Le Nicchie Luxury Rooms

The room was spotlessly clean and incredibly well appointed with large bathroom with jacuzzi bath and rain shower and really romantically lit. Coffee machine was welcome and the room felt fully luxurious with electronic blinds. Light and airy in the day and cozy at night. There is also a sofa bed which is useful should your partner be a snorer (like me haha). The main selling point of this hotel, however, is Aldo the host. On a par with the best communication I have had prior to and during a stay. Answers queries within minutes and always on hand to offer help and suggestions. It is a smaller place than I thought and we had the place to ourselves in early October, which felt very special. Parking is easy in a nearby guarded car park as Lecce old town is pedestrianised. It was €22.50 for 3 days and you can come and go as you please, to enjoy the coast also. Around 30 to 40 mins drive in each direction. Though you will definitely want to explore Lecce, which is a charming place with lots of hidden streets and great architecture. Breakfast was lovely and served on the roof terrace. Plenty of choice and always served with a smile. I didn't request this, but Aldo knew it was my partner's birthday on leaving day and brought some bubbly with the breakfast. Touches like that make this 5 star treatment, and great value too! Just book. You won't be disappointed.

Aldo was an excellent host from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. He was very helpful with good tips and even helped us take our luggage back to the parking lot just outside of the historic center. The room, through a fault of our own, was too small, but the other two are larger. An ample free-choice breakfast was available on the roof terrace. The location within the historic center is excellent. Free coffee capsules and cold water was available. The wifi was good, though not on the roof.
