Very fiddly to get in with lots of instructions that you have to follow (as this was advertised as a hotel I expected a concierge). Unfortunately my room was next to something that buzzed all night which was frustrating. Also did not expect to have to pay for coffee.

Lovely interiors, architecture and great location. My room was a great size and the bed was comfy. It was very clean also.

Very small balcony with no view.

Comfortable room in old building in heart of old town. Good short stay for backpackers.

Everything: the place, the room and the quality price ratio

Stayed in September 2023

Air con was only fan mode (not working properly), balcony of the room dirty so I didn't use and left its door closed. Considering the price paid is ok for couple of nights.

Location in Old town but quiet street, close to train station , clean sheets and towels, good WiFi, good coffee.

No lift, thus difficult for disabled persons. Little interaction with staff.

Great location in the centre of Lecce, thus no need for transport to return home after evening out. Great view from the balcony of historical Lecce. Clean room and bathroom.

The process of entering the residence could be more streamlined from the point of booking. Ie less palaver with codes and such.

It‘s a place I would try first next time

Bathtub is outdated, didn't work properly (defect). The mattress needs replacement, it's very saggy.

Amazing room, very spacious. Host provides lots of clear information on how to enter the building and room. Location is perfect.

No toaster, no water boiler, no coffee maker in the room, in contrast to the description. Mattress was worn down and uncomfortable.

Excellent location. Beautiful room. Good bathroom facilities.

Online check in seems a bit convoluted and didn’t work. But I got a door code from the owner so no big deal. I was a bit concerned about the security as the inner door to the shared space was never locked (although the owners assured me this is not a problem).

Beautiful old building. And great location.

If there is a coffee pot, it could be a nice addition to have coffee powder as well :) Also the host are nice but clearly use google translate for communication so you need to be explicit in your questions. The bed was making a bit of a sound but didn’t bother me.

The room I booked was eventually not available and I got another one which I’m eating here. The room was clean and had everything present. I liked having a balcony overlooking a small garden. It’s easily accessible.

Was expecting a bit more variation for the breakfast

Amazing location! And beautiful rooms

Stayed in June 2023

we were surprised that our room was above quite a loud bar full of students. although we slept well as we had earplugs

Great location in the Lecce’s old town. the room was beautiful, well equipped and had everything we needed for a great stay. the staff were always responsive over message and went above and beyond to help us.

I did put 7 because we had an horrible experience not regarding the stuff. Our personal things were stolen while we were not in the room. I am writing this mainly because I would like to highlight an incredible help of one of the host (Pierro Luigi) which stood with me the whole morning, went with me to the police station, and still trying to figure out what happened. Amazing staff.

Breakfast wasn't much, to be honest. No, it wasn't. Again, just didn't see any staff at any time ( apart from housekeeping ). I guess communication through WhatsApp, or others, is the way ahead.......

Good communication with staff re gaining entry to the property but, apart from the housekeeping staff, didn't see anyone else at any other time, even though there was a kind of reception desk. A lovely, characterful courtyard area once inside the main entrance. Nice room, spacious, comfy bed, good shower ....... The B&B is a two minute walk from a lovely piazza with bars, cafes, ..... and within five minutes of tourist sites. Around a 15 walk to Lecce train station. Fair VFM.

not very clean bathroom, our wardrobe and locker was broken, room had lower standard than common space

spacious design, very nice and well furnished common space, good for work,

Stayed in May 2023

the stay here was great! the place is located in the city centre, so everything is nearby and therefore very comfortable. the main room where the breakfast is, is also comfortable. The breakfast was not fresh every day, but still ok.

Stayed in April 2023

very low bed. only one hard plastic chair in room. surround to wash basin too small to put wash kit

clean and conveniently placed for sight seeing

Stayed in October 2022

Mostly great.The key to the room was very fiddly and hard to lock and unlock.We didn’t have breakfast as we had to leave early.

It’s a former monastery. It’s beautiful and you are conscious of the history without it overwhelming you. One of the most relaxed places to stay I can remember.

Stayed in October 2021

Unfortunately very noisy at night, there is a bar under the windows. Closing windows are not enough to avoid noise. No reception on site - the person is only at certain times, so any problems can not be resolved on time

Very good location, close to the old city center, 15 'from the train station. Nice room, with a clean bathroom. good contact via whatsapp

Stayed in September 2021

The room was great and the place very technological. We never spoke to the staff as all the information was given via email or messages. Great location, perfect to sleep somewhere calm but just around the corner from all the excitement.

Stayed in August 2021

It was a great stay!

I loved the balcony facing the old town and the big entrance, as one of the traditional atrium of the old houses in Puglia. Very nicely furnished and clean, highly recommended for a stay in the heart of Lecce

Absence of staff on the premises. While trying to unsuccessfully enter the property after the online self check in, regardless the one million messages received we didn't manage to open the last entrance door.. We tried to contact the property for at least 1 hour and a half but the phone was off. Luckly enough, while waiting inside the building entrance, the owner walked in, though visibly pissed off by our inability to enter the last door, he eventually let us enter with him. No basic introduction to the place whatsoever, he simply accompanied us to our room without saying a single word about how things worked at the property. After finally getting to our room, for at least one hour we had to bear with him loudly speaking (rather shouting) over the phone with his employees, hearing every single word of his very rude conversation and attitude towards the poor staff. If this is not enough, once over with the phone calls, his cute dog started barking non stop. Breakfast almost non existing, in fact 'prepared' the day before in the early afternoon. Even if the room was very nice, the balcony was extremely dirty and impossible to use. Gigantic ants invasion in the room the morning after, the lack of staff in the premises didn't even allow us to point that out... Also, the so described availability of parking near by the premises and outside the city walls is very misleading: it took us literally almost an hour to find a (paid by the hour) parking spot walking distance to the place.

The location is perfect, right inside the old city walls. The building is stunning and we loved the interior design, nevertheless see below for some issues...

The keys. The keys were a nightmare. My room key had the end broken off and apparent Ly there was no other. 🤔You needed pliers to turn the very tiny key without a handle. Then you had to work out how to manipulate the lock. It was either a ten minute process or if you were lucky a minute. The front door key also was tricky. It brought me almost to tears on night. Breakfast was a joke. It was usually the remains of the day before because who ever had the rooms that opened out onto the breakfast room used it as their party room, wine bottles, dirty plates, shoes……..

I had a balcony, the water worked, toilet flushed, sheets were clean, and once I found the coffee there was coffee. Position was good.
