8/10 Very good

Dimora Duchessina is set in a beautiful historic building in the peaceful town of Minervino di Lecce. The property is spacious and full of character, with high ceilings, elegant communal areas and a lovely garden and pool. As a family-owned property, it has a warm and personal atmosphere, and the hosts were welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was a particular highlight, both for the quality of the food and the attentive service. We also appreciated the helpful recommendations for local outings and places to visit. The check-in and communication were more informal than at a traditional hotel, as there is no staffed reception. Our room was comfortable, although it did not have the balcony and garden view we had expected, and natural light was quite limited. That said, we were very happy with our stay with the relaxing outdoor areas, the breakfast and the location. Dimora Duchessina is also only a short drive from some of Puglia’s most beautiful beaches, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.

Un posto da favola

Comunicazione e check-in perfetti! La struttura è meravigliosa, situata nel centro di Minervino, camere ampie e ben arredate. Bellissima la zona piscina, curata e pulita. Bella la terrazza usata per la colazione, buona ma darei maggior spazio alla parte salata con un po’ di prodotti tipici locali (formaggi e affettati). Viaggio spesso per lavoro e, una cosa sempre gradita e che consiglio, è far trovare in camera una bottiglia d’acqua di benvenuto e una cialda di caffè

Uma casa maravilhosa que precisa de ser renovada

O Hotel è Muito Giro pero Os colchões e travesseiros eram de péssima qualidade. A casa de banho deveria ser un pouco mais moderna. O ducheiro é pequeno de mais. O café da manhã não tinha quase nada de frutas num lugar onde as frutas são tão boas. Em suma para o preço falta qualidade. Minervino di Lecce fica perto de tudo e ten excelentes restaurantes

Staying at Palazzo from the 15th century!

We had a very big suite with high ceiling - it was a bit dusty but otherwise clean. The owners were very friendly and my boyfriend said he had one of the best tiramisu's in his life here. Staying in such a beautiful and well maintained old Palazzo was a unique experience.
