9.6/10 Exceptional! (97 reviews)

Although the structure was about an 18 minute walk to the centre of Historic Lecce, we chose this hotel for a one week stay because it was very historical and beautiful. Starting from the reception staff to the breakfast staff they were very obliging and there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do to make your stay enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was kept up to date with ample food by Katia and her colleagues to make sure nothing was missing. An employee, Antonio, went beyond his regular duties to make sure we had English tv channels. The room was very spacious and provided ample space for a very comfortable stay. The room was kept clean. There were two restos to chose from a 5 star Michelin and a traditional one.
