Reviews of B&B Malennio

Very close to Al Duomo and all the beautiful squares. Breakfast and accommodations were wonderful. The best part was the host Alessio. Not only did he drive us to the train station, he even drove back to the train station when I forgot my earrings. All rooms on the ground floor which makes it easily accessible.

Nothing

Easy check-in - very informative host. Close to everything in the city center .

Central quiet location # big room

Sheets and towels have seen better days# uncomfortable mattress# toiletries non existent just small satchet# only chair in room broken# better to provide a ticket service to a nearby cafe for breakfast easier for both parties# pick up taxi service late had to phone 3 times

I loved pretty much everything about this unique B&B -the old world Italian decor with the high ceilings, antique furniture, exposed brick, comfortable beds and linens and a modern bathroom with super soft towels! Even the lighting in the room was thoughtful! The breakfast was good enough to start the day. Alessio was a total gem of a sweatheart. I arrived 2 days early but there was no availability at the time,so he found me another wonderful place, B&B Rosellina, which was right around the corner, until I could check in to Malennio. He even brought my luggage over from B&B Rosellina. What a nice surprise after a long day out and about! The only drawback was that this B&B can be a little noisy, because it is old and not soundproof. You can at times hear the other guests, and the breakfast area is right next to the rooms. But oh the charm and location of this place! And ALESSIO! It was totally worth it!! Grazie mille!

It can be noisy but that can't really be helped because it is an old buiding and that's part of its charm.

Alisso and the team were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room was stylish and spotless, and the terrace was a bonus!

I loved everything! Alessio is a marvelous host, which is key. His property is enchanting and makes the visit to Lecce magical. Ground floor rooms actually are a treat after many wonderful properties that did involve stairs. Breakfast is substantial. The property is small enough that it feels like one’s own apartment which again helps to make the visit extremely special. Thank you, Alessio, for your hospitality and availability. I hope to return soon! Buona Fortuna! 🇮🇹☀️

N/A Everything is perfect!

Good location.

Unfortunately we were not quite pleased with the beds, very narrow, rather uncomfortable and creaky. Breakfast, with only sweet things. No fresh bread or cheese.

Quiet central location in Lecce. Nice room for solo traveller, with pleasant outside terrace. Appreciate the tea/coffee available through the day.

Ok breakfast but cakes/fruit a bit stale as left out night before.

The location was perfect -- close to Duomo and the lively main street full of shops and restaurants, but far enough away to be quiet. The breakfast was my favourite part of the stay. An espresso maker that was easy to use with Lavassa pods, plus a milk frother for those cappuccinos. A variety of cakes, pastries, and fruits were generously provided and there were always yogurt, water, and milk in the fridge. Alessio also kindly provided lactose free options for me.

My room didn't have a lot of natural light so a bit more lighting would have been great. The shower door did not close properly and the gap allowed water to leak onto the bathroom floor.

The place has a perfect location in the Old town of Lecce, close to all attractions. Being in an old building, it is charming and authentic, while at the same time having all modern conveniences. Breakfast was quite good, with variety of cakes and some fruits as well. Easy and efficient communication with the owner, smooth check-in and check-out.

It was a bit noisy, one could hear neighbours late in the evening. There were also some construction/renovation (?) works in the adjacent building starting at 7 in the morning. The place was very clean but some mould has started to appear in the shower cabin.

Central area, clean and comfy bed, has AC!

There was a lot of construction nearby at the time, and my room seemed to be double booked? Breakfast was okay.

The place is very atmospheric: old walls, beautiful arches. The host is very helpful and friendly, and is readily available to assist in any way.

The place is below the level of the neighbouring street, so there is not much light. In the bathroom, it is worth replacing the seal in the shower, as it leaks, which is not very comfortable. Breakfast: several kinds of pastries to choose from and fruit, prepared the day before by the host, not all the freshest.

Nice place in a very good location in Lecce. The owner is very friendly. Typical Italian breakfast with good quality coffee and local fruits. Very rustic charm.

My super loud neighbours, that talked for 2 hours on the terrace without taking a breath :)))

The communication with Alessio was excellent. He was a very responsive and helpful host, and let me check my bags in early and leave them for a bit after the checkout as well. The breakfast was great, and the place, spotless. In addition apartment's location is incredible, 3 mins from Porta Napoli.

I was only at the B&B for one night, but it was a lovely, large room with access to a terrace. The owner was super helpful. It was all coordinated through booking.com and whatsapp but everything went very smoothly. I particularly appreciated that the owner arranged a transfer for me to Brindisi airport; he even called the taxi driver while I was in the taxi to make sure the pick-up had gone as planned.

Right next to old Town, nice bathroom and simple but adequate breakfast Baroque town worth the visit.

Noisy construction just outside my window very early morning, lighting in room limited, no CNN or BBC no subtitles for anything on tv. No contact with person.

This was a truly fabulous little BnB - with just 3 rooms - in an old monastery and it retains the original character and stonework . Alessio is a wonderful host - who goes out of his way to make sure he has happy guests . The beds are super comfortable , there are fresh towels and a door which leads into a pretty little garden . There are modern private en-suites and everything needed to make your stay as perfect as possible . He lays on a super breakfast with coffee, tea and fresh cake and pastries and there is lots of information re making your stay in Lecce easy . In terms of location , you can’t beat it. You are surrounded by shops , restaurants , cafes and gelateras and you can walk everywhere . It is also a very close walk to the bus station if you are transporting back to the airport . I loved it and found it wonderfully relaxing . I would rate it as a 3 star . It is traditional Italian , not flash modern but that is what I want nowadays ! Thank you Alessio for your superb & welcoming hospitality .

Nothing!

Location is near Napoli Gate & private parking

Shower door leaks Bed was saggy. Bathroom is small & tight Chair, as additional seating, was broken. Legs are wobbly. Self service breakfast was not great. We did not eat it.
