Palazzo BN, a former bank in southern Italy, is exactly where you should deposit your savings… in exchange for aperitivo hours on the roof, apartment-style suites to (temporarily) call your own and stylish takes on street food. The food court may feel international, but its produce is proudly Italian – and there’s a handy boutique for stockpiling goods for your suitcase. The Thirties building is perfectly placed between Lecce’s newer shopping streets and the baroque beauty’s historic heart, which stars castles, cathedrals, amphitheatres and basilicas. The coast is half an hour away, as is the mediaeval town of Otranto and Gallipoli’s fish market, where you can try Salento’s prize sea urchins.
