Reviews of Piazza Argento

The owner was very welcoming and provided us with all the information we needed. Very spacious room and clean. Only a 10 minute walk from the old town.

We didn’t realise the room we booked had a separate bathroom. Still a private area but not an ensuite as such.

Great location, easy parking, plenty of parking spaces in front of the building. It’s an old building with a good vibe, but it generally promises more than it really offers.

Private bathroom is located in a separate room down the hall, which makes it very annoying to use. The balcony with chairs and tables (in the pictures) is “staff only”, the one in the room is shared with no furniture, so you can’t really sit outside. Breakfast is poor. Cheap and low quality pastry. Coffee is ok. Shared kitchen, but cooking us not allowed. Plasma TV = a small 24” computer screen. I didn’t mind not having a TV in my room or not being able to use the kitchen, it’s just to paint the picture of the type of overselling this B&B advertises.

Location handy for station and old quarter. Excellent aircon.

Beds and pillows uncomfortable. Review oversold the balcony which was shared and tea and coffee was located in shared kitchen, not in room as advertised and not available apart from breakfast time.

1. Location was around a 7 mins walk to the Lecce old town, which we actually preferred because it was quieter and it was an easy walk. 2. There's free street parking just right outside the B&B 3. B&B is up 1 flight of stairs, but they are super wide, so no problems with large suitcases. There are also several rooms in the property and the kitchen is shared so you will hear/see other occupants around.

Breakfast came included, but options were super limited so we did not have breakfast at the B&B as it was practically packaged biscuits / mini croissants. Some more variety like fruits and eggs would've been much appreciated!

My daughter and I stayed at Piazzo Argento for several days in August. It was very relaxed and peaceful with lovely furnishings and felt like we were staying in our own apartment. Location was good: the walk to the old city was short (10 min) and we made the trip several times each day. Easy & free parking was available on the street. I would stay again if I ever returned to Lecce

Would have liked softer pillows - the pillows were a very stiff memory foam, albeit this has been prevalent problem everywhere we stayed in Italy! I would have liked having extra coffee available outside of breakfast - the coffee machine made very good coffee and we would have liked to make another cup now and then.

It’s in a local apartment neighbourhood so it gives me the feeling like I actually live there. VERY clean, wifi works really well, abundant breakfast and Paolo is a very nice and helpful host!

Only the street noise was a bit annoying. The rooms were completely clean. The bathroom did not have a fan.

The sign of the building was very small and it was not clear at night. I didn't see Paolo, but he was helpful.

Lecce has a wonderful centro storico, well worth taking time to wander with many superb sights & places. We opted to stay out of the centre but only a short walk away. Parking was potluck, on the main road outside the property, but we had no problems finding a convenient spot. Don't be put off by the outside look of the property, it's lovely inside - old fashioned, big rooms with balconies overlooking the quiet side - everything spotless. Paolo was very helpful, giving us a photocopy of his map, pointing out the main sights and a list of restaurants. He went out of his way to get me a selection of gluten free stuff for breakfast and then insisted I kept all the spare items. We had access to a well provisioned kitchen and breakfast was on the balcony outside, overlooking the small garden area.

If you are mobility limited, this is probably too far from the centre and the apartment has stairs. Otherwise, everything was great.
