wood of reclaimed furnishings: at Àstricu, the details tell the story of a late 19th-century Salento home and the care with which it is lived in.
A short walk from Porta Napoli, you can begin your day among local shops and markets, explore Salento’s villages and landscapes, and return to a space entirely your own. A home for taking your time, getting to know the places around you and letting them become part of your journey.

Salento to experience. Memories to take home.
With HABITARE Experiences, homes with soul, a personal welcome and encounters with the region become part of your memories.
A holiday that becomes a personal memory
Some places stay with you because of what you saw. Others because of how they made you feel.
HABITARE Experiences was born from this idea: sharing our Salento through homes with soul, thoughtfully chosen details and encounters that give meaning to a journey.
A conversation that leads you somewhere unexpected, the flavour of a recipe, the pleasure of feeling welcome: these are the moments we hope you will take home.

Care is in the little things
Less waste, a new life for objects, a connection to our region.
At HABITARE Lecce & Salento, we choose glass water bottles and food storage containers, serve breakfast on handcrafted ceramics from Grottaglie, and give reclaimed furniture and objects a new life.
You can play a part at breakfast, too: ask us for smaller portions to suit your appetite. Whenever possible, we donate surplus food to Caritas. Small gestures that are part of the way we welcome you.
