Oase van rust
Pros:

Onze tweede bezoek van een week in deze oase van rust in het warme Zuid Italië. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en heel hulpvaardig. Het ontbijtbuffet en de poolservice zijn tot in de puntjes verzorgd, en de kamer is zeer ruim en koel, ondanks de hitte buiten. Het hotel biedt niet langer de shuttle naar het centrum aan, maar voorziet wel een taxi in de plaats. Nieuw dit jaar is de mogelijkheid tot bijboeken van verschillende activiteiten in het Chiostro, zowel de massages als de yoga by the pool bevielen ons enorm. We komen zeker terug!

Stunning place with three incredible, genuine people working there... thank you!
Pros:

I arrived at this hotel at 2am after my husband was rushed into Lecce hospital and stayed in intensive care. I am not a religious person, but straight away, the tranquility and calm of this beautiful ancient building eased my mind. Unlike ordinary hotels, it gave me space, peace and comfort at one of the worst of times. The building is stunning and immediately lifts your spirits, but the staff, in particular three individuals, were exceptional. I will not forget the kindness of Anna on main reception who was like an old friend, ensuring that I had taxis waiting each evening at the end of visiting time, and helping with any other request, no matter how small, that I had during my stay, and showing real, genuine concern, above and beyond her role at the hotel. In addition, I need to mention Alessandio and Illaria who made my breakfast and dinner far less lonely. They were just amazing. Usually when you eat at a hotel on your own you feel isolated and excluded, but they felt like genuine friends each evening and I really can't thank them enough for their incredible kindness. The food was amazing at Gimmi's restaurant and I really found comfort in such little things at such an uncertain time. I even made friends with a couple of other guests due to the lovely layout and ambience of the place. My husband has just come out of hospital (and will need further medical care once back in the UK), we are still in Lecce and would have been back at this wonderful place had they not been fully booked until 28 October. A hotel tends to be faceless, a place where you simply go and rest up for a day or two, but it is important for staff to look beyond the booking. Guests come for all sorts of reasons and occasionally need a little more than perfunctory processing. I needed looking after at a time of great need, and I can't thank Anna, Alessanio and Illaria enough for their kindness.

Five * facility with Three * price!
Pros:

We valued this facility as an outstanding! Very friendly staff! Dining hall was elegant with exceptionally good service and very good food with reasonable price. If we come back again to Lecce, we will stay for several days! We consider this facility much better than Napoli Renaissance hotel!

Cons:

This facility is exceptionally better!

A very memorable stay - highly recommend.
Pros:

Everything from the staff at reception to the staff everywhere is the hotel, the food, the history of the building was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Cons:

It was a 15 min cycle / half an hour walk from the centre of Lecca which was a challenge in the rain!

A beautiful monestry that could have been my haven - but showed no compassion
Pros:

I arrived at Lecce due to a medical emergency. My husband was admitted to Lecce intensive care. This place could have been my salvation. It is a beautiful , peaceful old monastery but I found no humanity. At 1am I went to my lovely room and hoped I could stay for a few days as it is close to the hospital and I simply wanted a base as I had no one to help me and felt very emotional and lonely. I didn’t want to pack up and find somewhere else just hours after arriving. I need a base during a terrible ordeal.

Cons:

The next morning I pleaded to stay and explained my husband was in intensive care. There was no understanding, simply ‘fully booked’. I asked what time I must leave as I had arrived so late and wasn’t allowed to see my husband until 1pm Didn’t even give me an extension. I had to pack up and go at 11am. I cried all the way to the hospital as everything felt too much. I told them I was disappointed and would give a bad review as I felt so alone in this country with no one to care or help me. Several hours later they emailed and offered to help me book somewhere else. Too late. I would like to think that I would never show such a lack of compassion to someone in need. Surely being so close to b the hospital I am not the first guest in n such need?

Pros:

Ein interessantes Hotel in einer alten Klosteranlage. Ein grandioses Flair in alten Mauern. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter.

Cons:

Leider leigt das Hotel weit vom Stadtzentrum entfernt und ist daher für Städtetourismus nur bedingt geeignet. Ein Shuttle Service das Hotels wäre dringend notwendig.
