Vico dell' Elce

Very refined structure already visible from the pictures,large room,comfortable and spacious bed, beautiful bathroom with large shower and excellent water flow. Superb breakfast with local products,all surrounded by a structure that tells the story. My compliments.

Welcome excellent and host available for questions and information.

Well renovated hotel and host was very interested.

Inadequate breakfast

The airy atrium, the clean and functional rooms.

I felt that the rooms were a little small. Also, one cannot expect change of towels daily as this is a Bed and Breakfast.

Property design is very well done, it’s very clean, the owner is wonderful man.

Hotel was conveniently located, a short walk from the walls of the old town (Cafe Astoria by Porto San Biagio is excellent, friendly and very good value for breakfast). There is a lot of free parking round the hotel but it is a busy area however Rosario was helpful with parking and held a space for us so we could park nearby. Our room was very clean but small and had no window so a bit claustrophobic. The photos on the website are deceptive and give the impression of a much larger space than it actually is, 5 rooms round one courtyard.

The biggest issue came when paying the bill. He only had a tap phone payment method and UK cards are limited to £100 for such transactions so our cards (Visa and Mastercard) would not work. He suggested I walk 20 minutes in the rain to the nearest bank to withdraw cash. In the end I made a direct transfer payment using my phone banking app but still got hassled for a receipt. If you run a hospitality business it is your responsibility to ensure that you are able to take all standard forms of payment (Visa and Mastercard are not exceptional!!!), it is not the responsibility of the guest to comply with you. If you can only take American Express this needs to be stated clearly upfront. It was a very irritating end to a very nice stay (Lecce is fabulous) and would not stay here again.

This hotel is a gem! Beautiful clean modern facilities in a historic building. The owner is attentive and is so kind which makes the trip that much better. Breakfast and coffee was great! The location is central and you can walk everywhere. It was a beautiful central place to stay for 6 nights!

I stayed 6 nights. This hotel is a gem! The owner was extremely attentive and kind. He helped us with our taxis, airport transfers, reservations. He was always available for questions, breakfast, coffee. The location is perfect to the old city. The bathroom and bedroom is modern in a classic old building. The best of both worlds. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Rosario made our stay great. He wmade sure we were as comfortable as possible.

The owner was a very kind host, excellent location. Neat, clean, comfortable bed.
