The palazzo is beautiful and the host is very nice

When you book this stay, you have to know that you are situated in San Pietro in Lama, just 12 minutes away from Lecce by car.

We had a great stay in st Pietro in Lama. The hospitality from Antonella was great. She always responded quickly and had some great tips. We had a very spacious appartment. We had a lot of privacy which was perfect because we have two little children. And last but not least the garden. Perfect to get the right “zen” vacation mood. We will recommend this stay to everyone. The village it’s like a movie scene, some real Italian vibes!

I had the pleasure of staying in this extraordinary historic residence, where every detail evokes the charm of a bygone era. From the moment you enter, you feel transported back in time. The room was exceptionally spacious, impeccably clean, and adorned with elegant period details. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and the breakfast, abundant, delicious and of high-quality local ingredients. The garden, with its beauty, felt like a scene from a fairytale, perfectly in harmony with the historic soul of the property. Heartfelt thanks to the owners for their warm and gracious hospitality.

Great breakfast and service

Stayed in May 2025

Everything was excellent but if i were to mention one area of improvement it would be the phonic isolation.

The palazzo and especially the garden have a special vibe. The hosts were very welcoming and their renovation project really showed great taste and interest for the comfort of guests. The breakfast was also very good.

Nothing at all, it surpassed our expectations.

We adored the palazzo. Beautiful and sympathetically renovated huge rooms within an old, partly-renovated palazzo. The old un-renovated sections add to the atmosphere and the huge garden is stunning and unexpected. Good breakfast - would love to have visited no the warmer months when breakfast is served in the garden. Great location in centre of small town within a short drive of Lecce and perfect for exploring Salanto. Owners were welcoming and very helpful.

Nothing we didn't like

This apartment was fantastic, it was a family home full of history and character, there was a large garden space beautifully lit at night as was all the areas, some areas still had a lot of the original features that made it a very special place to stay, hosts were very and accommodating

The church bells are quite loud in the morning but didn’t start until 7am so we treat them as an alarm call for getting up for breakfast so it didn’t spoil our stay. You need a car to stay here.

Good sized property in a little satellite village just outside Lecce, making it very easy to get into the historical centre by car in less than 10 minutes. The breakfast was very good and changed slightly every day to keep you interested, and was taken on a covered terrace overlooking the garden. The parking was easy to find on the street when we visited in October. There is an excellent restaurant in the village Cantina Don Carlo where we ate most nights

The breakfast was nice, and seemingly had everything needed, but it seems that the place is still in the stages of being organized for hosting, and things seem a bit improvised. I think the breakfast standard can be raised, so that it matches the level of the accommodation and the standard in similar places. Beyond that, the place is still in the process of renovation and it was worth noting this in the booking process.

The service of Antonella and Simona was excellent, the location close to Lecce was excellent, the room is very well designed and pleasant to stay.

Nothing, for us, every bit of our stay there was perfect.

Starting with the position of property in San Pietro in Lama, to the apartment we were in, the environment and garden and surroundings, I dont know how to explain how lucky we were to found this kind of apartment. Everything was perfect for us!

Stayed in July 2024

A beautiful palace, with a strong spirit of the past, the apartment is modernly renovated and fully equipped, the owner, Mrs Antonella and her husband are great (they sent us a series of links with recommendations for tours, restaurants, etc.) The most impressive garden with centuries-old trees, flowers, oranges, absolutely zen atmosphere

Nothing, it was all great.

We stayed in the ground floor apartment, the original stone walls and features are beautiful. It was very comfortable with everything we needed to prepare our own meal a couple of times. The bed is very comfortable. We were able to park our car right outside the apartment without issue. There are shops and restaurants within close walking distance. The host family is wonderful and very responsive. There were delicious pastries supplied each day as well as many other food items to make our stay more comfortable. I would definitely return if I stay in Lecce again.

Wonderful and authentic restoration project and beautiful rooms. Cantina Din Carlo nearby is a gem.

Palazzo de Carlo is spacious, elegant, comfortable and well-located. Antonella and Sergio are wonderful and helpful hosts. The setting is expansive and very peaceful - the photos don't do it justice. It was very convenient to park and get in and out of town, whether into Lecce or to any part of the coast of Salento. I happily extended by stay and would gladly stay again

The address, number, did not correspond to the number given us.

EX Palazzo. And Antonella receiving us as if we are in Palace taking time to explain and showing us the facilities.

Everthing was absolutly perfect!

Everything Palazzo de Carlo has to offer was beyond perfect and way more we expected. The rooms were classy, super clean and spacious. The whole building is truly amazing and we couldn't believe how beautiful the garden was. We loved the breakfast with fresh orange juice, pasticiotto and other italian specialities in der garden and we and the kids had an amazing time there. But on top of all these perfect things were Antonella und Sergio. The were the sweetest and kindest hosts we ever had on our travel destinations. They had loads of amazing tips for beaches, restaurants and festivals around that time and area and we made so much good experiences. We definitely want to come back soon because Palazzo de Carlo felt like home away from home.

Nothing to not like about the palazzo.

The palazzo is a beautiful masterpiece, the rooms are really unique (the pictures are very faithful). Confort is king in the palazzo and the owners are welcoming and helpful, and genuinly kind.

Nothing.

The hosts were so accommodating and lovely, saw to our every need. This property is a historical palace with vaulted ceilings and beautifully furnished. The renovation is very high quality craftsmanship and just a very special experience. It is within a short walk to an excellent restaurant, Cantina Don Carlos, bakery and cafe.

Stayed in March 2023

Sergio and Antonella were kind, gracious and welcoming hosts and it consequently felt more like a stay with friends. The palazzo is beautiful, with barrel vaulted ceilings and rooms full of character and a balcony or terrace and a large garden. The room was spacious with a separate sitting room, and a little annexe with small fridge and a coffee machine. The tasty breakfast is served in a room with a view of the adjoining church The town itself is close to the enchanting city of Lecce and makes a great base to explore both Salento coasts. All in all a truly memorable stay.

The only one thing we didn't enjoy is a sound of bells starting early morning every 15 minutes (because the house is located on the typical old square with church).

We liked basically everything! The house is amazing as well the hosts! Owners showed us inner garden. Everything is perfectly renovated, VERY clean, the beds are so comfortable! We also had our own balcony. In addition, we had 2 air conditioners (which is great in summer). The breakfast was not served as usual, but hosts provided us in advance with drinks, tea, coffee, sweet snacks and left for us fresh pie in the morning. We definitely recommend!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. The property is a hidden gem in Salento, it felt like an true Italian experience. The rooms are incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated with attention to detail, and they feel luxe. Mattress was super comfy. The fresh pasticciotto for breakfast enjoyed in the park really was one of the highlights of the trip that we will never forget. The lovely owners were kind were kind enough to provide us with plenty of information and recommendations for our trip. Grazie mille per tutti!

Loungers in the garden would have been nice to chill out - hammocks not ideal for older people.The location /village had no facilities that were open when we needed them. No convenience store or local bar to get a snack or drink. You need to go via a supermarket so you have provisions . The location was good as close to networks for Lecce and Galopoli.

We booked a suite and the room was lovely with high ceilings -Lounge,bedroom and small drinks area with fridge. Shower room . The gardens were lovely with hammocks and we didn’t struggle to park. An Italian style breakfast was provided . The owners and staff were very helpful.
