Il Giardino Di Benedetta

Great hospitality. Thank you Piero.

We loved staying here and especially enjoyed the lovely garden, wonderful breakfast, large and modern bathroom, and especially the friendly owner, Piero. He made our stay feel like staying at a friend’s house and made it a highlight of our trip. When traveling in a country where you don’t speak the language, it can often feel like you are an outsider - but here we got a taste of what it would feel like to be part of this community. This place made me sincerely wish we spoke better Italian! The location is also perfect and is like a haven in the middle of a bustling city, in an upscale neighborhood within short walking distance of the city center. We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment, and the city of Lecce, and wish we could have stayed longer. The only concern is the steep and narrow staircase up to the bedroom area. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it might be a problem for others. A relatively minor issue, but something to be aware of!

Our host, Pieto was exceptional! He warmly welcomed us and made excellent recommendations. We tried the Pizzaria, La Perla, and its pizzas were exceptionally good. The property seems well cared for and very close to old town; less than 10 minutes walk. The shower water pressure was the best of all the places we stayed at. Nothing!

It was in a great location. The room was perfect for us and very clean. Breakfast in the garden was so relaxing. The hosts really went above to make our stay wonderful. Nothing

A very nice and kind host, beautiful garden, lovely and chill place to stay in a calm neighborhood but in a walking distance to the historic center (maybe 2-3 min walk). The room was very clean and beautifully decorated "a l'epoque".

Piero is the perfect host, very knowledgeable and helpful. A very good breakfast which unfortunately because of the weather had to be eaten inside. Otherwise you can eat it outside the door to your room in a quiet, secluded garden. You feel privileged to see the inside of a traditional Lecce apartment. A short walk away from the old city and the railway station

A lovely breakfast pastry provided by the owner in the morning. Literally nothing!

Very good

Piero was a very caring host. He allowed us in on our arrival day at 11.30 am, and on our leaving day he drove us to the station. He was attentive and friendly. The room and garden were excellent. it was a 5 minute walk from centre of town.

Great property and very helpful team. Breakfast outside was great relaxing start to the day.

Our stay here was wonderful, the location was great, the breakfast and the room excellent. the host Piero was so helpful and friendly.

Everything, really nice property The bed frame was squeaky but all good

I liked Piero, the host

Great location. Great setting with a lovely garden that could be utilised any time. Host was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Easy access to old town and other facilities.

Superb

Superb

Everything about the stay was wonderful. The property was great, Lecce is magical and Piero, the host was so helpful; nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly recommend to anyone and we would like to think we will return.

Wonderful, helpful, thoughtful host, stunning garden, convenient location, plenty of space for a couple, great value. All was good!

The flat was really clean and there was a place outside to eat in the morning which was very comfortable The flat was just next to city center and there is also parking spots available in the street if needed The owner has been really kind and available which was also a important point for us We would not hesitate to go back here for our next trip in Lecce

Piero was amazing, he helped us with recommendations and making sure everything worked well. Breakfast was amazing with freshly baked goods and super filling. Beware that wifi might not be super reliable, but that’s more of a local infrastructure problem it seems.
