This hotel is truly unique. I highly recommend staying here. The rooms are magnificent and the breakfast delicious. It’s perfectly located right next to the historical center and not far from the beaches.

Nice place but disappointing treatment
The place itself is very nice, but it is unfortunate that the owner chose to mistreat a client like me. I arrived a bit earlier than check in time, and asked if they could accommodate me. The owner answered via intercom telling me to go away immediately and not bother him while he was having his break, and kept insulting me that I did not know how to read the rules of the contract. I could not believe my ears and rang again, but he went even further, aggressively screaming to shut the door and go away. I decided to stay calm and come back at the designated check in time and ignore this guy. The morning after, while having breakfast, which was very limited in choice but of good quality, I was sharing my experience with the family next to our table, and this guy jumps out of the blue and starts aggressing me in front of everyone, clearly preventing me from speaking in public and telling other guests about my negative experience. He raised his voice again in the middle of all the tables threatening to kick me out of the hotel if I kept talking about this to anyone else. At that stage I decided to ignore the whole thing and just enjoy my vacation, so I left the breakfast table and did not speak to him again. The morning of the checkout I walked into the reception and I saw him again badly fighting with another guest. They were cursing at each other and he even ran after this guest trying to engage in a fight. I honestly have never seen anything like this.

Dear Gianluca Passaretta, check-in time is written on the website and Expedia also sends a reminder some days before the arrival. You arrived at 14:00 and rang the intercom the first time, when the owner kindly told you to come back at 16:00 for the check-in, then a second time because you wanted to leave the luggage but there was none of us so it was not possible, then a third time insisting to go in and asking "what do I do now??". The owner just told you to come back later without screaming, but a bit annoyed. Then, at breakfast you were really irritating with the girls serving you, laughing at their face and making fun of them. While you were also telling your version of the story to the other guests insulting the owner, he arrived asking you to stop otherwise he would have been obliged to send you away. In the end, the scene you saw at the check-out was another "peculiar" guest who has already been reported to the local authorities for his violent attitude.

Lovely hotel in historic Nardo.
Lovely hotel. The room was large, the bathroom was great and the location was terrific -- just outside the centro area of historic Nardo -- easy walking distance to all the sights. My only complaint is that the check-in desk is only open from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m., so we had a long wait on a rainy day to check into the hotel. Otherwise, great.

Nardò Monastery
How often do you get to stay in an old monastery? Amazing features,high ceilings,ornate masonry and plasterwork.Centre of town. Town of Nardò ,so far,unspoilt by tourism,full of interesting old buildings,particularly churches. We also took the train into Lecce,which takes about an hour each way,to avoid the usual parking difficulties.Easy,and you get to see the countryside.Train fare 2.5 euros each way .Bargain !

A gem!!!
This hotel is beyond words. The rooms are unique, respectful of their origins. However, modern comfort abounds. The location is ideal, both for within the city and the area surrounded by mustsee sights such as the villas, the olive groves, masserie, seaside in the preserved park and of course the wonderful food. Nardò is a gem, with its Piazza Salandra, churches and architectural details. The inhabitants are friendly, generous, welcoming.

A very special place
The rooms are spacious, warm and inviting with frescos and 30 foot vaulted ceilings. The monastery is quiet, solemn, yet in the historic center of Nardò, close to Piazza Salandra, Nardò 's heart, its livingroom. The town does not rely on tourism to come to life; it has a lovely charm of its own thanks to its citizens and its singular beauty. Also, the exquisite seaside vistas and historic villas are a stone's throw away. Our stay has been unique and unforgettable with Antonello's knowledge of the area's gems to visit and discover. We strongly suggest a lengthy stay in this hotel and area to fully appreciate its past and present beauty.
