Palazzo Marini B&B di Charme

Thought it was in a great location. The historic center is so neat, especially at night. Breakfast was yummy for sure. Too bad it wasn't on the top of the bulding, as that is a big reason I booked this place. The bathroom windonw did not close. It was HOT, even w/ the a/c trying to work. Room was smaller than I thought it was going to be but very clean, modern. The bathroom was great. Little bugs/mosquitos came in through the open windonw. Otherwise good place. They did set up a food reservation and car in the morning for us. Stayed 2 nights.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in Lecce in the Suite Barocca. The location is excellent, in an old building but with modern conveniences. It was definitely worth the slight additional cost for the Suite Barocca that included a separate room with a sofa. The included breakfast was outstanding. We did not get to use or see the terrace because it was still winter. Lecce is a beautiful city and we happy to relax and spend a few nights there.

We had the pleasure of spending four nights at Palazzo Marini! A warm thanks to the entire staff who made our stay so pleasurable! Ilaria was there to welcome us and was available throughout our stay to provide whatever assistance we needed. Thank you! We stayed in the Suite Barocca - a spacious, clean, modern suite of two rooms with sliding pocket doors to create privacy if needed. Each space in the suite had its’ own balcony. The comfortable bed and linens, along with ample draperies afforded a wonderful night’s sleep. Set on a quiet, small piazza in a limited traffic zone in the Centro Storico, the rooms were very quiet both day and night. The breakfast served on the spectacular rooftop deck was the best we had on our twelve day trip through Puglia. Sweet and savory options of meats, cheeses, cornetti, cappuccino and espresso as well as juices were a delight each morning made even more enjoyable by Emanuela, our hostess. She was a joy to greet each morning! Don’t miss having a pasticciotto made fresh in-house daily - the best in Lecce and I tried many! The picture gallery provided on the website is a true representation of the accommodations. In fact, I think it was even prettier in person! Lecce is a vibrant, lively, magical city and Palazzo Marini’s location was perfect for exploring. The Doumo is an easy and pleasurable five minute walk along quaint lanes. We also explored Taranto and Gallipoli, walking just ten minutes to the train station. Palazzo Marini makes visiting Lecce and the surrounding towns easily accessible even for travelers without cars. I highly recommend staying at Palazzo Marini and visiting Lecce! Can’t wait to return!

Nice place with friendly people. Good breakfast. The terrace is very nice. Good rooms with easy access. Take care about parking. Many controls and fines. Airco is maybe a little beat noisy in the rooms but acceptable.
