This hotel is an amazing place to experience Every part of the old monastery is beautiful and our room was beautiful. They managed to keep the character but add modern elements. The staff is very helpful in every way and the food is very good. It is close enough to the historical centre by car but not to walk in the high heat. I would love to stay there again!

Incrível este hotel. Tudo funciona perfeitamente. A recepção é ágil e simpática, com destaque para Sara e Anna. O café da manhã é maravilhoso e completo, com destaque para a brasileira Beatriz. No hotel funciona o Restaurante Gimmi com uma estrela Michelin. O maître Alessandro, é super simpático. A arquitetura é lindíssima. Uma boa caminhada do centro histórico de Lecce. Valeu demais!

Alt for høj musik, og bryllup overtog hotel

Vi havde forventet rolige omgivelser, da det var et tidligere kloster. Desværre var et bryllup i gang, med et live-band foran vores balkon. Selv med lukkede døre, var vi ufrivilligt en del af festen. Vi kunne slet ikke nyde hotellet. Flygtede derfra, og vendte tilbage om aften, da vi skulle i seng.

Wonderful little oasis of tranquility 👌

We had a wonderful one night break at this beautiful hotel. The room, gardens, breakfast and service were all top quality. We especially enjoyed the large choice of breakfast options and the professionalism of the waiting staff. The luxurious bathrobes and slippers were made of a super soft and cosy material. We would love to return in the summer to make the most of the garden and pool. Thank you for an exceptional stay at the end of our week of touring Puglia.
