we already miss them

the incredible hospitality of Giusy and Gio and their amazing breakfasts

Stayed in July 2025

We hardly ever write reviews. But for the B&B “A casa di Gio” we are happy to make an exception. Giusy and Gio are a fantastic team who will give you a warm welcome and tell you passionately about their city and region. They are passionate about finding the most delicious combinations of regional products. This results in a breakfast that provides a culinary trip with delicious taste variations. We learned all about all kinds of regional vegetables and eating habits. Giusy and Gio's B&B also has neat and tidy rooms and is within walking distance of Lecce. We loved it.

The whole stay was perfect.

As soon as we set foot in A casa di Gio we felt at home. The house is calm and spacious with lovely plants adding to the ambience. The hosts are welcoming, charming and knowledgeable - Giusy planned our whole itinerary and gave us tips for the best restaurants, beaches, churches, sunsets, etc. The breakfast was exceptional and eaten in the charming garden. We opted for Gio's surprise each day, So had whatever was fresh from the nearby farm. We didn't need to eat again until dinner. We can't wait to go back.

Nothing! Everything was great. We were pleasantly surprised.

It’s the first time we stay at a b&b that is actually someone’s home. This is a traditional style home. The room, very good size and CLEAN!!!! The bathroom was also a very good size with the traditional shower/tub. The hosts are phenomenal! Absolutely wonderful people that make you feel like you’re the best of friends! The breakfast is like nothing you will ever have! It blew our minds! I’m celiac and we are very picky eaters. However, the breakfast is nothing short of 6 stars out of 5! Devine!!! Thank you to Giusy and Gio for the most memorable stay ever!

This is a long overdue review for the our stay in June . I have traveled extensively and don’t believe I will ever find a gem like this again . Guisy and Gio are made to entertain, exude warmth and joy! The family feel others talk about is the real deal .

Everything was wonderful. Guisy and Gio are amazing hosts, the room was cozy with a big balcony and private bathroom. And oh my, the breakfast.. this is not just breakfast, its an experiance. They really put their heart and soul in running this b&b. It felt like home and it was a really hard goodbye.

Nothing really although the room's private bathroom was not 'en suite' (dressing gown advised if other guests in residence !)

Exceptionally friendly hostess and host who provided lots of information and made us a great breakfast of local dishes. We parked for free on the street but there was secure parking available on site if required. Twenty minutes level walking into old town (not especially attractive route ! ), Plenty to see in the old city.

Guisy and Gio, the hosts, run their B&B with enthusiasm and heart, which can be seen and felt at every step. They want to offer their guests not only a pleasant stay, but also a wonderful experience, and they succeed perfectly. The rooms and other areas of the B&B are pleasant and nicely furnished, everything is very clean and tidy. Due to its location, it is a good starting point for exploring the city of Lecce (the old town can be reached on foot in 15 minutes) and the Salento peninsula. The possibility of parking in a private yard is a great added value if you are traveling by car. But of everything we experienced during our stay there, we were most impressed by Guisy and Gio, their openness and helpfulness, their concern for the well-being and satisfaction of their guests, and above all, their culinary skills. With their breakfasts, which are actually rich and varied brunches served in a charming garden/terrace, they will (if you let them) take you on a wonderful and unforgettable culinary journey worthy of a great restaurant. They are not only excellent cooks and hosts, they also know Lecce and its surroundings very well. They helped us with restaurant reservations where we could continue exploring the typical cuisine of the area and helped us organize our trips around Salento with many suggestions and tips. We travel regularly and have a lot of experience renting rooms and apartments, so I dare say that staying with Guisy and Gio was an experience that will be hard to beat.

It is a little bit out from the centre, 15 minutes walk from train station but perfect if you are driving.

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful house, with very welcoming hosts who prepared for us a sumptuous breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.

Giusy and Gio were the most welcoming, hospitable, over-performing! hosts we have ever encountered. So much of their love for Salento came through their travel advice, food advice and education, and amazing kindness to us. For breakfast we let them guide us, and we were blown away!!! They prepared a host of local delicacies with such attention and beauty. We never wanted to leave! Their house was at our disposal, and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Giusy may kill me for posting this photo, but we loved them so much!!!

When we arrived, we got a warm welcome. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful and the food that we got cooked by them was excellent. When I come back in this part of Italy, I will choose this stay again!

What a wonderful stay! Giusy's and Gio's focus on the customer's needs is exceptional. They take care of every single detail to make you stay a lovely experience. The house was clean, comfortable with everything handy to use. They provide you with good tips on restaurants, places to visit not only in Lecce but also for the full region. The breakfast was fresh, home made, super good quality ingredients a gourmet experience!

Stayed in July 2023

Location is not the most perfect, but center is at walkable distance and they have a locked yard for your car. Bathroom is outside your room, but not a problem, because its next door to your room and you will be the only using it.

Ha! In this booking you are not booking just a room, you get EXPERIENCE how italians live. It's like a visit to an old friend. If you want to come-sleep-leave, do not choose this room :) Their wonderful breakfast is worth another post! Just dive into adventure with this crazy (in a good way) couple and they will add italian colors and tastes to your trip! Oh, and I loved the smell of towels!

Breakfast was amazing The hosts were amazing Parking was easy

Stayed in June 2023

the only negative was random outside noises which are not possible to avoid when traveling in any city. parking can be a little tricky but there is space inside the entry gate provided someone else isn’t there ahead of you.

the love and care for the guest could not have been more evident! these folks love providing an amazing B&B and ensuring their guest are well feed and given expert guidance on where to go, what to do and what to see!

We specially liked the kind hospitality of both host. It was like visiting old friends. We'd love to come again. And the breakfast - exquisite local treat cooked just for us. Thank you!
