We stayed in the Patria Palace for 3 nights on a recent trip to Puglia. Calling it a palace is a big stretch. The only thing royal about the place is the staff who think that they are the royalty having to deal with unwanted guests in their palace.
Our room overlooked a wall and was over the kitchen, so the smell of grease prevented us from even being able to open the window. The bathroom was poorly supplied and the water in the shower would turn scolding hot and burn you at least twice during the shower. The overall decor could be described as a 3 star hotel trying to look fancy, but coming off as tacky.
The staff were very unhelpful, and some, just plain rude. When I asked for some restaurant recommendations, the only advice they gave was "Our hotel has the best restaurant in Lecce". Period.
The only highlight was the free breakfast...it was delicious. Other than that, stay at a bed and breakfast for a more authentic experience at half the cost.
