Beautiful apartment in a great location just outside the old city. Carmen was an excellent host who was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Excellent breakfast.

Nothing to report.

The room was delightful, clean and spacious and the outdoor courtyard a bonus. Carmen was amazing, helpful, thoughtful and eager to help us in any way.

We had an exceptional stay at the SamEla Bed and Breakfast!! Our room was very large and clean and comfortable and included an outdoor courtyard that gave us an additional space to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Lecce. Great location: 4-minute walk to the historic center and 7-minute walk to the train station and car rental returns. This place was a gem. On top of it all, our host, Carmen was extremely polite and kind and helpful and prepared a lovely breakfast for us and told us about the area. We felt so lucky to have chosen this spot, and will return next time.

Everything was perfect! We loved this place! It’s so beautiful, clean and just 10 min walking to the historic centre! Carmen, the owner, is really sweet and helpful. This B&B is perfect to visit Lecce. Good breakfast and free parking at the B&B’s street! Thank you for this wonderful experience! We’ll come back! 💖

Carmen is a wonderful host. Breakfast was lovely especially the pastacciotto. The location of the B&B was fantastic with free parking on the street for our car and close to the centre. We really appreciated Carmen taking the time to speak with us in Italian as we learning the language.

Clean and comfortable with mini-fridge; excellent location steps from historic core but convenient to grocery, market, local cafes and bars for local color; lovely decor with a lot of attention to detail; gracious and attentive hostess. Parking was on a public street but always available in front of the property. For city center, size of room was generous.

The mattress on the bed wasn't very comfortable, we think it's ready to be replaced.

This is a wonderful B&B, run by lovely people. The room and building are beautiful. The daily breakfast was fantastic. We enjoyed the location - it was close enough to the city center to walk, but we also had the possibility of free parking on the street.

The fact that it isn’t mine…

The property was stylish and chic with really good quality bedding and furnishings. It was spotlessly clean! The house was in a quiet location and just a 5 minute walk from the hub and bustle of Lecce town centre. The owners Carmen and Giuseppe were the perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome. In Carmens words “I like to spoil my guests” and we certainly felt spoilt. The courtyard off the bedroom was a tranquil oasis where we sat on a couple of evenings drinking wine, playing cards, reading and lounging after a long days sightseeing. The patio furniture, decor and plants were all beautiful. Carmen served a continental breakfast with choices of fresh pastries, meats, cheese, cereals, juices, variety of breads and tea, coffee. Carmen even made us cappuccinos!

Nothing. Everything was more than we expected.

We loved everything. Starting with Carmen and Giuseppe, they are wonderful people and wonderful hosts. So caring, helpful, and attentive to our needs. We felt like home. Breakfast was amazing. The room is perfect size and comfortable. Spotless clean and organised. Very nice location, only a few minutes walking to the old town, and nice restaurants around. Short distance to the train station, where you can take train and also bus to the villages nearby. Smart TV in the room, so we could watch anything. There was space to hang clothes and towels up. Air conditioning was working perfectly and silent. We highly recommend the accommodation and definitely will be back again.

What a delightful stay we had . Carmen and Guiseppe couldn’t have been nicer hosts. The B & B is a five minute walk to the Centro . Wonderfully quiet , comfortable bed , good size bathroom. The breakfast was all you needed and they provided gf bread for my husband.

I can't think of anything to improve upon.

Carmen (with the help of her husband Guiseppe) was extraordinarily kind to us, e.g. preparing two fine breakfasts for us but more importantly, conversing with us at length about all our questions about Italy. She went far beyond meeting our physical needs and provided us warm-hearted companionship. Meanwhile, she presented us with a living unit in impeccable condition.

There isn’t anything we disliked

This absolutely lovely place is run by the sweet kind Carmen who welcomes you the minute you walk in . Fabulously large room with an exceptional little private garden .. Parking is free and on the street . Safe area . We never had a problem getting a spot . Carmen prepares a nice breakfast with a smile and suggestions for the day .. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the Centro of Lecce . It was by far our favorite place ..

Beautiful boutique style B&B just a few minutes walking distance from the old town. Lovely host Carmen and her husband Guiseppe who run this place.

Everything was mamaaaa mia thanks to the kindness of the host Carmen. The location is in a quite neighborhood close to the old city, only 5 minutes walk. The host gave us exceptional tips about the places where we can eat and also made us feel like home. Grazie mille !

It would be good to have a curtain blocking the light in the morning - but not critical

The hostess is very nice the B&B is decorated very tastefully and everything was new Walking distance to old city Free parking on the street. We gound parking both times we moved the car

Everything; we had a great stay here! Our hostess Carmen is a very nice, kind person and every day she made sure that our stay was special. The room was clean, quiet, spacious. It had everything we needed after long days of walking, driving, swimming. Breakfast was everything you can ask for, even more. Fresh bakery products, cheese, ham, cereals, juice, jams and more. Coffee was super delicious. What can I say? I’m truly very happy that we stayed here. If I ever go back to Lecce this -without a doubt- is where I’ll stay.
