"What an amazing boutique hotel in the historic center of fascinating Lecce! Thank you to the whole staff for making my family’s stay so wonderful. Grazie mille!"
"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."
