Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Residenza Case Arse, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (4th-5th) for a quieter stay. The hotel has a lift, but it's a relatively old building, so the higher floors are likely to have creaky floorboards and less noise from the lobby.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (ground floor) and rooms facing Via Umberto I, as this street can be noisy due to its central location and proximity to shops and restaurants.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address doesn't provide information on the hotel's orientation or view options.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their distance from the ground floor and lift.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location in the city center means that some noise from the street and nearby establishments can be expected. However, the hotel's age and relatively low floor count (5 floors) suggest that noise levels are likely to be manageable.
Insider tips
Be aware that the hotel's parking is likely limited and may require reservation in advance, so plan ahead. Request a room with a balcony for a bit more space and a view of the surrounding area, but be prepared for potential noise from the street.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Prisma Hotel (Piazza del Duomo stop) → Lecce City Centre (any point)
💡 The Prisma Hotel is a 5-min walk from the historic centre, so you won't need city buses much. Use them only for reaching the train station or Tesoriera area. Buy a 10-ride card at a tabacchi.
B&B Antica Corte (Via Nazionale, stop 'Lecce 14') → Lecce city centre (Piazza Sant'Oronzo)
💡 Buy a 10-ride card (€10) at any tabacchi for cheaper hops to the centre. The B&B is a 10-minute walk to Piazza Sant'Oronzo anyway—I'd leg it unless you're loaded with shopping bags.
Lecce Train Station → Prisma Hotel (via city bus or short walk)
💡 From Brindisi Airport, take the shuttle bus to Brindisi train station (€2, 20 mins), then a regional train to Lecce (€7.50, 30 mins). Cheapest door-to-door for solo travellers.
Brindisi Airport (BDS) → Lecce Bus Station (near Porta Napoli, 15 min walk to B&B)
💡 Buy tickets at the airport newsstand or online—drivers don't sell them. The bus drops you at Via V. E. Orlando; walk east through Porta Napoli to reach the B&B.
Brindisi Centrale (connect from airport via shuttle bus) → Lecce Centrale (10 min walk to B&B via Via Palmieri)
💡 Take the airport shuttle (€2, every 30 mins) from Brindisi Airport to the train station. For B&B Antica Corte, exit Lecce station and walk straight up Via Palmieri—it's a flat 10-minute walk.

Top Attractions in Lecce
💡 Walk to the far end of the piazza near the Roman column for the best overhead view. If you want to go down, the small entry fee is €3 — worth it for the close-up of the stone seats.
💡 Entry is free from the street level—don't pay for the underground tour unless you're a Roman history buff. Come at sunset when the stone glows warm.
💡 Walk west along the walls for 200 metres to a small park with benches – good picnic spot with a view over the olive groves.
💡 Visit late afternoon when the sun hits the facade — the stone carvings of animals and saints pop. Skip the paid museum inside unless you're a dedicated art historian.
💡 Step inside during weekday mornings — it's often empty. The 18th-century altar is a stunner and gets overlooked by tourists rushing to the bigger churches.
💡 Come in the early morning before 9am—nobody else is around. The cathedral's interior is free to enter, and the bell tower climb costs €5 but gives panoramic views.
💡 Visit late afternoon, around 4–5pm, for the best light on the stone carvings without the morning tour crowds.
💡 Come at dusk when the cathedral lights up and the crowds thin. The cathedral itself is free to enter, but check mass times for access to the side chapels.
