Arcadia: a name, an ideal

Towards the middle of the eighteenth century a literary movement sang Arcadia, describing an ideal world that sought happiness through the search for beauty. We wanted to create a small temple dedicated to beauty in the historic center of Lecce: Arcadia Luxury Suites welcomes you!

The Arcadia movement inspired the poetic pieces of Isabella Castriota Scandemberg, one of the first Italian poets, to whom the street where Arcadia Luxury Suites is located is dedicated. The latter expresses the choices that inspired Arcadia Luxury Suites. Arcadia is an ideal site of contact with what is beautiful and as detachment from the conditioning of modern lifestyle.
Arcadia and its suites in the historic center of Lecce, in a historic dwelling, bound by Decree of the Ministry of Culture, are the perfect connection with an idea of holiday totally dedicated to peace and relaxation.
Arcadia, as a discovery of a city and its historic center, where time seems to have stopped and, carved in Lecce’s stone, testifies to the love of its citizens for a lifestyle respectful of the environment and in contact with nature.
This is the mission of Arcadia Luxury Suites, to make known to the world a way of life now forgotten, in which it is still possible to appreciate beauty and protect its preservation, to ensure the enjoyment by those who feel they share this ideal of life.

The location of Arcadia Luxury Suites in the heart of Lecce allows its guests to visit the traces of Roman antiquity, but also to discover baroque architecture, in its churches and noble palaces, that has shaped the city to recall the mastery of Salento’s architects and stonemasons.
But Arcadia also stands for tourism and knowledge of Salento, its sea and its cultural traditions. A visit to the two seas of Salento, the surrounding villages, festivals and wine cellars will allow you to appreciate a lifestyle of which the people of Salento are proud of and that will be manifested in the smile and hospitality of every person you will meet.
Salento’s care for culture can also be seen in the many museums, libraries and exhibitions in and around Lecce, which testify to the fusion of Greek and Roman culture at the basis of our civilization and its traditions.
