Il Giardino Di Benedetta

The bed is up on a mezzanine, so there’s a bit of a climb, but it’s comfortable. The spacious room was clean, and so was the bathroom, which had all the amenities. Breakfast is Italian style, served in the room, with amazing cakes. Parking is paid on the street, unless you’re lucky enough to find a free space right in front of the building. Simona's B&B also has a wonderful garden and a great location near the old center. We had a fantastic couple of days.

We had a really pleasant visit. The owners were very friendly, and the garden was lovely, though I did get bitten by quite a lot of mosquitoes. It’s well placed near the historic center. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Lecce!

We’d planned on three days in Lecce, but extended our visit both to spend more time in the city and because we felt so comfortable at Simona's B&B. Simona and Piero were wonderful hosts, always ready with useful ideas for places to go and things to do. The family room was modern and fully furnished, with AC, a TV, a fridge, and more. The big breakfast is served in the garden, a peaceful little haven behind the main door where you can also unwind at the end of the day. It’s close to Centro Storico and easy to reach by car.

I booked this for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and the private garden setting in the middle of Lecce was perfect for a romantic stay. Giovanna was a wonderful host. She answered all my questions and surprised my parents when they arrived. Thank you for giving them such a memorable visit!
