Très bon rapport qualité-prix

Le rapport qualité-prix est très bon. Les "palais" italiens sont toujours appréciables car spacieux (pratiquement 5 mètres sous plafond), surtout quand ils sont bien rafraîchis comme c'est le cas ici. Décors tout de même un peu froid et peu "cosy" quand on reste plus de deux ou trois jours (nous y étions pour une semaine).

Air bnb worth the price

This air bnb was fantastic. The owner is an amazing person. She is very helpful. She dropped me off to the train station and also refunded me back my money because I didn’t stay the whole time that I booked (she didn’t have to do that). The room is located in the heart of Lecce, you are literally a walk away from anything you want. Amazing country can’t wait to go back.

Historic venue

The accom was excellent and spacious, in old city very close to banks, restaurants, bike hire etc. Our booking stated free car parking, please note there is no free car parking. You can drop your bag for free and then you must park about 300 m away in paid parking areas. Our booking also stated balcony and roof terrace but we were not introduced to the roof terrace and room didn't have a balcony. Reception area is manned for checkin only but can telephone owner with any queries. We loved our stay and accom is in fantastic location and very generous sized bathroom. I would definitely stay again but would like accurate information. The owner was very helpful at checkin and helped us collect our bags from the car parked 300 m away. There is a shared fridge you can use and this is very useful when traveliing.

Meget venlig vært og super serviceminded.

Beliggenhed i top, men ankommer man, som vi, om aftenen er det en udfordring at køre i gaderne , da restauranter indtager pladsen. Det kræver ekstrem tålmodighed og selvkontrol. Gaderne er ca 2,5 m brede og ensrettede. Når der anføres fri selvstændig parkering er det omkostningsfrit for hotellet, da alle må parkere frit. det er således et spørgsmål om at finde en plads tæt nok på hotellet.

Good room, great location, even greater host

The B&B´s location is great, with all the sightseeings at a very short distance. Although it is located in a busy part of the city, the room are quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast is not available at the hotel but is at a 3-minute walk. We actually liked to go to the café and have breakfast on the terrace. There is a very good restaurant just 2 blocks away, Nona Totti, we recommend it. Emerico was a wonderful host, he was very friendly and helpful. He was available even when we checked in late (around 11:00 pm), he also recommended good places to eat and to visit and even helped us to print tickets. We would absolutely recommend to stay at B&B Dimora Storica.

We visited Lecce to enjoy the architecture

The B and B was perfectly located close to the centre. It was necessary to ring ahead as our host is not on site. He arrived as planned and we were given tokens for a nearby cafe for a breakfast under the trees. The architecture is spectacular but do not miss the Roman Theatre (different from the central amphitheatre). It has a small explanatory museum attached and you get to clamber around the very well preserved site. Also the archeological museum, just around the corner which is a town house revealing thousands of years of habitation. it is the Faggiano. Take courage to climb down to the lower store rooms and up to the roof. We had just finished a cookery course in lower Puglia with Flavours, brilliant site and wonderful food so interesting to compare with the restaurants in Lecce.

Una vera dimora storica nel centro di Lecce

Atmosfere indimenticabili........ ,palazzi barocchi con facciate ricchissime di decori, bellissime chiese .....e poi la sera all'improvviso in piazza Sant'Oronzo un popolo di tutte l' eta' che balla la pizzica al ritmo di enormi tamburelli....
