9.6/10 Exceptional! (68 reviews)

Lovely hotel and facilities. Delicious food. Large rooms. Contemporary and luxurious fittings. Restful and quiet stay. Genuine 5 star review. Just be aware it's 30 mins drive from Lecce in rather featureless countryside. Once you enter the gates it's a different world.
