Alvino Suite And Breakfast

Alvino is a wonderful bakery. The room I had that was billed as being part of Alvino was in another building. Entry was through a trash strewn alley. I had a second floor room with no windows, no sprinklers, no smoke detector and only one exit. The water in the shower consistently cycled comfortable, too hot, too cold, comfortable, too hot, too cold. I highly recommend the bakery, which sadly was closed one of the two days I was there, but do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere,

Great central location allowing us to walk everywhere we wanted to see. Comfortable room, nice traditional Italian breakfast downstairs.

Very convenient location right in the center of town. You do have to park a little far, especially if you’re there on a weekend, but it’s not too bad. I suggest dropping the luggage off with someone to check in and then go find parking so you’re not pulling luggage thru the stone walkways for blocks. They did give us free breakfast coupons for the Alvino cafe, we didn’t use them because it was so busy and tables were not available. There are plenty of cafes all around though, we liked one a few steps away called Tranquillo. The only thing was that the beds were very hard, we weren’t able to get super comfortable.

Very accommodating staff Barbara and Ilaria!! Great location love the cafe Alvino downstairs,, historic site excellent location

I've rarely seen a greater disconnect between photos on a web site and the reality of a room. The room I wound up in was more of a cell, with one window 15 feet up against the ceiling. It offered no ventilation in the stiflingly hot room, and I had to make several calls to get the air conditioning turned on to and to borrow a fan. The condition can best be described as neglected. The bathroom fixtures were all corroded, the towels were old and frayed, the bedsheets had holes in them, and the pillows were so old and flat I had to pile 3 one top of each other just to get a little support. When I opened to closet, there was a coating of dust on the shelf. Fortunately, I had also been given a stained bath towel so I used that to clean the closet. The location is very central, which is great for moving around the city, but it can very noisy at night (particularly when the restaurants dump their recycling in the bins in the alley). All in all, this was a very poor B&B, and it adversely affected my experience of Lecce. I contacted Hotels.com hoping they could do something to help. They did nothing but offer me some onekey cash, which is of no use to me as this experience has convinced me not to use Hotels.com again.
