Guest Reviews
- Ismael (8/5): Over all value for the money for a short stay - The lovely gardens surrounding the property We where two couples and i hated havibg to pass on the other couple during the night for the bathroom, also at night had just lukewarm water to shower and one of the beds was a sofa bed which was not too comfortable
- Edoardo (10/5): -
- Marozzi (10/5): - Noi abbiamo soggiornato nell'appartamentino più piccolo, perfetto per due persone, vicino alla piscina. Immerso in una proprietà immensa ed estremamente affascinante. Anche la piscina, seppur non riscaldata, era chiusa e perfettamente utilizzabile in questo periodo. Abbiamo amato anche l'accoglienza accompagnata dai 3 cagnoloni estremamente amichevoli
- Olguin (10/5): - Mi estadía fue en la dependance que se encuentra al lado de la pileta. La estructura es maravillosa, te da mucha paz ya que está rodeada de naturaleza.
La estructura estaba limpia, muy bien organizada y equipada con todas las comodidades.
El jardín maravilloso.
Fui recibida por un personal amable y muy servicial. Una estadía corta per muy valiosa. Sin dudas regresaré.
- Matteo (5/5): -
- Katherine (9/5): Beautiful relaxing stay in an elegant orchard setting. - A very peaceful and green spot for ultimate relaxation. I loved the orange trees and the birdsong. Visits from the dogs were also really nice. the supermarket was right next door. It would be ideal for a summer stay but in winter it is a little dark.
- erminia (10/5): Ho soggiornato nella depandance vicino alla piscina. La struttura è fantastica immersa nel verde. - La stanza pulita e curata, dotata di tutti i comfort necessari. Sono stata accolta dallo staff cordiale e molto disponibile. Il giardino è curato nei minimi dettagli.
- Danks (5/5): Very misleading - The staff were friendly and helpful The bedbugs were the final disaster after having been very misled by the image of the villa. This is not where we stayed.
- Jaime (9/5): -
- AntonellaBon (9/5): Consigliatissimo - Struttura meravigliosa dove è possibile godere della bellezza del giardino privato e della grande piscina. Posizione molto comoda sia per raggiungere Lecce che entrambe le coste, Adriatica e Ionica.
Personale gentile e competente, sempre molto disponibile! Si potrebbe migliorare la pulizia e l'ordine degli spazi intorno alla piscina e la manutenzione di alcune parti della Casetta
- György (9/5): -
- THIERRY (6/5): Un charme fou mais à remettre aux normes - Le charme de l’Italie a l’ancienne dans une magnifique demeure au milieu d’un parc immense luxuriant doté d’une très belle piscine. Les installations demeurent tout de même vétustes ( électricité, cuisine). La literie n’est pas digne d’une telle demeure . Seul le salon de la villa était équipé de la climatisation contrairement à ce qui était indiqué sur l’annonce .
- Sébastien (7/5): Lecce est magnifique et la piscine est immense. - La piscine!
Immense et géniale pour les enfants.
Proximité du centre de Lecce qui est magnifique! Le fait que lors de la réservation nous soyons un peu trompé sur la maison que nous aurons. Les images sont magnifiques sur l’habitation principale, et finalement comme nous sommes 4 nous finissons dans une dépendance…disons moins charmante. Mais c’est je pense de ma faute car je n’ai pas été assez attentif à cela.
Autre gros point noir pour moi, c’est la situation entre l’autoroute et le super marché. Le charme de la demeure prend tout de même un petit coup.
Là encore c’est de ma faute car sur le plan il y a clairement l’autoroute! Et pour moi qui aime prendre mon petit déjeuner au calme sur la terrasse, ou dîner le soir…c’était impossible.
- rodolphe (8/5): - La piscine est très agréable, grande et propre!
- Celine (10/5): - La gentillesse du personnel, les fruits frais et la piscine L'équipement de cuisine, un peu rudimentaire
- Sabino (10/5): Soggiorno super consigliato !! - Bellissimo palazzo d'epoca per trascorrere momenti di relax in famiglia , circondato da un immenso giardino dove è possibile farsi delle passeggiate piacevoli con i bambini !! L'unica cosa da rivedere sono reti e materassi
- Lesley (8/5): Very good -
- Pia (10/5): This is a place that is worth a detour. So beautiful and historic. I can warmly recommend this - A beautiful estate with pool and a beautiful apartment. Clean and comfortable. The host was very helpful and friendly. I would love to go back
Food store and bus to town closed by.
- Louiza (7/5): An enjoyable stay and good value for money - We stayed in the double bedroom which had a practical kitchen with a dining table attached. The room was cute and the pool was right outside. The pool itself was great, big enough to do a few laps and spend some time cooling down. There are 2 dogs at the property, at first we were a bit cautious about them but they were really friendly. Lovely garden around the property with fruit growing. Host was very responsive, lost power in the morning and it was quickly sorted. The shower was tiny, and some homely touches in the kitchen and hallway would have been appreciated. The bed was also a bit hard. However all okay for the price.
- Frances (9/5): Absolutely loved our stay here! Will surely be back! Amazing home! - Loved the fact that the hosts were present and living on the property. We felt welcome into their home and it did not feel that it was just about the business aspect of renting out their home. We felt that they actually cared about how we enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The showers could use some updating but were fine nevertheless.
- Silvana (9/5): Comfortable beds, great aircon, 5 mins to Lecce city, big pool. - Comfortable beds (I loved sleeping here), cool aircon, all kitchen facilities (gas stove, microwave, fridge, chopping block, scissors, knives, pots, pans, dishes, cooking utensils , bottle opener, dishcloths) washing machine, massive pool can be used at all times. Giorgia our host was kind and attentive and organized for our key collection as we had a late 1030pm arrival from Brindisi airport (27 minutes away). The bedrooms were dark and cool and our bed was so comfortable. There were lovely hammocks in the wonderful garden (wear mosquito repellent at night) as we listened to the thousands of overhead birds in the evening. The excellent Conad supermarket was literally via a secret door to the side of the villa (7 metres away), which was soooo handy for all our supplies. The property is secure and gated so we felt really safe here. Lecce city (visit at night in August as it's so hot) was a 5 minute drive away (but beware difficult to find parking at night). We were about 35 minutes to Otranto and all the amazing beaches north and south of there. You definitely need a car to explore this area as there are vast, desolate expanses of land in between the towns and beaches. Nothing.
- Michelle (10/5): The best place to Stay in Lecce - We liked everything, we were a Family of 12 and stayed in both Villas. The Villas, the Pool and the Grounds were amazing. Someone was always on hand if we wanted anything. We felt very safe and very comfortable. There was nothing we did not like
- Kevin (5/5): Disappointed with the condition of our rental unit - Very spacious villa grounds with gardens, nice pool and friendly dogs. Our space was private and provided good access to a grocery store and into Lecce. Our hostess was very friendly and was very thorough in showing us around the property as well as providing recommendations during our stay in Lecce. When we needed a clothes iron, it was quickly provided. There are multiple rental units on the property.
Our rental unit’s condition was below expectation. We had a 2 bedroom, one bathroom unit that had a large sitting room and a kitchen which was a building separate from the main building shown in the photograph. The space was a nice size, however was in need of repair and cleaning. The kitchen was dirty, cups were chipped and the kettle had an electrical short. When we arrived there was a strong musty smell in the unit as the Air conditioning had not been turned on. There is only A/C in the sitting room and fans were needed to circulate the air in the bedrooms. This was not very effective and the musty smell still existed, although to a lesser degree, when we left after our stay of 3 nights.
The light in one of the bedrooms was a lightbulb hanging from wires out of the wall and the bathroom, although generally clean, had a tub that was unusably dirty.
A coat of paint, some cleaning and general repair could make this a nice unit.
- Sueralph (10/5): Exceptional - Pool great. Gardens beautiful. Good indoor space. Loved the dogs! Great communication and help from our hosts. Very friendly. Handy supermarket next door. Nothing.
- Roxana (9/5): Superb -
- Annabel (10/5): Wonderful stay close to Lecce - Beautiful house and pool, very spacious and pretty. The hosts were unbelievably helpful and accommodating. 100% recommend. N/A
- Eddy (9/5): Fantastic stay with the family. Very friendly people. Definitely recommend it for a stay in the Lecce area. -
- Leigh (8/5): Very good - I was upgraded to the villa for 2 nights of the 3. The villa was fabulous and would score a 9 at least. The grounds the villa stood in were lovely.
My apartment in the villa grounds on the last night was by the pool, small and poorly furnished. I used some of the poolside furniture to supplement its inadequacies. The wi-fi not working was my biggest issue with the apartment. How ever please be aware the whole property sits by a busy ring road so the noise is always apparent, although interesting at night in the apartment with windows closed you couldn't hear the noise.
- Weimin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (6/5): Could be amazing, but needs modernising - Great pool, large historic house with lots of space, nice grounds to explore Could be an amazing place, but unfortunately really needs new bathrooms, new mattresses and sheets
- Nicola (8/5): A great place to stay if you have a vehicle as it’s a bit out of town, but wonderful hosts. - Host was very friendly, any problems were sorted straight away. The pool was fantastic, surrounds & gardens were beautiful. House probably needed to be aired out prior to arrival. Slightly hard to find using Tomtom navigation but google maps works.
- Siret (10/5): Exceptional - The garden was beautiful.
- Fabio (9/5): Everything was spot on. - Amazing property with fantastic pool. The location is great, just a few km from the center. the place is quiet, with great space to relax and chill. A supermarket is available just around the corner. I liked everything. We just had a little problem with ants, but it’s a country side place, surrounded by gardens, so it’s quite normal.
- Frenk (5/5): Misleading advertising - The pool was right in front of our accomodation. And there was a very very nice friendly dog. Wifi wasn't working so had to use 5G all the time, which costs us extra. The TV wasn't working. They promised somebody would come to fix it, but nobody came. And the pictures you see on booking.com are in the main building, which is not accesable if you gave a room outside the nain building. So I think the advertisement is very misleading.
