i stayed in a lovely little apartment. The owner is very helpful. You can easily walk to all the sights in the old town from here. Be aware that if you have a car you need to park a few streets away in public street parking (no cost).

Great stay, Location, Overall Trip
Great stay at Del Corte, was like an apartment, full kitchen with a small balcony. Excellent location in old town but on a quiet side street yet still just minutes walk to many good restaurants and cocktails bars ( great drinks at Quanta Basta close by) . Francesco (the host) is a really nice guy and will go out of his way to help, if needed. Hope to be back again in Lecce.

Francesco is one of the best hosts I’ve met on my travels. Nothing is too much trouble. Always asking if everything is ok. He even went to the pharmacy when I was sick to get me some medicine. The room I had was very spacious and was supplied with water, coffee pods and Francesco would bring each guest a fresh pastry for breakfast every morning. The room was in the historic centre mins from shopping, restaurants and the big sites. It was only less than a 10 min walk from the station & very easy to find. Each day the room was cleaned and freshened up, I couldn’t have asked for more to be done. Even now I have left, the host is still messaging me to see how I’m feeling!!! What a super host he is.

GREAT POSITION TO EXPLORE LECCE
We stayed here for four nights to use Lecce as a base for exploring the bottom half of Puglia. It is old school but very well done, comfortable clean rooms and the use of a shared kitchen which was great to sit at the table and catch up on emails etc and heat something if you wanted to stay in. I would say it is value for money for such a great position. Breakfast was help yourself to whatever was there plus the owner bought us a pastry each in the mornings. It is up a narrow flight of stairs but at least we were there for four nights. If on a budget I would recommend.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The B&B is strategically located within the old town from where you can easily walk to reach out to amazing places. Francesco (the host) is such a friendly person, taking care of us on every single piece of information we needed, and the rest of the staff was kind and nice to us. we highly recommend this B&B to enjoy the city of Lecce, going out and about through the close cities of Porto Cesareo to enjoy a dinner out in front of the Adriatic Sea, or have a dive in its crystal clear water at Torre dell' Orso. Definitely, we will come back as soon as we have the next holidays. The free parking is really close to the property. Highly recommended by Alberto & Elisa.

Good for a night to sleep, not for a stay
I booked on a very short term notice (3 hours ahead of time) – maybe this why the landlord didn'r even know I was coming. So everything was closed. Luckily we could reach him on the phone and he explained everything so we could check in. From then onwards he was available in notime on whatsapp. Everything was clean, the rooms are a kind of dark because not much light is coming in. I left early (8.10 am), so no breakfast – what was available, wasn't really "inviting". What was a bit disturbing was that I could not lock my room and that a cockroach was there ..... !

Dear lady made a last minute booking a few hours before your arrival. In his review he writes: Booked on very short notice (3 hours ahead of time) - maybe that's why the owner didn't even know I was coming. So everything was closed. Luckily we were able to contact him on the phone and he explained everything to check-in. At this point I have to make some considerations. The rules between Expedia and my property require the guest to communicate the time of arrival. She did not communicate the arrival time and, once she arrived, she noticed that everything was closed and therefore she could not check-in. Since your arrival I have explained to you that you should always communicate your arrival time according to the rules in order not to find yourself in these situations. He seemed to have understood. However, not being on the spot I had to 1) call a collaborator, 2) pay the employee 3) have her do a quick check-in so as not to have her waiting outside the door I immediately made myself available. You also understood the reason for my absence (medical examination of my wife in the eighth month of pregnancy). The guest understood and acknowledged my availability also in the review. In fact he wrote: From that moment on he was available in good time on whatsapp, acknowledging that the structure was clean. She also claimed that the rooms were dark because not much light came in, she left early (8.10am), so she didn't use the breakfast service also because what was available was not "inviting". I know the rules of the game and the reviews and I accept this type of criticism, so I do not complain about what is written even if I would have done everything to satisfy her if only she had also told me via whatsapp. But it's okay anyway, when because of the guest, there is no type of communication between with the owner, it is really difficult to meet the needs and resolve any critical issues. What, however, does not correspond to the truth, is the story of the closure of the room and that of the presence of the cockroach / insect coming from outside. First of all, the keys were provided by the employee who checked in. Perhaps the employee did not provide a precise and timely description (as I would have done when I speak in English) but I cannot accept the message that my facility is not secure or that there is no privacy within it. This statement is not true because keys and an entire apartment with a garden have been made available to her. With the keys he could open and close all the doors of the structure and if he didn't, he certainly can't blame me for this lack. Same goes for the cockroach / insect present in the courtyard adjacent to the public garden in front of his apartment. Not knowing the arrival time, extraordinary cleaning was carried out in the morning in the courtyard in front of the room (which is a public space and is not part of the B&B). Since doors and windows remained open, therefore, it is likely that out of control insects have gravi

Great B&B near Dome
La Corte is inside the beautiful old town super close to the Dome, the other main interest points and, if you come without a car this is relevant it is close to bus and train stations. The place looks as advertised and I had no issues throughout my stay. Francesco is a lovely host who made sure my time at La Corte was great.

What a great place to stay - inside the “Centro Historic”, close to all of the sights(not that anything is too far away) and an excellent host who delivered a welcome snack, advice on free car parking, and tips on restaurants which were well considered. Francesco is a thoughtful and well prepared host and we thank him! Lecce is a fantastic place to visit and for a short or longer stay, it is recommended, as is La Corte.

Hello Susanne, thank you for your review and the nice words to me and my structure. You have been two exceptional guests! As for the breakfast I've always organized myself in this way: in the kitchen cupboards you can find everything you need for breakfast or coffee, tea, snacks and various tarts. In the fridge instead water, milk and fruit juices. Every day a typical leccese product is offered: the rustic or the pasticciotto. Thanks again, I hope to see you soon !!!!!!

Le Corte B&B was more than just a place to lay ones head. It was truly a home away from home, and it's more than cozy, clean, and comfortable fixtures and amenities, were bested only by its owner and gracious host Francesco. After the greetings and his detailed helpful advice on the local sites and restaurants to visit he honored us with a delicious treat made renowned by his village. Even though our time at Le Corte was brief, Francescos guidance and the welcoming friendly local people of Lecce made our stay truly memorable.

Room is huge for one amazing decorating and kitchen w toaster oven. I saw the other rooms and they are fab as well many w full kitchens and he offered me them at same price. For One week I felt like a queen! Close to train, centre, loads of eating places. Quiet and I even used roof top washer. A real gem !!!

Lovely place, albeit dark inside. No balcony or terrace....Kitchen was nice to have. AC worked....and quietly. No buffet breakfast as advertised was a disappointment. Instead we received each morning a pastry customary to the area, delivered by the property manager; Franceso.

A real Lecce experience
Although the BnB was a bit hard to find the reward in staying at La Corte was the overall feel you get for the city of Lecce especially in the historical section. Francesco is an excellent host and he checked in daily to see how our stay was and off course to deliver Lecce's signature pastry, pasticciotto. You have easy access to the historical section via walks and if you have a car you are provided with a pass to park in available spaces next to the BnB. We had an extended stay and the kitchen provided was an excellent opportunity to create our own Italian meals from the many markets that you can walk to. Don't miss this stay if you are in beautiful Lecce.
