We stayed at Adele e il Duca in mid-June for a short 4-day trip and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect for us. Slightly outside the busy historic center, it offered peace and quiet while still being close enough to reach everything easily. It’s about a 45-minute walk to the city center, which we didn’t mind at all. We do recommend taking the charming backstreets instead of the main road, which is busier and less atmospheric, though still fine. The property’s position near major roads also made it very convenient to explore the wider region by car. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated, with a refined and cozy interior. There was access to a shared garden full of beautiful flowers. Even though it wasn’t private, it still felt peaceful and pleasant, and we barely saw the other guests during our stay. It created a lovely, relaxing atmosphere and you almost forgot you were near a main road. Despite our initial concern about street noise, it was completely quiet inside. The air conditioning worked well. As warm-blooded people we wouldn’t have minded if it had been just a bit stronger, but overall it kept us comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, and the entire space felt welcoming and well maintained. Parking was easy. We always found a spot in a nearby side street without any hassle. Breakfast was simple but just right for us. There was a selection of fruit juices, two croissants, yogurt, cookies and toast with jam or Nutella, and of course coffee. As a lovely gesture, we were treated to a delicious pasticciotto at the end of our stay, which was such a nice surprise and a perfect local touch. Our host Giuseppe was incredibly kind and helpful, always reachable via WhatsApp if we had any questions. He made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, Adele e il Duca is a peaceful, stylish and well-located place to stay. It’s ideal if you want a balance between quiet relaxation and easy access to Lecce and the surrounding area.

The room and bathroom ‘Duca’ was spacious, spotless and beautifully decorated. Parking around the corner and a 5 minute drive to the centre of Lecce. We enjoyed the breakfast which included fresh croissants every morning. Our host Giuseppe provided us with clear check-in instructions, loads of information and tips for exploring Puglia and recommendations for restaurants. We really appreciated the Puglian welcome gift in our room, a bottle of wine and taralli. At breakfast on our last morning we were treated to delicious pasticciotto.

The room was large and spotlessly clean. Giuseppe, our host, was very helpful with information and answering questions. There was on-street parking in the road next to the B&B. It is close to major roads, so was easy to get to and from other towns by car. It’s not the prettiest end of town, but is an easy 2km walk into the historic centre.

The room was perfect: clean, cozy, and spacious. The host is super nice, always available for any requests. Breakfast is good, maybe a little limited, but the host asked for preferences and special requests.

I would have been happier if I had a kind of salty breakfast choice as well.

I liked the room, the building area, and the secured place at all, as well as the available free parking spot nearby. In the common kitchenette, guests have designated table and fridge space. Nice! The householder Giuseppe is a kind and very responsive person for your needs.

Very clean and good looking appartment with great breakfast every day. At the last day we got even additional stuff for breakfast. The appartement is not noisy and very bright. Perfect to stay there for a solo holiday or with your partner.

The location is convenient for departing on day trip ( close to main road) but the district do not offer a lot of possibilities for drinks nor dinner. You need to take the car/bus for downtown or dive to the next villages.

Clean design, possibility to seat outside, bus connection to city center

The only minor downside was the bed size, which was a bit smaller than we are used to. Nonetheless, the overall hospitality and comfort made our stay truly enjoyable.

We had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The place was not only cozy and comfortable but also beautifully designed, making it a perfect home away from home. The host's warm welcome truly stood out – their hospitality and attentiveness made me feel valued and appreciated throughout my entire stay. From the thoughtful amenities to the helpful local recommendations, every detail was taken care of. Breakfast is typically Italian with sweets, fresh croissants, coffee, juice and since we prefer more the salty breakfast, the host was kind enough to bring us fresh cheese that was very tasty. Parking is also easy nearby the accommodation on a non paying street.

Breakfast in a box was great! We could even taken it outside. Contact with the owner was very good. All by whattsapp. For us this was a very positive stay in Lecce, just outside the very busy centre. We highly recommend this place to future Lecce visitors.

We had a great stay. Very nice host, spacious well furnished room and very comfortable bed. The location is a bit outside the city center but by car everything is very easy to reach and you can park for free at the accommodation. The breakfast is typical Italian, so exclusively sweet. We enjoyed our time here very much and will be very happy to come back.

Located just a touch too far to walk into the centre of Lecce, however just a short drive to the city walls where there was street parking.

Exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Breakfast provided in a separate dining room or you could take it outside to your own bistro table. Street parking for our car to the side of the property was convenient.
