8/10 Good
"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."
