"The hotel was extremely dog friendly, which was a relief for me. When you’re traveling with your service pet and you’re constantly being questioned overseas if it’s actually a service pet or if you have a lap dog it becomes anxious making all the time. So, when I walk into a beautiful hotel that welcomes you with a smile and welcomed your pet with a smile it’s such a relief!!! Thank you for the wonderful stay."
"Everything was wonderful. The room was clean and the staff were wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast offered a lot of variety and we always managed to find parking close by. The location was perfect ...walking distance to everything. Would definitely recommend this hotel"
"This place is fantastic. It’s a short 2-3 minute walk into Old Town which is incredibly beautiful, would highly recommend this place to stay! Wish we had more time here"
"Wonderful service, genuine caring and helpful. Only a short one night stay but loved the central location and all the details that make this palazzo special."
"The view of the sea was spectacular. The entire property and room were in excellent condition and very clean. The daily breakfast was amazing and the terrace cookout was superb, especially the wine. Each employee went went above and beyond, from front desk, dining staff to housekeeping."
"Arrival through beautiful tall wood doors, but have to swing wide to get round them in the car - you can’t see what’s coming until you commit to the turn. Drive lined with lovely terracotta pot lamps which were lit at night, signpost directing you to reception isn’t lit - would be helpful if you arrived at night. Warm welcome by receptionist who also showed us round and to our room.
Had booked a mezzanine room which was lovely. Bathroom was on the ground floor, the stairs were quite steep, and hubby’s arthritis was playing up. Also difficult if you need the bathroom during the night as room became very dark. Hubby ended up sleeping in the lounge area for safety for the first night. Spoke to Francesco in reception the next morning and he kindly sourced us a fully ground floor room “we want to keep our guests happy!”
The rooms are decorated in keeping with the Moroccan style, but are tired and in need of renovation, particularly the terracotta floor tiles which are badly damaged and gouged and are an accident waiting to happen - also in reception area. Wardrobe was dusty.
Pool is large and spacious, surrounded by palms, cleaned each day. Site is open to day guests and it was very hot so can become crowded. Luckily we had sussed out the better sunbed re shade and got there early; beds got, no seating position. Pool towels provided. Pool bar nice. Had lunch in restaurant - nice choice. WiFi poor connectivity. Good location though."
"Great location for exploring Lecce. Francesca was a lovely host and made our stay perfect, Erik was also very nice and the breakfast was amazing.
Highly recommend for anyone planning a visit to Lecce we would not stay anywhere else and plan to return in the future."
