Historic Hotel Questionnaire
Year erected: 1700
What is the history of the property?
Masseria Bandino (or BANNINO as reported by ancient maps) was, probably, a grange of the ancient monastery of San Nicola de Casulis as it is testified, still today, by the rural complex of the crypt of San Nicola and by the road connecting the masseria and the monastery.

The history of Bandino is linked to the type of rural habitat of Otranto where, due to the conditions of the territory, exposed to Turkish incursions, the farm and the fortified farm constituted the only productive unit possible.

Its location made it particularly suitable for grazing. The area is, in fact, crossed by a mill run and the farm has four wells that ensure a constant and continuous supply of water. The animals, grazing in the garrigue, produced a delicate milk flavored by local Mediterranean essences. The whole water retention system is still visible, while all the characteristic drinking troughs, the drip trays and the collection ducts have been completely stolen. It has being built on the rocks, it had got a court closed by the main body of the building (vaulted ceilings) and by buildings covered with tiles.

The farm was bought by the De Donno family in the first half of the last century together with the farmhouses "Torre Pinta" and "Le Pezze" located at Badisco.

The ancient farm areas have the characteristic vaulted ceilings. At the center of the ceilings You can find the silos that ensured the constant supply of hay and fodder for animals. The whole place appears as a superposition of buildings of different ages ranging between '600 and' 800.

From the Masseria, You can easily arrive to the ruins of the abbey of San Nicola de Casulis through the medieval dirt road that passes the small pine forest.

Pollicastro Boutique Hotel

Historic Hotel Questionnaire
Year erected: 1508
What is the history of the property?
In the heart of the historic centre of Lecce, Pollicastro Boutique Hotel is a historic residence, located in a 16th-century palace, also known as Palazzo dei Perroni, an appellation given to the entire street spanning from Porta San Biagio to Piazza Sant’Oronzo.

Myths and legends intertwine in the history of this antique location, a fact that is confirmed by the discreet and precious details that can be glimpsed on the facade, among the golden reflections of the “pietra leccese” (the local limestone of Lecce): a small statue of Saint Oronzo, the first bishop of Lecce who lived during the Nero’s persecutions and became the Saint Protector of the city after the plague of 1656. An antique belief, passed down verbally, has it that Pollicastro was built on the ruins of the Saint's house.

At the main entrance, on the Catalan- Durrës portal, adorned with a slightly lowered archway, you can admire a statue of an angel holding a ciambella (ring-shaped bread), peering over you. A 17th-century manuscript reveals that ,in 1219, Saint Francis of Assisi knocked on that portal to beg for food and saw the apparition of a young pageboy with e big white bread in his hands that suddenly disappeared. This episode was considered miraculous and, to commemorate the event, an angel that offers a typical bread of Lecce, known as “puddhricasciu”, had been sculpted on the portal. Hence, comes the name “Isola del Pollicastro” (The island of Pollicastro) which was long attributed to the entire complex of houses standing before the monastery of San Matteo.
Is the property surrounded by other historic buildings?
yes as it is situated in the old town
Has restoration work taken place?
yes
Are there any elements of particular historical importance at the building?
During the restoration, a 19th century altar was discovered in one suite and brought back to life, after breaking down a wall. Today, it adds indisputable sacredness to the room.

In the Grand Deluxe Ninfeo Suite Under the typical 16th century “lunette” ceiling, which creates a magical play of lights and shadows, there is a wide modern bed, seemingly in contrast with the context, that creates a perfect harmony due to its roundness that follows the curves of the room. A large fireplace invites the guests to sink into the antique armchairs and relax.

Going down the staircase, you reach a large bathroom, where a water cascade in an underground cave pool (an old underground cistern) steals the show and promises a unique rejuvenating experience.

Has the property received any certifications for its historical status?
yes by the city hall

Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify?
The hotel is run by the Miglietta family, local entrepreneurs with a passion for interior design and restoration. Each piece of furniture or adornment was conceived, designed and made exclusively, a bit at a time, gathering inspiration by each single corner of the building.
