A good week in a REAL BnB! Not a fortified door with 3 or 4 key boxes that open with a code! NO. Laura is an outstanding hostess. She is the one who renovated this very beautiful place (18th century) with taste and thinking about the comfort of her guests. Everything is done for comfort: the living room full of beautiful art books, four-poster bed with a 5-star mattress, sparkling clean bathroom. This week was enriched by all the exchanges we had with our hostess who knows her city and region so well! Highly recommended!

The answer from the host:
Merci Catherine, pour vos aimables paroles ! Je crois qu'ouvrir sa porte pour recevoir des invités est une expérience merveilleuse.... quand arrivent des gens aussi gentils, bien élevés et intéressants que vous et André... alors le plaisir est vraiment immense ! Merci pour ce que vous dites et pour votre présence dans ma maison, respectueuse du lieu et actrice du quotidien In via G. Paladini at 33 ! Je suis sûr que nous ne nous perdrons pas... bonne vie à vous !

Laura is a very kind person who speaks French well and wants to practice it. She gave us many useful recommendations and was available by message whenever needed. A good stay at Malìa B&B!

The answer from the host:
Merci Julie ! J'ai été très heureuse de vous rencontrer, vous et Stéphane. Votre séjour a été court, mais je garderai toujours un bon souvenir de vous. J'espère qu'entre la Malìa et l'endroit où vous vous trouvez dans le bas Salento, vous nous avez donné un bon aperçu de ce qu'est notre terre ! Je vous souhaite beaucoup de plaisir !

Excellent accommodation in an ancient building, right in the city center and only a 5-minute walk from the train station. Good breakfast at a café nearby starting at 8:30. Being in an ancient building, the room stays cool even though there is no air conditioning system. A bit noisy at night as it's located on a street with many bars, but it's probably unavoidable given the location in the pedestrian area of the center. Very courteous and helpful host.

We had a great time in La Malia. The bedroom was large and well equipped. Very close to the Cathedral so very central. Can be noisy at night as near several bars.

The B&B managed by Laura, an architect from Lecce, is located in a strategic position, just a few minutes' walk from Piazza del Duomo. The room where I stayed is simply enchanting, very spacious and tastefully furnished; to be honest, the whole apartment is a gem: very high ceilings, art books everywhere, classic furniture perfectly in line with the architecture, not only of the building but of the entire city. The private bathroom is large and equipped with all comforts; impeccable order and cleanliness. Despite my room overlooking a very busy street in the beautiful historic center, thick walls, an anteroom before the bedroom, and shutters and window shutters ensure good sound insulation. A tip: if you have the opportunity, try to get to know and converse with Laura, a caring person, always ready to meet your requests for help and endowed with great culture. The breakfast, in an affiliated bar downstairs, is frugal but tasty, and the fig jam is a must. In essence, I recommend, without hesitation, staying at this property capable of encapsulating the qualities typical of the city of Lecce: art, beauty, and elegance. Ps: there is no TV in the room but it can be a benefit!

The answer from the host:
grazie Alessandro! Le tue parole mi emozionano.. mi fa piacere che, tutta la cura che metto, insieme all’attenzione che cerco di avere verso i miei ospiti siano apprezzate! Non é poi scontato che con chiunque nasca la voglia e la curiosità di conoscersi.. questo riguarda più l’empatia che si genera appena apro la porta del mio appartamento, tra due sconosciuti che in forza di una sorta di affinità elettiva si aprano l’un l’altro! Quando ciò accade, nasce spesso una nuova preziosa amicizia!

We appreciated everything about this stay, but Laura contributed to raise the perfection even more: helpful, attentive to every detail, a great sensitivity that is revealed in all the details. We just add that the collection of art books, design, photography, graphic... would deserve a separate vacation, to fully enjoy it!

The answer from the host:
Ti ringrazio Valentina per le belle parole che scrivi. Apro la casa in cui vivo a persone che arrivano da tutto il mondo. Questa é un’esperienza elettrizzante, in alcuni casi.. Lo é stato ospitare te e Sebastiano. Constatare come abbiate apprezzato il mio spazio di vita, con tutte le mie cose che di esso fanno parte e, come ne abbiate avuto cura ed interesse, mi emoziona. É un altro modo di viaggiare... apro la porta del mio appartamento e in un attimo l’empatia che si crea con alcuni ospiti é l’inizio di una straordinaria amicizia! É stato bello avervi... avere voglia di cercarvi per suggerirvi, per consigliarvi e conoscervi. Sono io che ringrazio voi! A presto

Laura is a wonderful host and extremely caring and knowledgeable about the area, she responds and comments on any questions about the vicinity, places to see, things to try, and eat. The breakfast facility didn't have what was promised, adding that it is an external facility and has nothing to do with Malìa B&B's level of excellent hospitality.

The answer from the host:
Thanks Vahid, you are very kind. I am so sorry for what you wrote about breakfast, but unfortunately I have recommended myself so many times with the manager of the caffè that at this point I will agree to change location. I wish you the best. See you soon.

Wonderful stay in this beautiful building. Laura is a charming and very helpful host. Only slight downside is it can be noisy because of its very central location but overall we were extremely happy with our stay here and would recommend it.

We stayed at Malìa B&B and we had a really great time: the location is perfect, in a beautiful and typical building in the heart of Lecce. The room is huge, very well decorated, super clean and cosy. We really enjoyed our stay at Malìa B&B, Laura is a wonderful host and makes you feel like a local: she gave us a very warm welcome and a lot of tips for delicious local restaurants and places to go. Many thanks Laura!
