"Pros: We have very mixed feelings about our stay at Lecce Mon Amour. The good: The host was unavoidable out of town and his sister was graciously helpful in checking us in, not easy for her to do since she worked. The place was more like a hostel than an B&B, it seems to be an apartment turned in to a hostel type accommodation with a central kitchen area (well supplied with breakfast type foods, coffee maker, refrigerator, sink, but no wine opener!) and then several locked en suite bedrooms. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, showers and bathrooms very adequate. We had a car and were able to park in a private locked off-street area for an added fee. Communication with the host and his sister when needed was very good. Even though host was out of town, when we had to contact him about a matter (see below) he was immediately responsive. Cons: We hesitate to include this, but we are 3 women traveling together, 2 sharing one room at Lecce Mon Amour and the 3rd in a room by herself. This is important: We were told upon arriving that we would be the only people staying there for the two nights of our reservation. Because of that, we left our bedroom doors unlocked when we went out for the day, and did not concern ourselves with being overly quiet or private and such when we were on the premises. When we arrived back at the b&b after being out touring for the day, we were ready to shower and relax. But not long after arriving, a woman came out of one of the formerly unoccupied rooms and headed for the door to leave. We tried to speak to her but she ignored us, said something in Italian and quickly left. A few minutes later a gentleman came out of the same room. We asked if he was staying there, explaining that we understood that we were the only ones there. He told us that he was a friend of the owner's but could not explain what he and the woman were doing there. Of course we had a pretty good idea. The man then quickly left. Meanwhile, one of us was texting the host to check out what was happening, who these people were and at the same time the host was contacting us via text. He apologized, but only said that those people would not be returning. As one can imagine, we were very unsettled by this. The fact that we had left our doors unlocked expecting no one there, and that we were not alone when we thought we were. It truly gave us a creepy feeling most especially thinking about why the couple was there in the middle of the afternoon. Though we will likely not be returning to Puglia or Lecce, we would never stay in this B&B again. We hope the owner, though a very nice person in all our communications, will take heed of this incident and ensure it does not happen again for other travelers." ~Catherine

"Pros: Francesco is a fantastic host, we arrived 90 mins late due to train issues and Francesco picked us up from the station. The apartment has fully fitted kitchen, Aircon in lounge and bedrooms. Located in a quiet street just off a main shopping street with a short walk to historic centre, I would recommend highly. Francesco even brought us a famous Lecce breakfast. Mmmm Cons: Nothing" ~David

"Pros: It was a nice space, a great location, and the hosts were wonderfully helpful, giving us local tips and telling us about places to visit on our trip. Cons: The room was right next to a busy road, so it was quite noisy. Parking nearby was difficult - the spaces nearby were frequently full, meaning we had to park a fair walk away. The bed wasn't the most comfortable." ~Kristy
