"Overall it’s a great hotel. Staff is excellent. Che k-in was easy and front desk gave us a good intro to city. Room is spacious. Large bath tub and separate shower. Bed was comfortable. Shower pressure and temperature excellent. Good size closet Gym is very small but 24 hour access. Upstairs lounge was a great vibe. Only complaint was a tremendous amount of very small ants in bathroom and even some in bedroom. We mentioned it to desk and they apologized for the issue next day but the ants were a presence. You never saw just one. I would still stay here again because I loved the room. Staff, lounge and hotel … plus the location is perfect"

"We spent 5 nights at Masseria Stali in August. Our experience was wonderful. The restaurant is excellent and offers a good choice of pastas, meat dishes and farmhouse vegetable options, along with a great wine list and desserts. Breakfast was a good spread and staff at both dinner and breakfast grew to know each guest as the days went by. Excellent pool and grounds, lighting at night is perfect. Good location to jump to Adriatic beaches (30 mins), Galatina, Otranto and Lecce for sightseeing. Would highly recommend !"

"A very impressive hotel in the old town of Lecce. Very helpful staff. We had a lovely room on two floors, which meant a trip downstairs during the night to use the loo. Maybe something to bear in mind. Also the air conditioning could not really cope with the size of the room, but maybe blame the recurrent heatwaves for that. We had a ‘cave’ like pool as well; sadly the jacuzzi side of it did not work. We were only there one night so did not feel it worth bringing up with the staff."
