Villa in Salento

Our recent stay at this villa in Lecce was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we’d found something truly special. Our hosts, Alexandria and Alexandro could not have been more accommodating and gracious. The property itself is stunning—an elegant fusion of historic charm and modern comfort. High vaulted ceilings in the traditional Lecce stone, beautifully restored architectural details, and thoughtfully curated décor give every room character and warmth. It feels like staying in a boutique hotel, but with the privacy and space of a home.What truly elevated the stay, though, were the hosts. Communication before and during our visit was prompt, warm, and genuinely caring. Check-in was smooth and flexible, with clear instructions and helpful local tips. Plus they offered a pasta making cooking class with dinner afterward with wine, appetizers, great conversation and FUN!Cleanliness was impeccable. The villa was spotless on arrival, and it’s obvious that a lot of pride goes into maintaining the property. Everything felt fresh, well looked after, and exactly as (if not better than) the photos.In short, this villa was the highlight of our trip to Puglia. It combines luxury and authenticity in a way that’s rare to find: you get the romance of staying in a historic Italian home, with all the modern comforts you could want. We left already dreaming of when we could come back.

Alessandra was amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay the best. She was so warm and welcoming. The house was clean and perfect for us and we would love to come back some day.

We had the most incredible stay with Alessandro and Alessandra. Their house is beautiful and in a great location. Alessandra was very attentive and answered our many questions. She also provided adaptors and anything we needed. We also took their cooking class that they offer at the B&B and it was such a special night, one of our favorite nights of the trip! Would highly highly recommend anyone to stay with them while in Lecce!

When we visited, the outside temperature was very, very hot. The upstairs bedroom air conditioners kept the bedrooms cool for sleeping. Our favorite thing about our stay was our kind host and the beautiful back garden. Alessandra has thought of every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Next time, we look forward to her giving us a lesson.

Great Accommodations in the heart of Lecce. Walking distance to Old Town. Hosts Alessandra and Alessandro have great suggestions for day trips...take them! Felt like family the entire time there. We had the entire place to ourselves but could be crowded if all rooms full!
