We loved our stay! We wanted an authentic Italian experience, not just a hotel room, and this delivered. There were just a couple of things that needed improvement, or we experienced during our stay that could be tweaked for future guests. Firstly, the 'free parking' shouldn't even be listed. It gave us the illusion that although there wasn't parking on site, there was available free parking nearby. This wasn't the case, as we had to park 10 minutes away on the street, as the car park recommended was full. Not a big thing, just something to be aware of. The breakfast food was lovely; it was a great opportunity to try local delicacies. But we would have preferred an option after a couple of days of tasting the food, to have a tick list of we'd like going forward. As half the items served to us barely got touched, and the tomato dishes were beautiful, but only came out half the time. When we did see the hosts, they were nice enough. No one really introduced themselves the day after we arrived, and in the end, I had to message Francesca regarding the air conditioning dripping in my room (which happened twice on our 5-day stay), and that was the only time I had any contact. Slightly bemused by the previous reviews about the hosts, as I felt the interaction (especially when we checked out) was quite awkward. But all in all, it's the perfect location within the historic centre of Lecce for dining, drinks, and shopping. A couple of tweaks would make this a 10/10 place to stay.

Great stay, but be aware of the "free parking" We stayed at this B&B, which is very well located in the historic center — perfect for exploring on foot. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet, and breakfast was delicious with fresh local products. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside is the "free parking" claim. You can’t actually drive into the historic center unless you're a resident, so there’s a risk of fines. Free parking is available, but it’s street parking about 4 blocks away — not on-site as the listing might suggest. Other than that, it was a great experience and we’d definitely stay again.

Feeling like a queen and king

It was a most amazing experience. A real palace, with the real owner of it, elegant, with a lot of history, huge, in the middle of the Old City. Breakfast was served in the apartment itself, all delicious and fresh. Francesca and Jose were extraordinary! In particular, on the last day, he drove us and the luggage out of the old city to be able to reach our car.
