Excellent. Great communication before arrival (Alessandra) - we arrived late on the day of a national train strike - but were able to be buzzed in remotely. Superb breakfast. Great room, although there wasn't a safe. Staff very good about leaving luggage between check-out and train-departure.

Lovely room in a charming area of Lecce

The room was lovely, clean and comfortable with nice breakfast. The only problem was getting access on the day we arrived. I had messaged with our arrival time but the rooms were not easy to find, then when we found the property it required further messaging to access. A bit inconvenient but we did enjoy our stay.

Great stay

Had to park on street. Payment is at a box nearby. Only cost 3 euro till 9 am the following day. Easy walk to property. Had to be buzzed in. Nice large room (suite). Nice balcony. A/C worked. Host recommended an exceptional restaurant, Animaterrae, and even made the reservation. Best meal this trip! Good location in the heart of old town. Some reviews complained about the steps, those people haven’t spent much time in Italy. The steps are minimal. Excellent breakfast on the rooftop terrace.

This property surpassed my expectations, it is a converted palazzo, my room was spacious and comfortable with an immaculate and modern bathroom. The staff (not 24 hours) were friendly and helpful. A fabulous feature is the roof terrace where a generous breakfast was served (I was there in October and plenty warm to be outside). I booked this not knowing what to expect and was really impressed, I would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend. Fantastic!

We had a wonderful stay at Palazzo Marino B and B. The quality and standards of the B and B are equal to a four star hotel. The staff were very helpful and were able to fix a small A/C glitch we had in our room. I would definitely stay at this establishment again. It is a short walk into the center of Lecce and is very quiet at night. We loved our stay.

Great typical rooms

I was there for 2 nights. The rooms are amazing. I got a city view room that had a view to the Piazzetta. The rooms ver very typical of the region with very tall roofs. It had an amazing bed and pillows. Service could do some work. I never got a welcome from the B&B (everything was done through WhatsApp and they opened the doors of the B&B and room automatically. Never got a checkout hour nor explicit information. Breakfast is very nice and simple. The granola is AMAZING. I missed having eggs for breakfast since it is never offered as an option. The location is very convenient and parking is easy about 3 blocks away.

Excellent place!!! Really recommend!!!

Let’s start with the good. This place is amazing!!! Is clean, is beautiful, there people are great. The location is prime location to visit old town Lecce. Really recommend. The less good: We were looking for a nice place to stay in Lecce that would have parking. While the information provided for the property clearly stated that there was parking, actually there wasn’t. More than that, the hotel is located in the old town of Lecce where one cannot actually park the car. BUT!!! The hotel provided a location where was possible to park the car for a fee and it was really really close to the hotel. One last thing, there are some stairs to do to reach the first floor… but they feel like you are going up two stories. It is what is when you have a really old building (in great condition BTW). To summarize: overall I really recommend and next time I will be visiting Lecce, I would certainly stay there again.
