Characterful room, bit of a challenge with the steep stairs

Location was amazing

The noise from the bars during early hours. Ear plugs a must. 🙂

Location was excellent. Bed very comfortable. Air con was great. Nice typical Italian breakfast-very tasty. All staff were fantastic, stepped up to the mark. Cose in particular went out of his way to help us sort out our next destination. We stayed in the attic room. Had own terrace. And a visit from the hosts cat 😄

Everything was fantastic - the staff will attend to whatever needs you have.

The staff were lovely and very friendly, always looking after us and ensuring we were happy with the food and accomodation. It was a rare experience, the palazxo had a real charm, not to mention a stunning view from the balcony and delicious breakfasts.

The palazzo is an architectural jewel, beautiful restored and authentic in its furnishings. The penthouse suite terrace and breakfast room is particularly special.thank you to the gracious hosts Francesca and her husband it was a wonderful experience. The palazzo is situated in the heart of the Centro zona, steps away from the lovely action. Grazie

We stayed 3 nights, and it would have been nice to have been offered fresh towels, but other than that, nothing was dislikable. And to be fair, we didn't ask about fresh towels.

Location was excellent, room was spacious, light, airy and quiet.

Both the second bedroom and the bathroom are accessible only through the main bedroom. Whoever is using the second bedroom has to go through the main bedroom to reach it, and to reach the bathroom from that bedroom must again cross the main bedroom. This less-than-ideal arrangement may work for a couple with young children, but is likely to be socially awkward for any other grouping. Breakfast is brought to the apartment; there are no facilities for self-catering (it is a B&B - which is how it describes itself - rather than an apartment). What brings our score down is that the otherwise superb terraces were not well maintained, or even kept clean. The wi-fi was not always reliable.

The location was excellent. The apartment was in a magnificent historical building, with, nonetheless, very effective air-conditioning in both bedrooms.

Following a day of persistent heavy rain the electricity failed in our apartment but Francesca was able to move us to another less convenient apartment for one night until the electricity supply was restored to our booked apartment.

We highly appreciated the elegance, spaciousness and privacy of the apartment - it was entirely original with family paintings adorning the walls- as best as we could tell this was a genuine palazzo lifestyle experience

Stairs leading to our room, narrow and steep. Cose did carry our luggage but nonetheless maybe a problem for unfit or older people. Our room was a basic room not one with the beautiful furnishings. Bathroom small particularly shower recess.

Location, Historical building. Very close to railway station. 10 min walk. Francesca and Cose welcoming and generous. Breakfast with baked goods delicious. The roof terrace was nice to enjoy the sunshine and a coffee.

We have had a perfect few days in the very south of Italy, and Lecce could not have been a better choice for our last two nights. What made it particularly special was our accommodation in B&B Sambiasi; it is right in the historical centre but incredibly peaceful and quiet. The hosts, Francesca and her husband, were kind, welcoming and accommodating and the space itself was nothing short of spectacular. Very highly recommended - we would definitely stay again.

Our room had no outside view, though there were small windows at the top of the 5m high walls and a tiny enclosed outside space open to the sky

Excellent location in the old town, though you need to be aware of the ZTL (limited traffic access zone) times if you want to drive in to drop/pick up luggage. Comfortable, spacious room, good bathroom. Friendly and helpful host and staff Good choice of breakfast items

All good

Everything. First of all, Francesca, with her big smile. She will do anything to make you comfortable. She guided us to free parking and was always available for any need. The palazzo is in a great location, and our rooftop room was wonderful. Don't miss this place.

Narrow stairs could be a problem for some.

Lovely property and wonderful hosts. Thank you Francesca and Cosi for your wonderful hospitality.

Location in the heart of stunning Lecce. Very romantic room in this charming Italian B&B with a fabulous breakfast from Luca. The warm, kind hosts welcome you like family. Sambiasi offers an unforgettable stay in a baroque, historic building. A very special place.

Very nice hosts. Great penthouse apartment with huge terrace. Use blankets as heating in the winter is not efficient. Free parking on street about 500 meters from apartment.

Look no further, Great B&B!! Super friendly hosts, Beautiful old building. Ultimate location. Yummy breakfast. We took the rooftop room with the private roof terrace which we highly recommended.

I was initially put in the wrong room, but the owners kindly move me to the room I preferred. There is a attic apartment that was not clearly marked on the booking website and needs to be clarified P

The location was excellent. The owners are lovely and attentive. They provided a delicious breakfast.

There is nothing bad to say about this place.

There are no words to describe the amazing experience of staying in a palazzo. The rooms were spacious and palatial. Francesca and Cose were gracious and helpful hosts. The breakfasts that Francesca served every day were extraordinary.

It's an amazing place. We were very lucky to get the suite, so there was plenty of space and a lovely terrace. Breakfast served in own dining area. It included typical dishes from the area, and some were homemade. It was an excellent location to see all that Lecce had to offer.

Loved the old world charm of this very special place and convenience to everything we wanted to see. Francesca and her husband are wonderful hosts who really care about their guests and their accommodations. The breakfast is among the best we have experienced in our 10-day travels of the Puglia region. We highly recommend this B&B.

There is no parking in the Old Town. Do not use Google Maps to drive to the address as you will enter the ZTL (no traffic) area and get a fine like me! Francesca can suggest on free on street parking a 6 minute walk away

A very old but beautiful "palazzo" in the heart of the old town. Large and comfortable bedroom with 15ft ceilings. Francesca and her husband are the most perfect hosts. They welcomed us outside the door and did all they could to make our stay perfect including a wonderful "Lecchese" breakfast! It was very easy to explore beautiful Lecce.
