Dimora Charleston Spa Lecce

Dimora Charleston was quite simply the best B&B we’ve stayed in. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome. Although we don’t speak Italian, the lady at check-in was kind and helpful, and it was easy to communicate. She offered us a caffè leccese on arrival, and a gentleman kindly explained it was a local iced coffee with almond milk, served with two delicious homemade jam tarts. As I don’t drink coffee, he brought me a juice instead – a really thoughtful touch. The building is beautiful, full of character, and very well looked after. The lift was a big help with suitcases, and private parking on site was ideal. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had excellent air conditioning. Breakfast was generous and fresh, with homemade cakes and plenty of choice. The lady explained everything and made us feel at home. We also had a lovely chat with an Australian couple, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s in a great location, quiet yet close to everything. We genuinely couldn’t fault our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lecce.

We chose Dimora Charleston based on the reviews. It did not disappoint. The owner Manlio is super gentile and made us feel at home. Dimora Charleston is ideally located near the Biagio gate, and has excellent off street parking. It is close to all the sights. Breakfast is good, served by Delia and Sabin. The room was spotless.

Grazie Manlio for the gracious welcome and attention you and your amazing staff extended to us during our three-night stay at your incredibly beautiful palazzo. The property is a mere few steps away from historic Lecce and is truly palatial. If we were able, we would give this property and experience a 10 star review! GRAZIE MILLE!!

I’ve stayed in a lot of nice places around the world and this place is in my top three. Starting with the host/owner (Mr. Palmieri) who exudes warmth and welcomes you into his property with a level of hospitality and grace that cannot be surpassed. The property itself is absolutely wonderful. A perfect combination of historic beauty with modern conveniences that we are accustomed to in North America. 10 out of 10.

Nice staff. Food was good and location was great. Easy parking.
