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.
