The room, the balcony, the town of San Cesario di Lecce. Lucia is an excellent host, very kind and generous. The whole stay was very enjoyable, for the second time. San Cesario is a quite town very close to Lecce with central location in Salento. The closest beach is 20 minutes way, and a variety of other beaches and towns within 30-45 minutes drive. La Dimora delle Grazie is an excellent bed and breakfast right in the centre of town. A traditional building that is very well kept and modernised.

Its a special place, very confortable, in a historic building surrounded by other historic buildings. It seems you're sleeping in a castle, but with all the confort. You have everithing you need. They leave you hot coffee and warm pastry in the morning. There are plenty options to park the car and the center of Lecce is only 5 minuts driving.There's a beautiful terrace where you can get sun or simply relax. It's really a differentiated service.

The steps up to the room are very steep and not for the less able. The lack of seating inside was disappointing , the weather was too cold to sit outside where there was seating. The church bells ring every 15mins at around 7.30am which could be an issue for those wanting a lie in.

We liked the location and the character of the building. Staff were lovely, helpful and there if required. Train ride away to Lecce.

The morning delivery of cappuccinos and pastries was a charming ritual. But as much as we love Italian coffee culture, cappuccinos are a bit too much milk for us. We politely asked if they could swap it for a café macchiato, thinking we were doing them a favor with less milk to steam. Sadly, our message was left on seen, and the cappuccinos kept coming. Maybe our macchiato dreams were too ambitious? No hard feelings, though! We just hope future guests can crack the coffee code. Overall, a delightful stay with plenty of laughs over our cappuccino dilemma.

Lucia was charming and attentive, always ensuring our stay was special with thoughtful details, including a welcome drink. The daily delivery of croissants and pastizzotti was a delightful touch that made us feel pampered. The apartment is located in a charming, festively decorated street, perfect for the holiday season. Restaurants, bars, and shops were all open and within easy reach, and parking nearby was always convenient. A truly enjoyable experience!

It was a bit challenging to prepare food in the kitchen due to its size (sink was small) and some equipment missing (e.g. cutting board). The limestone walls inside were charming, but attracted little warms which we needed to get used to.

The host, Lucia, was very nice and helpful. She made sure we enjoyed our stay and reacted to any caveats we reported (she even bought a new highchair for our baby when we said the current was a bit worn!). The apartment was beautiful and the hot bathtub very relaxing. Every morning we received fresh coffee and pastries.

Parking can be a little difficult. Finding the apartment is not easy, but it is near a large church, from there it is easy! The church bells don't go on all evening and were a surprise, but weren't really an issue. They shouldn't put anyone off from visiting.

The apartments were gorgeous. It was extremely spacious, with a lovely little private courtyard for breakfast. It was close to facilities such as small shops. restaurants and pizza places. Highly recommend it for a relaxing holiday. Lucia and her helpers were absolutely lovely . Nothing was too much bother for them.

The jacuzzi was leaking, but that can be fixed and the church bells will wake you up early. Otherwise it's great.

Beautiful place to stay, very spacious and everything you need. Great location. Breakfast was delicious

Highly recommended this very authentic,cozy ,comfortable and clean place. Attention to every detail,great breakfast. Perfect spot to explore and feel Salento .Amazing hospitality by Lucia!

The apartment is next to an old church, which was really beautiful. That also means that church bells are rung in the morning after 7:30am and can wake you up, especially for late sleepers like myself!

The apartment we stayed was in a 16th century monastery, was spacious, had great facilities and was overall beautiful. The property manager Lucia was lovely and we were brought fresh pastries every morning at 8am.

Parking was a little tricky on the off season, so I imagine it may be difficult to find a spot during a busier time.

This was a unique experience. We were there during the off season, so I think we were the only guests. We received excellent service and it was within walking distance of restaurants.

The breakfast lovely, substantial and beautifully presented everyday. The apartment was beautiful with all the amenities and facilities where well appointed. The garden terrace was attractive and inviting. Location was perfect if you have a car and like to be just on the outer edge of Lecce which was easily accessible. San Cesare Lecce had a very quaint appeal. Coffee at Caffetteria Patarnello who provided the breakfast was one of the best we tried. Lucia is a gem and very helpful.

The accomodations were perfect however the area is a little quiet between 2 - 6 and options for dining out were limited and not avail until 8 pm but that is the Italian way which as Canadians we were not used to

The room i originally booked was available but we were also shown an option (same price) for a room that had an enclosed private terrace. We chose to go with the terrace room and it was wonderful. We were able to sit in a fully enclosed area with a bottle or 2 of wine and just relax. Breakfast was brought to our door both mornings. Also, when we had an issue finding parking one of the locals had us follow him and he brought us right to a free parking area. It was much appreciated

The only - could be, are at least for someone the bells in the church nearby, if you prefer strict silence in the mornings. But they did not bother us at all, we slept just great. :)

It is just amazing! Interior of the accommodation is very beautifully arranged, with authentic interior, restored monastery. Super clean. We were in Venere apartment where we had our own kitchen, dining room, bathroom, huge bedroom, private terrace and balcony. The air conditioning is working perfectly, although outside was very hot - we enjoyed great temperatures inside. Breakfast is tasty - Italian style: croissant and local pastries. But you can also bring your own since they have a kitchen, if you prefer something else too. So I would recommend this B&B with all of my heart. Also the staff was friendly and always willing to help us. <3 :)
