- Jan (10/5): -
- Amie (10/5): Book your stay! - Historically unique with a fantastic host.
- Ropero (9/5): -
- paolo (10/5): - Location was perfect and Nikos was great what a beautiful person rooms were amazing respecting the history of the building .private parking nearby
- Sandra (10/5): -
- Manuela (10/5): Authentische Zimmer wie in einem Palazzo, alles perfekt, sehr freundliche Betreuung - Tolles authentisches und großes Zimmer wie in einem Palazzo. Alles sauber und perfekt. Lage perfekt gleich in der Altstadt und in den Einkaufsstraßen der Neustadt. Nikos war sehr freundlich hat uns viele Tipps gegeben und auch ansonsten sehr gut betreut. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Wir haben die Unterkunft auch schon an Freunde empfohlen. gar nichts
- Alan (10/5): Wonderful stay at Historical Suites VVM - We enjoyed everything about our stay in Historical Suites VVM. Our host Nikos was exceptional. He helped drive our car through the Historical area, gave perfect recommendations on sights to see, and provided a wonderful breakfast. He also gave us the history of the beautiful property.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
- Simon (10/5): The accommodation alone would entice me to return to Lecce! - Everything Nothing
- ARIEL OSCAR PABLO (10/5): Gravísima experiencia y una atención sublime por parte de Nikos, el anfitrión - Ubicación en el centro y habitaciones muy amplias con un estilo del siglo XIX, impecable
- Antoine (10/5): -
- Mark (10/5): Central location, outstanding service, beautiful room with balconies, and exceptional breakfast! - The location was centrally located. I had just minutes' walk to every tour, duomo, restaurant, shopping. The breakfast was outstanding! Fresh Italian meats, cheeses, and pastries to die for. So well presented and plentiful. There was no need for lunch! And I cannot say enough about Nikos and his exceptional service and hospitality! Not applicable!
- Gerald (10/5): Nikos was a charming, helpful and excellent host - A beautiful property extravagantly furnished Nothing
- Jeremy (10/5): Fantastic stay - It is the perfect location, beautiful old palazzo but what makes this place special is the host Nikos. He truly delivers exceptional service. Nothing
- Kenneth (10/5): Fantastic place to stay in the middle of the old city - We liked everything about this place, especially our host Nikos. He provided excellent advice on sites to see and restaurants. He even parked our car and pulled it out of the tricky parking place inside the property. (I wish we had rented a smaller car) Breakfast was delicious, especially the Pasticciotto Leccese pastry. The property is located right in the middle of the historic old town and it is a short walk to most everything worth seeing. The building is historic, but also well renovated and maintained. We were very comfortable and well accommodated. This is our first stop in Italy on this trip and it has set a very high standard for every other place we will be staying. Given its location in the middle of the old town, there is a bit of street noise from people passing by. Nothing too bad.
- Cheryl (10/5): A very worthwhile experience!! Highly recommend! - The property was very centrally located in a large home with original antiques and a great story.
The proprietor Nikos was beyond helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience both in the hotel and in the city. Nothing
- Sharon (10/5): Memorable would recommend to all - Our Host Nikos was very helpful and welcoming. He explained the history of the building we were staying in and also told us about places to see and had great recommendations for restaurants & bars. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Leece. N/a
- Georgia (10/5): Beautiful historic place to stay in such a historic city. Great beginning to our month in Italy. - The owner was very helpful and attentive. Fabulous location and the furnishings are all authentic and beautiful with a modern large bathroom with big walk-in shower. The location is right in the center and easy walking through the historic district. Loved staying there! Breakfast ok and he made us as much coffee as we wanted.
- Woods (10/5): Our host Niko was exemplary, he was so helpful, informative and a great communicator. - Location was perfect!
- Patricia (10/5): Living on a Movie set for 1800’s!! - This home was built in 1800 and has been in the same family ever since. It truly was a step back in time. I felt like I was in a movie as I woke up and looked and the very high ceiling that they try to keep in its original design! Nikos, our host was very friendly and helpful! He shared stories of the past and helped us make the most of our couple of days in Lecce! We appreciated this attention very much!! Would definitely go back!! I loved the property and appreciated its, cleanliness, comfort and the hospitality!
- Kevin (10/5): Amazing place to stay- the perfect base to enjoy all that the stunning city of Lecce has to offer. - Everything! The rooms are beautifully restored and very comfortable, the location is perfect and there's even a tasty breakfast in the old library. The host, Nikos, is a star; he is the perfect host, so welcoming, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Nothing at all.
- Eynaudi (10/5): Una estadía que nos encantó - Lecce fue una ciudad que nos encantó, La ubicación es inmejorable, la atención de Niko fue excelente, todo limpio, la habitación amplísima, mucha historia en este inmueble del 1800. Siempre es posible mejorar en el desayuno, quizás podría tener algo más de variedad. Los pasticciotos….lo mejor.
- Féthi (10/5): Une très belle découverte! - Nikos fait partie de ces êtres qui ne se force pas à être aimable, proche des clients, souriant et disponible toujours au moment présent.
En fait, il est tout ça…
Merci pour tout et il ne faut surtout rien changer . Rien
- Gérard (10/5): Lecce, lieux idéal pour découvrir le sud du Salento, bien conseillé par un hôte extra. - L'accueil chaleureux et bienveillant de Nikos, notre hôte, et son merveilleux appartement. Il nous a donné "les clefs" de la ville pour que nous puissions nous y garer sans inquiétude, accéder aux endroits touristiques incontournables et quelques adresse de restaurant et pizzeria. Il nous a conseillé également sur les meilleurs itinéraires de visite au sud de Lecce.
L'appartement est idéalement placé au centre de la ville historique, à quelques dizaines de mètres de la splendide place du Duomo et proche de toutes les beautés du centre historique.
Nous avons apprécié la chambre immense et ses dépendances ainsi que la literie parfaite. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et délicieux. Rien
- Meri (9/5): -
- e8cbe90c6b9672b63780d6e7e7766568 (10/5): Superbe séjour grâce au maître des lieux qui nous partage son savoir ! Nikos est à notre disposition, merci - L accueil l emplacement l ambiance … la sympathie etc Rien
- aa87faaa18707327b0b459d47c34301f (10/5): Lovely stay at a historic home - We were received so warmly by Nikos, who made sure we had a comfortable stay and gave us fantastic tips on the city and surrounds. The rooms were elegant and harked back to a bygone era Nothing!
- e37232deb9d972f59f376388af72c9dd (10/5): Excellent - The hospitality and the location were just perfect! Unique experience and best wishes to Nikolaos!
- 4be8a813c77271869681eb44a0a31ca7 (10/5): Great room, great and helpful host, clean, good breakfast - Nice hotel room with a lot of charm. The owner was very helpful with everything from parking to recommendations. He helped us make the most of a couple of rainy days.
- 2c94594786477153bc539b076bde4a18 (10/5): Superbes conseils avisés de Nikos sur les visites à faire, où manger etc - Accueil service disponibilité de Nikos. Top
Emplacement au pied du Duomo. Au cœur de ville.
Accès aisé
Au cœur des Pouilles facile de rayonner Rien
- 8f01009063b67324b98ccef1d0b2e2c6 (10/5): Authentisch historisch mitten in der Altstadt von Lecce. Besser geht nicht. - Das Haus ist historisch und dabei super in Schuss. Das Zimmer war riesig. Alles war authentisch alt. Das Bad war dagegen neu und das Frühstück liebevoll zubereitet und sehr reichhaltig. Der Host Nikos alleine verdient schon eine 10. Toller Service. Das einzige, was mir nicht gefallen hat, war, dass ich nicht länger bleiben konnte.
- 9a85d59c22257265b6a89d31b85804d1 (10/5): PERFECT - Everything - from the central place in Lecce, to the rooms that are full of history, and the kindness of Nikos
- Lea (10/5): Fabulous location. Helpful host. Historic and luxury accommodation. - It was in the center of everything. Very convenient to seeing the beautiful city of Lecce and the most famous sites. Nikos was extremely helpful. He made all sorts of recommendations, even marking up a map to help us find the best places in town. He also told us interesting details about the history of the hotel which made the stay even more special. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel! Nothing. It was amazing.
- Schneiter (10/5): Excellent venue, superb host. - Nikos was a perfect host.
This place was warm & clean, very central to the old town & all the tourist sights.
Large amazing looking room, full of original features & lovely breakfast. Occasionally a little noisy in the street outside, but you can't blame this property for that.
- Linette (10/5): It was a great experience and I highly recommend it. - It has everything that matters to me when I travel— a comfortable bed, room to spread out, a great shower and a great location. The bonus was the wonderful host, Nikos. He truly cares about his hotel and his guests. The coffee was drinkable but not great. It’s the only think I can think of that could be improved.
- Elias (10/5): - We had an amazing stay here. The suites are beautiful, set in a historic former residence of a lawyers’ family, and very clean. From our balcony, we had a great view of the Campanile del Duomo. The central location in Lecce's historical centre is excellent.
Breakfast was delicious, with local products and fresh pastries baked by our host, Nikos.
Nikos was very friendly and helpful, and gave us great tips for sightseeing and restaurants.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Historical Suites VVM!
- HYOUNG (10/5): 레체에서의 완벽한 휴가. - 완벽한 휴가~!! 숙소 주인 니코는 여행업을 하고있는, 유럽에서 수백번의 숙박을 경험한 제 기준에도 너무 친절하고 섬세한 관리자였습니다. 왠만한 5성급 호텔 매니저보다 훌륭했습니다.
우리는 9인승 벤 차량을 이용하여 숙소에 도착했는데, ZTL 을 등록해주고, 우리가 보행자 거리에서 어려움을 걲을까봐 직접 와서 운전을 도와줄 수 있다는 제안까지 하였습니다. 결국 안전하게 숙소에 도착할 수 있었고, 그 중세 도시 구시가 중심에 위치한 건물 중 거의 유일하게 있을것만 같은 주차장까지 있었습니다. 9인승 벤을 안전하게 주차하였고 우리는 편하게 짐을 내릴 수 있었습니다.
니코는 여섯명인 우리의 무거운 캐리어를 기꺼이 들고 계단으로 옮겨 주었고, 우리는 엘리베이터로 숙소가 있는 1층까지 편하게 올라갈 수 있었습니다.
숙소의 각 객실은 1800년도에 만들어진 객실다운 고풍스러움이 있었고, 너무나도 잘 관리되어 바로크 시대로 들어온 느낌을 받기까지 하였습니다.
하나의 박물관을 연상하게 하는 완벽한 숙소와 객실이었습니다.
저는 니코와 객실, 대성당 바로 옆에 자리한 위치 때문에 이 숙소를 적극 추천합니다.
너무 행복한 시간을 만들어준 니코에게 진심으로 감사하다는 말씀 드립니다. 없습니다.
- sophie (10/5): Extraordinaire séjour à Lecce - Tout! Magnifique chambre dans un palet XXVIII
La gentillesse exceptionnelle du propriétaire, les informations données, le petit déjeuner remarquable!
Service et hébergement 5 étoiles !! Rien
- Andrew (10/5): An amazing stay in a historic family ‘castle’ - Magnificent property with an incredible host. This home is amazing, historic, spacious, and in a perfect position in the center of Lecce. Nikos was a pleasure with great hospitality and warmth. Breakfast was served every morning and was very good. Nothing
- Michael (10/5): A wonderful stay in the heart of Lecce - What a find! The location is perfect—right in the historic centre of Lecce, yet quiet and peaceful. Step outside the door and you are immediately immersed in the beauty and atmosphere of the city.
The suites retain their remarkable historic character; staying here feels a bit like living in a small museum, with beautiful architectural details throughout.
Breakfast offers many choices and is served in another lovely setting that complements the historic surroundings.
Most of all, the hospitality stands out. Nikos is the perfect host—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
Before booking, I read the excellent reviews. After spending almost a week here, I can confirm they are absolutely deserved. This is truly a special place to stay in Lecce
- Flinn (10/5): A beautiful experience in a beautiful town. - An absolute treasure in the heart of Lecce. Very comfortable and spacious with spectacular frescoes on the ceiling of the bedroom.
A fresh and plentiful breakfast served each morning.
Our host Niko was a delight and every little detail was looked after.
We would 100% stay here again.
- Tzvetanka (10/5): Топла и приятелска история - Всичко е чудесно. Отличен и сърдечен домакин е Никос. Всички удобства са тук. B&B е в класическа стара сграда в сърцето на стария град със запазени автентични мебели и всички нужни удобства.Март е без много туристи с приятно време.
- Marni (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Lecce with the best host ever! - Amazing place to stay in Lecce! Our room was HUGE and beautiful, right in the heart of the old city. Nikos was literally the best host we've ever had. He met us at the gate and helped us drive into the property's parking spot. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants, tours, museums, day-trips, Masserias, He made a wonderful breakfast every day. He is honestly the best host. Wow!
- Gino (10/5): A wonderful and memorable stay. I will be back. - The location in the centro storico was perfect. The building and the rooms were enchanting. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of items to choose from. Nikos was a fantastic host. He gave me a history of the building and area, made sightseeing recommendations, and provided a list of various local restaurants. And he was always available to answer any questions or assist. When I return to Lecce, I'm definitely staying here again. Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect.
- Carlton (10/5): Wonderful place to stay and visit. Five stars. - Best stay of our 15 days in Southern Italy. The location is in a very elegant house that hearkened back to the Baroque times. It is the house of a noble family. The breakfast was perfect. We learned a lot about Lecce and the advice for restaurants and sites was spot on. The owner met us at the city gates and escorted us to the property. We parked our car inside the mansion property for a very reasonable price.
The furnishings were amazing. We slept on a brass bed from the 1820s--most comfortably. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful manor house. I can't say enough good things about Lecce. Nothing
- Paula (10/5): Amazing property - Like going back in time - Amazing historic property in a perfect location. Our host Nikos was so amazingly helpful and considerate. Staying at this property is like going back in time, we really felt lucky to stay here. Nothing,
Everything was great.
- Sallyann (10/5): It was a wonderful experience in a lovely city. - We really liked the assistance that Nikos gave us, the central location and the lovely room. It was great to meet other travellers st the breakfast table. Breakfast was also very generous.
- Stefan (10/5): Most wonderful and fantastic stay in all of Italy! -
- gilles (10/5): -
- Esther (10/5): Spectaculair - The appartement and the host. Very helpful.
- christine (10/5): a place of unique memories - The star of the ‘show’ is Nikos, the host , who gave 100 per cent whether it was for the exceptional breakfasts or the fount of information he knew of the region.
The house is exceptionally beautiful with furniture and decor to match . We were truly spoilt 😊 Having to go home !!
- Heather Murr (10/5): Historical wonder in the heart of Lecce - A stunning apartment in the centre of everything. With a small balcony overlooking a lovely street. Great restaurants and the baroque buildings and Piazzas are wonderful. Nikos was the best host I've ever come across. Breakfast suited me and yummy. Highly recommend this is a must stay . Nothing it was perfect
- Joan (10/5): - Nico the owner is an amazing host! Our room, the presidential suite was very large, with authentic original furniture from 1800! Balcony overlooks tower and main street. It's a very special place and we highly recommend it! Nothing
- Joan (10/5): Wow! - My husband and I have just returned from our stay and our parting comment was 'I would come to Lecce again just to stay here' That says it all really! As the description says, this is an historic building with lots of original features and is certainly a unique place to stay. The bedroom was huge (bathroom modern I'm happy to say) and the bed extremely comfortable. It is right in the centre and as such, can be a little noisy at night but with the windows closed you can't hear a thing. Nikos was the perfect host, he explained everything to us and made many suggestions as to what to see, where to eat and was extremely helpful finding out transport options for us. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful and Nikos even went out of his way to provide our preferred tea! We certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone Absolutely nothing
- Marianne (9/5): Geweldige accomodatie op top locatie - De prachtig ingerichte kamers, de geweldige locatie en Nikos de geweldige host
- Kevin (10/5): Great stay in an historic building - Nikos the host was certainly very helpful. For example, at breakfast we mentioned we normally drink breakfast tea and next day breakfast tea was available. Breakfast was very tasty with lots of fruits, cheese, ham and fresh baked pastries. Room and building was amazing and location was only a minute away from the cathedral.
- ilka (10/5): -
- Ratana (9/5): Wonderful stay and hospitality - Nikos and staffs are wonderful and very helpful
Locations in the center of everything
Beautiful room and good breakfast. We met wonderful people at this beautiful B&B
- Mary (10/5): What a treat! Thank you for a wonderful experience! - Our stay at Historical Suites VM was like being a guest of an important family in 19th century Lecce. This home is magnificent with all the original furniture, ceiling frescos, and ambiance. We stayed in a room with two balconies overlooking the bustling activity in the heart of the old city of Lecce, within an 8 minute walk to all the major tourist destinations in town. We totally enjoyed this location, day and night. When we closed the windows after our busy days, not a peep was heard from the street, and we were peaceful and cozy, waking up in the morning to angels on the ceiling. In addition to the authentic antique furnishings and decor, we had an ultra modern bathroom with great lighting and shower and plenty of towels. Each morning we gathered in the dining room for a lovely breakfast with an assortment of fresh pastries including the famous specialty “pacciotto,” along with bread, meats, cheese, yogurt, juice and cappuccino served by Nikos, the owner, who chatted with us about life in Lecce and Italy. He also helped us to plan our 3 day stay in Lecce to enjoy the history and wonderful baroque churches and eat at the best restaurants. We had such a great experience, we will be back! Absolutely no complaints!
- Sandra (10/5): The Real Deal - The Real Deal
The building in which the B&B is located is right behind the Duomo Bell Tower and couldn't be more central for touring the city.
It is an 1800's building and the floor of the B&B has been lovingly restored. All the furniture is antique and original.. except the bathroom, which is all modern.. phew!
Nikos, the host, could not be more helpful or friendly.
He is fluent in English and on arrival gave us a tour of the building and explained some of the contents.
He then suggested a walking tour on a Tourist Map and places of interest, including some restaurants
Breakfast is not not as varied as in some hotels, perhaps, but some cold meats, cheeses, and sweet pastries are provided together with juice and as much coffee as you want.
The room was cleaned daily.
Loved staying in a historic property in such a historic city and with such a nice host. Perhaps bottles of shower gel and shampoo instead of sachets could be provided in the bathroom.
- Sandra (10/5): The hotel was very unique and the overall experience was lovely. - Nikos was a gracious host who made us feel very welcome. It was akin to staying in someone’s charming home rather than a standard hotel/B&B. Since it only has 3 rooms and we had breakfast with the other guests at a dining table, it was enjoyable to chat with fellow travelers. The central location was also nice since the historical center is small, and if one needed to pop back to the room for something, it was very easy to do so. Our room was large, but lacked surface areas to place things such as a purse or toiletries. It would be more functional if some of the seating (a couch and 2 chairs) was removed in favor of a table. Also, breakfast had a bit less variety than we were used to. Perhaps less sweets and more protein options (such as boiled eggs or vegetables). That said, these are minor issues and will likely not matter to most guests.
- Ger (10/5): -
- Kim (10/5): From the moment we met Nikos we knew we were going to enjoy ourselves.He is a breath of fresh air; upbeat, accommodating - The Palazzo was beautiful! The gorgeous painted ceilings, beautiful antiques and a lovely balcony overlooking the bell tower were just a few of the highlights of our visit to Lecce. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
- Alice (10/5): Little gem in the centre of Lecce - Absolutely perfect, beautiful apartment with gorgeous ceilings and furniture, so special. Nikos really went above and beyond, sitting with us for at least half an hour to show us the city map and recommending some wonderful restaurants loved by locals - they were all excellent meals. Thank you Nikos. Nothing!
- torrent (7/5): - Desayuno correcto, sin más. La ubicación excelente aunque muy ruidosa la parte que da al corso Vittorio Enmanuelle Horario del desayuno y orden de situación ( mesa corrida donde te indican donde debes sentarte) impuesto. Si quiero confraternizar con los otros huéspedes lo decido yo, no la dirección del B&B
- julie (10/5): Absolutely perfect for our 2 night stay. - Everything, was beautiful, Nikos was amazing. Nothing
- Dominique LITALIEN (9/5): Un endroit où résider pour rester dans l'atmosphère de Lecce - L'accueil et les conseils de Nikos.
L'emplacement , tout était à portée de visite et c'est un plus de voir Lecce de nuit.
La décoration Un peu bruyant le soir du fait de l'emplacement mais c'était un choix d'être en plein centre...
- Steve (10/5): Historical property in located close to everthing - This historical property in located in the heart of Lecce with the Piazza Duomo just around the corner. The building’s door opens directly into the center close to restaurants, shops and historic sites. Nikos, who runs the place, greeted us warmly. He makes sure you get to do and see everything you’d like. The palazzo is old-fashioned with high fresco painted ceilings and original décor. Furniture and many decorative elements dating back to the original owners, so are the towels I think. Naturally, being right in the center of town, it can get noisy at night
- Susann (10/5): Stay here for sure if visiting Lecce. Perfect place to soak up some history while being well looked after by an attentiv - Our host Nikos met us with our hire car just out of the old town so he could drive us to the accommodation safely. The apartment building was amazing. Very old and ornate, with original antique furniture, brimming with generational history including bookshelves lined with old law books. Our room was immaculate, spacious, clean and comfortable and we felt we were living in a time warp. The bathroom was modern. The accommodation is perfectly located, close to all the historical sites, and shopping and restaurants . Everything was great.
- Natalia (10/5): - Amazing historical B&B, in the heart of Lecce historic center. Very comfortable bed. Nice big bathroom. We had a mini refrigerator with water supplied by the host, very appropriated. We loved sitting on our balcony sipping wine watching people in the evening Our host was great. He helped us park our car and gave lots of info about the town and beyond. We did not need the car during our stay in Lecce. We recommend whole heartedly!
- Pascale (9/5): - The location was perfect and the host a very helpful and knowledgeable gentleman.
He guided us through some of the most interesting places to visit…and we visited them all! The property is an old palazzo with lots of character. Staying there is like going back to a bygone age in history . We will definitely stay there again.
Lecce is an amazing city, but I recommend leaving the main tourist streets and just follow your nose down the little streets and alleys. There is so much to see and experience.
- Inge (8/5): Prima overnachting in nette B&B in hartje Lecce - Mooi locatie in het hartje van Lecce. Kamer met uitzicht op de hoofdstraat. B&B was schoon en netjes. Erg nette (nieuwe) badkamer voorzien van alles. Prima ontbijt, en heel vriendelijke gastheer Nikos, erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk.
- Artur (10/5): -

- Natalie (10/5): Amazing location - like staying in a part of history - plus super helpful host - Location. Host. Good value.
- Doug (10/5): Fabulous stay with the best host ever! - We loved the whole experience, including waking up to the angels frescoed on the ceiling. Property was immaculately maintained and restored with so many original features, like staying in a museum(in a good way)!
Location was very central, breakfast was delicious and what made our stay even better was the host Niko. He helped us plan our transport from Lecce and beyond, checking on buses, trains and taxis for us. Niko was always available to help with anything we needed and truly made us feel like family. Nothing, everything was wonderful.
- Helen (10/5): -
- Ryan (10/5): perfect hotel experience in authentic Baroque suite - this was such a fun hotel experience in a authentic baroque setting. Nikos managed the property and our stay perfectly. He provided information for activities in the area and met our every need. The rooms were clean and spacious. We loved all the large mirrors everywhere. And it is in a perfect location. we would stay here again without question. Nikos is a true gem. nothing. It was perfect.
- FILI (10/5): - Η διαμονή μας στο Lecce, στο Historical Suites VVM ήταν εκπληκτική. Ο χώρος που μας φιλοξένησε ισορροπεί άψογα ανάμεσα στο παρελθόν και το σήμερα, καθώς είναι επιμελημένος με σεβασμό στην ιστορικότητά του, ενώ παράλληλα προσφέρει και όλες τις σύγχρονες ανέσεις. Ο Νίκος, ο ιδιοκτήτης, μας υποδέχτηκε εγκάρδια, μας προσέφερε καθημερινά ένα πλούσιο πρωινό και ήταν πολύ βοηθητικός σε ό,τι και αν χρειαστήκαμε κατά τη διάρκεια της διαμονής μας. Το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα.
- Ilona (10/5): - The host left a particularly good impression. We had difficulty getting to the hotel, Nikos found us and accompanied us to the hotel. He was very attentive to us.
The stay was wonderful.
- Moloney (10/5): -
- Koen (10/5): Fantastic place on the best location in Lecce - Fantastic accommodation and location, in the middle of lively Lecce. Roomy appartement in original 1800 state, a true classic. Nikos pulled everything to make it the best B&B experience for us so far. He picked us up outside the old city and drove our car into the garage below the B&B (only 3 rooms, so very personal). Good advice on do's and don'ts, Nikos knows his stuff. Even showed up for check out at 6.20 as we had an early flight! Thanks Nikos, you are a star! Nothing
- Nick (10/5): A magnificent experience, superbly appointed -
- Martin (10/5): Superb - Beautiful 19th century (or earlier?) house with mostly original features and furniture but with modern bathroom facilities. The property could not be more central, being in the shadow of the bell tower and a 1 minute stroll to the Duomo. Nikos, the host, could not have been more helpful, meeting us outside on arrival, showing us around the property, explaining everything, advising us what to see and where to eat and being genuinely interested in his guests and making sure all was OK
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the beautiful city of Lecce. n/a
- VIRGINIA MERCEDES (10/5): Un lugar histórico en el corazón de Lecce atendido por sus dueños - Una propiedad del 1800 atendida por sus propios dueños! Mejor imposible! La ubicación inmejorable! Limpieza, confortable y calidez. El mobiliario original así como las pinturas y los pisos .Nikos fue el mejor anfitrión q nos podría haber tocado. Decididamente volvería. Todo me gustó

- jose maria (10/5): - El trato de Nikos y el Palacio en general. La suite era enorme y acorde a lo esperado.
Genial el aparcamiento dentro del portal.
- Pascal (10/5): Verblijf was fantastisch, locatie kan niet beter. Ik zou dit zeker aanbevelen. - De gastheer Mikos was fantastisch. De dag voor onze aankomst stuurde hij al een bericht via Whatsapp met een voorstel van de parking die zich op 5 minuten stappen van de B&B bevond. Toen we aankwamen stond Mikos ons al op te wachten. Het onthaal was perfect, Mikos nam alle tijd om ons naar onze kamer te begeleiden en om ons uitleg te geven over het pand en ons wegwijs te maken in Lecce op zowel cultureel als gastronomisch vlak.
De kamer was ruim en mooi ingericht. Het ontbijt was OK; ook hier gaf Mikos uitleg bij wat hij voorschotelde aan typische lokale producten.
Bedankt aan Mikos voor dit aangename verblijf.
- Srivastava (10/5): - Everything. The location is amazing, the room is very historic and very comfortable. The best thing was the host, who was absolutely wonderful. Nikos explained everything and was almost a tour guide. One of my best stays period.
- Luigi (10/5): Great property , never stayed in a property so grand , location was exceptional and the host was amazing - The location and quality of the rooms and the host was exceptional Nothing
- Maria Angels (10/5): Autenticitat i amabilitat al cor de Lecce - Un lloc amb encant. Conservació de l’ambient clàssic però a la vegada molt comfortable. Preciós
En Nikos, una persona excepcionalment atenta i amable. Disposat ajudar en tot (fins i tot amb l’aparcament del cotxe dins de l’establiment)
- Dr. Werner (10/5): Eine fasziniert schöne Unterkunft, wie zu Hause bei Freunden - Der Aufenthalt in dem historischen Haus von etwa 1800 mit den vielen wunderbar bemalten Zimmerdecken und dem originalen Interieur war einfach nur fabelhaft. Obwohl wir eine ganze Woche dort wohnten, fiel es uns sehr schwer, wieder nach Hause aufzubrechen. Unser sehr verehrter und liebenswerter Gastgeber Nicos half uns von der ersten Stunde an sehr zuvorkommend. In allen Fragen und sprachlichen Problemen fand er schnell Lösungen. Außerdem gab er uns wertvollen Tipps, welche Strände in der Umgebung wie Gallipoli besonders reizend sind, welche Städte wie Ostuni sehenswert sind und welche einmaligen Ort und insbesondere Kirchen in Lecce nicht ungesehen bleiben dürfen.
Eine außerordentlich schöne Woche, die wir nicht vergessen werden und uns animiert, auf alle Fälle noch einmal dorthin zu reisen. Da gibt es nichts auszusetzen!
- Petra (10/5): - Wir hatten einen wirklich außergewöhnlich schönen Aufenthalt in den Historical Suites VVM. Die einzigartige historische Ausstattung der Unterkunft ist auf den vielen Fotos ersichtlich. Was uns jedoch am meisten beeindruckt hat, war Nikos, der Besitzer der Unterkunft. Mit seiner ausgesprochen freundlichen Art erklärte er uns alles, was wir für unseren Aufenthalt in seiner wunderschönen Stadt Lecce wissen sollten, und machte Lust auf die vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Besonders freuten wir uns über das gute Frühstück, das von ihm persönlich begleitet wurde. Stets war er für gute Tipps und nette Gespräche da. Danke, Nikos, wir kommen wieder!
- Ron J (10/5): Perfect stay & location - Very delicious Italian style breakfast with homemade pastries and such a nice room. Nicos is a really great person who gave fantastic dinner suggestions and excellent customer service.
We were able to arrange a tour from Nicos assistance that is probably one of the best ones we’ve ever had
Location is right in the middle of everything in the historic center!
- Edna (10/5): - The whole experience staying at this B&B was wonderful from start to finish. Nikos was incredibly helpful and attentive. The rooms were amazing and located right in the middle of the old town. Many fantastic restaurants within steps. You will not be disappointed!
- Stan (10/5): Super vriendelijke host op een top locatie. - Nikos was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij maakte heerlijk ontbijt voor ons. De locatie is super en gelegenheid tot parkeren binnen het verblijf. Een goede ervaring!
- Kingsley (10/5): Brilliant location, fabulous room and extraordinary host. - The place is beautiful, in a historical building like an Italian palace. High ceilings and extraordinary furniture. Nikos is an excellent host, The checkin felt like you are sitting with an old friend and chatting. Everyday Nikos made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to make our stay in Lecce special. The breakfast is so generous. Words could not describe how special this place is. The location could not be better as it is in the heart of the centre. Truly a gem.
Thankyou Nikos!!!!!!! I am trying very hard to find something but cannot. Everything was just BRILLIANT.
- Mariana (10/5): Excelente - Todo excelente ! La amabilidad del anfitrión .
