Had a wonderful stay in a cool, tranquil oasis of a retreat just opposite the old town gates. Nice breakfast. Great location to explore Lecce on foot and enjoy the many sights, restaurants and bars. We also took advantage of the public bus (55 mins) for a great beach day at nearby Otranto. All hotel staff were extremely helpful throughout. Happy to recommend.

The garden area and outside stairs to our room needed sweeping - littered with leaves. Floor in room had nasty stain. Bathroom had a strange smell. Breakfast was poor. Eggs (scrambled or omelette) always running low and tepid. Never enough cheese or salami laid out.

Wir waren rundum glücklich und zufrieden - herzliche und hilsbereite Mitarbeitende, ein wahnsinns Frühstück Lecce Art, in wenigen Minuten in der Altstadt und trotzdem ruhig. Parkplätze sind vor dem Haus an der Strasse vorhanden. Wir hatten ein riesiges Zimmer inkl Balkon, in dem wir uns sehr wohl fühlten.

Customer service good nothing was too much trouble. Parking great, street parking just outside property. Street where property was looked extremely unsafe and dirty full of graffiti and rubbish. Our room was ok, the bathroom however required full overhaul looked and felt very unclean, mouldy in shower, shower basket to put toiletries on full of rust. Shower tray broken and uneven quite mucky. Couldn't wait to leave property.

Quiet Oasis

This charming B & B is located just a few minutes walk outside the old city gates. Comfortable and quiet setting with nicely appointed rooms. Service from Debra, Nikki and Johnny is personal and caring. Breakfast was bountiful and delicious. Complimentary chilled bottles of water are readily available. Easily and safely park on the street in front of the hotel which you cannot do in the central area hotels. We would recommend and stay here again.
