L'Orangerie is a delightful B&B run by its owner, Luisa, who has paid attention to every detail. It's a property dating back to 1871, with an orange grove and imperial staircase, where space is at a premium. Entering the B&B is like stepping from the modern world into an almost dreamlike one. My room was huge, with everything you need to have a good time. Breakfast is prepared on a table inside the room, with toast, homemade orange marmalade, and delicious local pastries. There are also yogurts and juices in the refrigerator. In my case, I parked my car on the property, subject to reservation. Any communication with Luisa must be done via WhatsApp, but it wasn't necessary in my case. I recommend this B&B if you're not the type who needs constant attention and consultations about everything. It's for independent travelers who prioritize silence, well-being, and a good location.

This property was superb in every way. The large bedroom/ sitting area, the well stocked kitchen. The complete cooking facilities, the wonderful large garden and places to sit in comfort. It was a peaceful, quiet sanctuary in the heart of the old city of Lecce and for an incredibly reasonable tariff. Impossible to give enough praise. The hosts were very helpful and serviced the rooms every day.

Great place to stay. Close to lecce historical and commercial centre. The owners are very helpful and allowed us to check in early. The garden is beautiful and a great place to relax. Although it's on a main road the rooms are at the back facing the garden so it's very quiet

Great location close to lecce old town. Place was very clean and quiet with access to a large walled garden. Luisa the owner was really helpful and easy to deal. Would definitely recommend if you like old world charm. If you're looking for modern it's definitely not the place for you

Perfect accommodation, good location.

We really enjoyed our three nights here. the building is beatutiful and the garden a peaceful place to relax. Room was huge and historic with everything we needed and a particularly comfortable bed. Location is good around 15 minutes walk from the station and close to all of our favourite restaurants. If you are feeling lazy the one over there road "203" is good and had an interesting menu. Overall as perfect a B&B experience as anyone could hope for.

We LOVED L’Orangerie de L’Epoque. It is beautiful. A real Palazzo. The high-ceiling rooms are full of elegant details: embroidered ultra-white towels and linens, amazing sunny views from the BEAUTIFUL inner courtyard a super yummy breakfast. But perhaps the best part is the warmth and friendliness of the owners & managers. Just one-of-a-kind accommodation that makes you feel both like a royal and a welcome family member.

On our trip to Italy, this was our favourite stay. It was close to the city Center (5-10 min walk) and feels quiet and private (with its own courtyard). There are great restaurants and cafes near by and the hosts provided us with fresh bakeries each morning. Then private courtyard was a great spot for brekkie. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Phenomenal stay

This was a phenomenal stay. The place is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable and clean. There is a small orange grove in the backyard, where our 5-y.o. son was safe to run and play by himself. Breakfast was great too. The place is cross the street from the city center of Lecce, also known as "the Florence of the South"—with good reason. Luisa has 4 rooms: we had the largest one, but she also has one (or two?) smaller ones that are equipped with a full kitchen (!); rooms can be connected for larger groups. We could park the car in their courtyard for the whole day for just 5 euros. I highly recommend this place.

5+ Stars

This guest house gets 5+ stars from me. On my fourth city of a long Italian holiday, staying in guest house type accommodations each time so far, my experience has been so-so. However, this location restored my faith. The property itself is beautiful, the historic nature of it adding to the experience of visiting this amazing city. The rooms are extremely clean, spacious, and well decorated. The complementary drinks, snacks, and morning pastries are icing on the cake. Also, the location is great, right next to the historic city center. Based on all of these reasons, and the price, this is without a doubt a 5-star experience. The + is in the level of customer service. Upon checkout I forgot my credit card in the office. I had walked to the train station and was sitting on the train, unaware I was about to leave my card behind. All of a sudden, Luisa, one of the owners, comes running through the train to hand me my card. The train pulled away about 30 seconds later. Thank you so, so much Luisa - my trip would have been really difficult if you hadn’t gone the extra mile (literally). I will definitely be telling friends to visit Lecce and to stay at L’Orangerie d’Epoque!

Very nice B&B at Old Lecce’s door

Great location, @ the doors of Old Lecce. L’Orangerie is a beautiful B&B, Anna e Luisa were very kind & helpful when anything was needed or asked. The room we had was spacious, comfortable & we really enjoyed the kitchenette we had to eat breakfast & make coffee. Remember to give them a heads up when you are driving there: they can potentially accommodate you with nice & secure parking, if you are courageous enough to park your car [welcome in the tight spots in Italia]. Five stars, we definitely recommend, & we would definitely go back.
