Dimora Charleston Spa Lecce

Dimora Charleston was quite simply the best B&B we’ve stayed in. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. Although we don’t speak Italian, the lady at check-in was kind and helpful, and it was easy to communicate. She offered us a caffè leccese on arrival, and a gentleman kindly explained it was a local iced coffee with almond milk, served with two delicious homemade jam tarts. As I don’t drink coffee, he brought me a juice instead – a really thoughtful touch. The building is beautiful, full of character, and very well looked after. The lift was a big help with suitcases, and private parking on site was ideal. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had excellent air conditioning. Breakfast was generous and fresh, with homemade cakes and plenty of choice. The lady explained everything and made us feel at home. We also had a lovely chat with an Australian couple, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s in a great location, quiet yet close to everything. We genuinely couldn’t fault our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lecce.

Beautiful villa in a perfect location The villa is beautiful and the owner and his staff are very friendly and helpful. The location is IDEAL since it is on the edge of the historic center and you have gated parking in the front drive of the villa. It was so easy to come and go with our car to visit other parts of the region. In the evenings it was just a short five minute walk to get to the historic center of Lecce. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to this area.

Great location The host treats you like family in a palace from the 1920s.cloae to a main gate into the city

Very helpful host Great location, secure car park and pedestrian entry. Very helpful host. Lovely building. Room and bathroom were clean. Really good location for old rown, museums churches and restaurants

Grazie Manlio for the gracious welcome and attention you and your amazing staff extended to us during our three-night stay at your incredibly beautiful palazzo. The property is a mere few steps away from historic Lecce and is truly palatial. If we were able, we would give this property and experience a 10 star review! GRAZIE MILLE!!

I’ve stayed in a lot of nice places around the world and this place is in my top three. Starting with the host/owner (Mr. Palmieri) who exudes warmth and welcomes you into his property with a level of hospitality and grace that cannot be surpassed. The property itself is absolutely wonderful. A perfect combination of historic beauty with modern conveniences that we are accustomed to in North America. 10 out of 10.
