Guest Reviews
- Anne-Marie (10/5): Geweldige B&B - De service van de gastvrouw Simona is echt geweldig, de locatie is fantastisch in het oude centrum en het we hebben genoten van het mooie dakterras! Niets
- marie-josee (10/5): Merci Simona, notre séjour chez vous a été parfait - J’ai tout aimé, l’accueil de Simona, le petit-déjeuner, la terrace pour prendre le petit déjeuner et l’apéro, l’espace, les pâtisseries locales offertes par Simona. Ne manquez pas la chance d’y séjourner Rien
- Jean (9/5): Un séjour au coeur de Lecce chez Simona - Simona nous a accueillis très chaleureusement en nous fournissant toutes les explications utiles au séjour. Le frigo était plein pour le petit déjeûner, elle a avait confectionné une torta (délicieuse) et a toujours été extrêmement disponible tout au long du séjour. Elle nous a renseigné la boulangerie El Fornaio (pastichetto leccese délicieux), le marché et la poissonerie. Elle a organisé une visite de Lecce avec une guide française qu'elle connaissait. L'appartement est très bien situé, en plein centre historique, ce qui permet de revenir très facilement en cours de journée, et son atout principal, c'est sa terrasse sur le toit où il est possible de prendre les repas et de se prélasser (attention l'escalier est fort raide !). Séjour très chouette et superbe rencontre avec Simona.
- JivagoL (10/5): - Foi tudo perfeito, fomos recebidos pela Simona, uma verdadeira Italiana que sabe como ser hospitaleira. O café da manhã é fantástico, fomos embora com vontade de ficar. Recomendo a todos.
- Arthur (10/5): - La terrazza magnifica, la posizione a due passi dai monumenti principali, l'appartamento con tutto il necessario e di più, e la straordinaria accoglienza di Simona
- cyrille (9/5): Accueil TOP - L’emplacement, la propreté et l’accueil. Proximité de bar, musique jusqu’à 2h du matin
- Valérie (10/5): - Tout, l'accueil de Simona, les petits attentions, tous les produits à disposition pour le petit déjeuner. Super terrasse en rooftop. Logement très spacieux et très bien équipé. Emplacement plein centre. Rien
- Majid (10/5): Simona est une hôte exceptionnelle et remarquable. D’une très grande générosité et disponibilité - Exceptionnel, en plein centre historique et avec une vue du Rooftop à couper le souffle. Rien
- Debbie Roos (10/5): - We hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad bij Simona. Ze is ontzettend vriendelijk en reageert snel. Ze heeft ons zelfs opgehaald van een parkeerplek waar we in overleg onze auto betaald konden parkeren, wat erg prettig was.
De B&B ligt midden in het historische centrum, wat een enorme plus is. Wat een leuke restaurantjes allemaal. We hebben heerlijk gegeten.
Wat betreft de B&B: De matrassen slapen uitzonderlijk goed – iets wat wij als frequente reizigers zelden meemaken.
Het huis is ook perfect om je even terug te trekken. Helaas hadden wij een paar dagen regen, maar daardoor hebben we heerlijk ontspannen binnen gezeten en filmpjes gekeken.
Simona heeft ons goed verzorgd met lekkernijen en we komen hier zeker terug! Niets
- sandra (10/5): Geweldig 10/10 - Soms kom je op plekken waar de service goed is, maar dit overtrof werkelijk álles. De B&B was van alle gemakken voorzien: een volledig ingerichte koelkast, verzorgingsproducten, een complete keuken en een warme, gezellige sfeer. Als welkom stonden er ook nog een heerlijke taart en snacks voor ons klaar. We vielen van de ene verrassing in de andere.
’s Ochtends hing er vers brood aan de deur en bij elke vraag werd er direct en met zoveel vriendelijkheid geholpen door de eigenaresse. Bij ons vertrek nam ze zelfs de tijd om afscheid te nemen met een heerlijke lokale taart en een knuffel, zoveel warmte en oprechtheid kom je zelden tegen.
We reizen veel, heel veel zelfs, maar dit hebben we nog nooit zo ervaren. Los van de geweldige gastvrijheid was het appartement ook gewoon perfect: midden in het centrum, fijne bedden en brandschoon. Een absolute aanrader en een plek die ons bij zal blijven. Niets
- Aad (10/5): -
- Lorenzo (8/5): -
- François (10/5): Particularly pleasant - Breakfast was super!
- hiroko (9/5): 料理好きにピッタリ - 必要な食器、キッチン用品、調味料はほぼ完璧にそろっている。
ベッドルームは十分な広さがある。
持ち主のシモーナは快活で時間厳守ですばらしい人だった。
彼女の作ったケーキもすばらしかった。 シャワールームにドアもカーテンもないのでシャワールームの入り口付近の床が濡れて危険。
電子レンジを置いてほしかった。
- Yves Nicole (10/5): - Chez Simona, on se sentait comme à la maison! Tout y était, à notre disposition. Il y a amplement de choses pour se préparer un bon petit déjeuner et en plus, on a eu droit à une tarte qu'elle nous laissée dès notre arrivée. Si vous voulez y passer un séjour en couple ou en famille, c'est parfait! Il y a une grande terrasse parfaite pour le petit déjeuner et les 5 à 7. Il s'agit d'avantage d'une question de bien être que de luxe. Le logement est grand et bien équipé. Simona est toujours disponible en répondant rapidement à toutes nos questions et nous a donné toutes les informations dont nous avions besoin. Elle nous a rendu visite le matin sur la terrasse avec de petits gâteaux directement sortis du four, on se croirait littéralement en famille! Emplacement incroyable, près de tout! On a adoré et on va certainement le recommander! Nous sommes restés 3 nuits et les 2 nuits de fin de semaine étaient un peu bruyantes, mais il faut s'y attendre quand on veut être au centre de tout!
- Monika (10/5): - Die Lage könnte nicht besser sein, direkt in der Altstadt, zu Fuß sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten erreichbar, in der Unterkunft hatten wir außerdem eine Küche und eine Riesen Dachterrasse dabei. Simona hat uns mit Kuchen empfangen und uns zum Abschied Süßes aus der Bäckerei mitgegeben. Das Frühstücksangebot war vielfältig.
Simona hat uns auf Wunsch einen kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz in der Nähe organisiert. Es hätte jedoch öffentliche gratis Parkplätze gegeben, da wir Ende Oktober da waren.
- Denise (10/5): A great place. If you go to Lecce stay here! It can’t be beat! - The location was amazing. A few minutes walk from the train station & located right in the Centro Storico in the heart of it all. Simona our host was unbelievable! The entire unit was stocked and we didn’t need a thing! Above & beyond!!! Nothing! It was great!
- Tracey (10/5): Simona is an amazing host! - The location, the terrace, the facilities.
- Serge (10/5): -
- Colleen (10/5): Wonderful! - So many positive reviews of Simona’s little apartment b&b, what more can I say? It’s right in the middle of the Centro Storico of wonderful Lecce, surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants. The accommodation is super comfortable and Simona has really put her heart and soul into providing a great place to stay. Nothing
- Gillian (10/5): Excellent location & breakfast, clean, spacious and comfortable apartment with a pretty roof garden - The breakfast was exceptional: there was food for cooked and continental breakfast plus fruit, juices, tea, coffee, and even a home made jam tart. The location was in a converted period house in the old town of Bari.
- L (10/5): - Great host! Made some lovely treats for us and provided everything we needed. Location is great too and if you need private parking there is an option available for 15,- a night.
- Liz (10/5): Amazing host. Great location - Simona, excellent host. We arrived to a fresh fruit tart. And all that you would need for breakfast and more.
Fantastic host. And we got a special delivery of pastries also Nothing
- Reinhold (10/5): Great place and great old town location. The owner was fabulous and even prepared home made baking - The owner was outstanding. She made sure that we were well taken care of. She even escorted us to our private parking a few blocks away. The room was more then well stocked with food and drinks. There was air conditioning and we had a private roof top patio
- Joe (10/5): Perfect stay, perfect host - Everything was perfect! You couldn’t wish for a better location and the rooftop deck is a huge bonus. But most importantly Simona the host goes so above and beyond. Nothing
- Jay (10/5): This B&B is what every B&B should try to be. The hostess was absolutely AMAZING!!! - Everything was outstanding. Best B&B I have ever stayed at Nothing
- Sigrid (10/5): Perfekter Urlaub in Lecce - Tolle Unterkunft, wunderschöne Dachterrasse, die ich morgens und abends sehr genossen habe, extrem fürsorgliche und sympathische Gastgeberin, perfekte Lage. Grazie di tutto, Simona. Ritornerò! Nichts. Die Parkplatz-Situation in Lecce ist mühsam, aber dafür kann die Unterkunft nichts.
- Stéphane (10/5): Magnifique séjour avec un roof top très agréable pour les petits déjeuners ou apéros avec vue sur le - Hôte très sympathique et attentionnée nous demandant régulièrement s’il nous manquait quelque chose. Plusieurs matins elle nous a laissé des spécialités des Pouilles devant la porte.
- Maria (10/5): Apartamento muy bien situado con estupenda terraza. - La preciosa terraza amueblada y con vistas, pero sobre todo el trato de la propietaria. Simona es una anfitriona estupenda, que estuvo siempre pendiente de cualquier cosa que necesitáramos. Hay de todo para desayunar, hasta una tarta casera, y van reponiendo lo que se va terminando sin tener que decirlo. En el baño también hay de todo, incluso pantuflas y bata. Las escaleras para subir a la terraza son muy empinadas y también hay un par de tramos hasta la puerta de entrada. No hay microondas ni lavavajillas.
- simon (10/5): Perfect stay in Lecce with a superb host. - Everything !! The location is wonderful. The bedding is super comfortable. Simona’s apartment spotlessly clean, is well equipped with everything you could need & Simona is such a gracious host. A genuinely lovely person who went out of her way to make our stay perfect !
Grazie Mille Simona There is nothing to dislike.
- ricardo (10/5): Increible alojamiento, insuperable ubicacion en Lecce. - Simona fue una excelente anfitriona. Nos espero a la llegada para mostrarnos el alojamiento, recomendarnos restaurants y recibirnos con una torta hecha por ella.
Todo el tiempo estuvo atenta a nuestras necesidades y nos recomendo una guia de turismo local en español que no pudimos conseguir por nuestros medios.
El dia de la partida nos trajo unos pasticciolli riquisimos recien hechos para el desayuno y se presento a despedirse.
Definitivamente volveriamos.
- Andrea (10/5): Perfect host in a perfect location - Antonia was the best host you could wish for. She had gone above and beyond to ensure we had everything. The apartment was in a great location within the old town walls. It had a fully equipped kitchen and washing machine and a lovely roof terrace.
Lots of food was left for us for breakfast and a lovely pie.
There are steps apartment was very clean and comfortable. There are steps to get into the apartment and awkward steps to get to the roof - just something to be aware of.
There was a bit of noise at night from the bar but just slight,
- Mohammed (10/5): Wonderful hostee and beautiful Lecce - First of all, thanks to Simona , she made me stay memorable. she showed me the palace next to unit and took me to the station.
Second , the unit has every appliances you think about , great location and amazing terrace.
Finally , I strongly recommend the property and definitely will comeback.
Again Thank you Simona for everything especially the dessert you made it was yummy Everything was great
- Tracy (10/5): One of the best places to stay- excellent host. - Location fabulous- very central.
Breakfast and more- Simona even made a cake and brought in local pastries for us to try.
Apartment had everything and more.
Superb! Nothing.
- Sal (10/5): Simona was a great host,she couldn’t do enough for you the B&B was well stocked, had a full kitchen and washing mach - Excellent location in old town There was nothing not to like
- Patrice (10/5): The best most welcoming host - super comfortable and charming apartment right in old town - Very central in old town- extremely comfortable and the host could not have been better - she went above and beyond for us !! She welcomed us with snacks and home cooked pie - I have never stayed in a place with so many extra amenities! Loved it all
- Hock (10/5): 10/10 place with a fabulous host - An incredibly hospitable & considerate host, Simona. Her passion for taking care of her guests was reflected in the way the apartment had been prepared our 2N stay. Everything that we needed were there..., and so much more. We had a tray full of freshed baked pasticcitto waiting for our arrival.
We wish we had planned to stay longer.. Nothing, we had a lovely & enjoyable stay.
- Mary (10/5): We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommendation stay here! - The location of the property was perfect, within easy walking distance of the train station and the old town sights, sops and restaurants.The apartment was spacious, very comfortable and spotlessly clean- with a change of bed linen and towels mid-stay. The roof top terrace was a real bonus - a magical place to relax and watch the acrobatics of the swifts. Our host Simona took every care to make our stay as pleasant as possible - providing a variety of toiletries in the bathroom and everything we could possibly need for breakfasts in the fully stocked fridge and larder. On top of this we were greeted with a delicious home- made tart and other local breakfast treats arriving throughout our stay and a personal and very interesting guided tour. Communication was very straightforward and efficient and Simona helped us with suggestions for places to visit using local trains and buses. Nothing
- John (10/5): Both the apartment and our hostess made this one of the most enjoyable stays we've ever had anywhere - The attentiveness of our hostess along with the size and appointments of our apartment can't think of anything
- Nils (10/5): Wonderful location and amazing host - Simona was so kind and helpful, she helped us with parking and gave other great recommendations. Unfortunately, my husband was unwell while we were there and she was so kind and helpful. The rooftop terrace is lovely. There was a wonderful selection for breakfast and Simona also did delicious home baking for us. The apartment is right in the old town, very easy to wander everywhere and see things. As we are travelling for several weeks, it was great to also have the use of a washing machine.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - A lovely apartment in a lovely city, and Simona was the kindest host we could imagine! Lots of different things were left for our breakfast, including some amazing fresh pastries. The only point to bear in mind is that the stairs up to the roof terrace are very steep so it's hard to carry things like food and drink up. The view is well worth it though!
- Anna (10/5): True hospitality! - The apartment is in a great location in the historic center of Lecce. We were welcomed with fresh pasticciotti by Simona. The apartment was fully stocked with many breakfast options. There were also many useful items in the bathroom (shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc) as well as useful guide books and recommendations in the area. The terrace is up a short set of steep stairs but absolutely worth the climb. Simona is a wonderful host! She brought us more fresh pastries as we were checking out, and she took us on a wonderful walk through Lecce to share some stories, history and folklore. She really made us feel welcome in her city!
- Pasquale (9/5): It was a beautiful stay and any deficiencies were far exceeded by the generosity of the host! - The host was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. The apartment was very comfortable for sleeping and eating and the rooftop terrace was outstanding. Additionally, the location of the apartment within the historic center was excellent. The bathroom was a little tight to move within and there is a little tile work needed at the shower, though not a major problem. There is no sitting or living room, except for a couch in the kitchen area. Also, beware that there is a flight of exterior steps to enter the apartment from the street as well as very steep steps within the apartment to access the roof terrace.
- Elaine (10/5): Lovely apartment and delightful host! - Simona is the most wonderful host and her apartment has everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable bed, gorgeous rooftop terrace and a wonderful selection of delicious goodies for breakfast. We also took Simona on her offer of a tour of Lecce which was really interesting and insightful. The apartment is an easy 10 minutes walk from the station and all the wonderful sights of Lecce are also just a few minutes away.
- Gabrielle (10/5): Delightful stay in beautiful Lecce - We loved the location and everything about the accomodation it was clean comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for a short break in Lecce. Simona was just delightful . nothing
- Brian (10/5): Excellent - The apartment is in an ideal location to visit Lecce. Our host, Simona was excellent, with advice on restaurants and places to visit during our stay. There was a wonderful tart awaiting us on our arrival and other treats during our stay. Everything one could need during your stay was available in the apartment. No issue was a problem and we will definitely visit Lecce again and stay here. We will be recommending it to family and friends. Nothing
- Daniel (8/5): Simon’s was delightful and provided everything one needs and then some. Baked a crostata for us and brought us fresh bak - Location, location location Parking was challenging to say the least
- Jamie (10/5): Ideal - Everything, particularly being personally met by the hostess, who had even baked us a cake and let us check in early. Plus the location is ideal and the property lacks for nothing. Nothing
- Robert (10/5): Simona is an amazing host at wonderful property - Simona if an amazing host going the extra mile to make it a memorable stay. Perfect location and fabulous terrace. Home cooked cakes in addition to a wealth of other food and drink options. Definitely recommend. Nothing.
- Clare.b (10/5): Fantastic place to see Lecce - Everything about this stay was lovely, the bed was super comfy, the terrace amazing (like other reviewers have said the steps are steep and narrow to get to it) but it's so lovely to have morning coffee or evening drinks up there. The location of the apartment is perfect for the historic centre. The kitchen is small but very well equipped, there is absolutely everything you could need and more! So many toiletries were also provided with lovely soft towels, robe and slippers.
Simona herself was the most wonderful host and gives a lot of care and attention to detail into everything. The breakfast provisions were amazing, we couldn't eat even half of what was provided! Simona also left fresh cake on arrival and the morning of our departure left us an amazing Lecce sweet - which was so delicious!
We also enjoyed a tour of the city that Simona offered and this gave us an appreciation for some of the finer details you miss or don't know when walking around. Nothing, it was all wonderful :)
- Jane (10/5): Simon’s was a wonderful host. She was kind, attentive and welcoming. She left us with fresh fruit, a homemade tart, lots - Location, comfort, air con and everything else that we could possibly need Nothing
- Gordon (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, our host was so helpful. - Breakfast was very good. We enjoyed the entire experience at this location. Our host was incredibly helpful and we would have no hesitation in returning. Nothing. Everything was very good.
- Contaxis (10/5): The highlight was Simona’s hospitality. - The location was excellent. The rooftop amazing. 2 spacious bedrooms. The place was super clean. Simona spoiled us with breakfast, delicious pastries, so much food supples in the fridge and cupboards, couldn’t eat it all. Simona took us on a city tour which was so informative, Simona picked us up from the train station on arrival and dropped us off again at departure. She went above and beyond. Nothing
- Aline (8/5): Good central location to stay - My husband and I stayed here for three nights as a base to explore the Salento coast. It was in a great, central location to explore the city of Lecce. We were able to find the apartment easily where we were met by the owner & shown around. The apartment sleeps up to four, but felt spacious with it only being my husband and I travelling. Breakfast was provided in the apartment and was plentiful with bread, cheese, ham, eggs, cereals, pastries, jams, juice and milk. There was a lovely rooftop terrace to sit and enjoy breakfast and a glass of wine in the evenings. It was also handy to have a washing machine to use. Whilst this is not a criticism of the property it is worth noting two things. Parking in Lecce is difficult. The owner did message with details of parking. If you want a secure garage the owner has to book it for you. Otherwise there are designated places on the street on the outskirts of the city which are pay and display. There is an app you can use to pay but we could not get this to work on our phones so had to make sure we had enough change on us to keep paying for the tickets. It is €0.60 per hour, between the hours of 9am and 9pm. Second, the steps up to the roof terrace in the apartment are not for anyone with mobility issues. They are extremely steep. Again, not a criticism but people need to be aware of this before they book.
- Joy (10/5): Hospitality at its best! - Simona was the perfect hostess! She greeted us warmly and helped us to carry our luggage up the one flight of stairs to the apartment. She even took us on a walking tour of Lecce to point out the major sights and to top it off she drove us to the train station on our departure.
The quaint centrally located spotless two bedroom apartment in the ancient city is only a 10 minute walk from the train station and near lots of bars and restaurants. Upon our arrival, the fridge and the pantry were well stocked with a delicious selection of fresh food including eggs, deli meats, fruit, cheese, yoghurts, bread, milk, butter, jam, cereal, juice, water, coffee and a wide selection of snacks. Simona even treated us to delicious fresh treats from the bakery!
Much thought and effort has gone into offering almost everything you could possibly want… items that no other apartment has offered… eg hair straightener, hair styling products, nail polish remover and almost every product a woman (or man) would want. We have never experienced an apartment more well stocked with almost everything you could imagine.
The huge rooftop terrace was definitely a steep walk up an unusual staircase, but it was a relaxing place to hang out and worth the climb! We washed our clothes and dried them on the drying rack in the sun in one afternoon. Wifi worked very well.
Our four night stay was over a holiday weekend and a bar below was full of young people partying until the early hours of the morning. With all the steps we did each day we had no trouble sleeping. Simona made our stay in Lecce a memorable one and we thank her for her heartfelt hospitality. We would return in a heartbeat! Nothing.
- Allan (9/5): Charming old world apartment in the city center with all the products, supplies and a refrigerator full of food! - The location is perfect for exploring all of the center of Lecce and the host, Simona, supplied the apartment with absolutely everything you could need and then some! The treats kept on coming through our stay and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Makes you want to stay in bed all day but don’t because you would miss the beautiful sights in town. Nothing.
- Glenn (10/5): Excellent , would definitely return , thank you Simona - Great host, great location, beautiful property and everything you could need . Nice roof terrace. Facilities to cook and eat on the terrace if you wish ( we did one night ) everything within easy distance to enjoy all Lecce has to offer
- Beverly (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location in the old town; amazing breakfast all supplied plus fresh pastries dropped off by host(how good is that); lots of shower etc supplies; very kind and provided a personal tour of highlights of Lecce; Nothing.
- John (9/5): Great place to stay and enjoy Lecce and surrounding areas. - Great location within historic area, 10 minutes easy walk from railway station. Spacious adjoining rooms on 1st floor with private access via external stairs. Fabulous private roof terrace with seats and pot plants, access via steep stairs. Well equipped kitchen / dining area with sofa, coffee machine, etc. Great communications with owner via What’s App. Owner is very friendly, attentive and helpful and knows how to run a B&B to a high standard. Large home made jam tart and plenty of nutritious food, fruit, etc, for breakfast. We stayed for 3 nights including day trips to Gallipoli and Otranto, each 35 minutes away by taxi. Nothing.
- Suzanne (10/5): Simona was kind and helpful. Left us more food than we could eat and brought home made pastries for breakfast, juice an - Beautiful setting in a courtyard, spacious apartment, well appointed kitchen, very comfortable bed. Nothing
- Dorothy (10/5): Fabulous apartment with roof terrace, wonderful breakfast and service from a delightful lady host! - Simona met us from the taxi (who she had also arranged for us). She gave us the keys and a tour of the apartment. The breakfast options were phenomenal. Various pastries, fruit, yoghurt, cold meats, cheeses, soft drinks and water all supplied. Simona kindly delivered fresh pastries every day as well! She is just the most amazing host! We went on a short tour where she pointed out various sites that you'd not see on the tourist trail and told us the local legends of Lecce. The roof terrace was the reason I chose the apartment. It was wonderful sitting there at night with the view of the campanile. I asked Simona if she could recommend a wine tour, which she kindly did for us too! Nothing!
- Linda (10/5): Our stay at Simona's B&B was utterly fantastic. This is one of the best properties I have stayed in - The location of this apartment is ideal, it is in the heart of the old town, but in a courtyard that is very private. The facilities in the apartment are excellent, and everything you need is provided. It is super clean, we were there for 11 nights, and it was cleaned several times, and all linens and towels changed.
Breakfast was stunning. Simona baked beautiful cakes for us, and left them in the apartment. The fridge was filled with fresh fruit, more pastries, meats and cheeses, a huge selection of yogurts and dairy. Still and sparkling waters and a selection of other soft drinks and juices were provided also. Everything you could possibly need was there. It was excellent.
Simona was on site to greet us when we arrived, and show us around the property and all the facilities. She is super friendly and helpful, and helped organise some local trips and travel for us.
The roof terrace at the property is amazing, and a wonderful place to sit in the evening and take in the atmosphere of the old town.
- Cristoforo (9/5): Superb - the place is strategically located; marvelous rooftop; extra-helpful host
- Anne (10/5): Fabulous - Simona was an incredibly wonderful host and stocked the apartment with everything you could possibly imagine needing, and more. The B&B is also perfectly situated in the charming historic center of Lecce, as well as a short walk to the train station and everything else you might be looking for. Simona is such a lovely person and we would recommend B&B Corte dell’Idume to all of our friends and family and anyone else visiting the beautiful city of Lecce!
- Mary (9/5): Lovely Lecce - Simona is a friendly and charming host who very kindly collected us from the train station. This was very much appreciated as was the huge selection of provisions in the kitchen with even a home-made cake provided. The apartment is comfortable and homely and is in a great location for enjoying the many bars and restaurants. Lecce is a truly lovely town with beautiful buildings around every corner and Simona kindly gave us a tour of her own favourites which added to our appreciation. In these lovely old buildings access to roof terraces for the views requires ingenuity and as has been said the stairs here are, of necessity, steep and narrow.
- Sue (10/5): The host was so kind and helpful, she made our stay perfect - Great location, lovely host who provided cakes for breakfast and stocked the fridge with food and drink. She advised us on places to eat and took us on a tour of the city. It was all great.
- David (10/5): Perfect location! Exceptional accommodation! We have stayed in a myriad of B&Bs in a multitude of locales throughou - Everything! Nothing!
- Majida (10/5): Love this place!! - This place is sooo amazing!!!! Simona went above and beyond. Our train was delayed and she waited up for us to pick us up and bring us to the B&B. She was super helpful and available for all of our questions. We appreciated her sooo much:) Would definetly recommend it to everyone! It is in a perfect location as well.
- Jude (9/5): Superb -
