Hotels Near Idrovora di Frigole in Lecce

I have been traveling solo for over 20 years and this is by far the worse experience I’ve ever had in Italy. Aggressive messaging for a week to know the exact time of my arrival, which I did. On the day of arrival, they proceeded to messaged me again to negotiate my arrival time to suit their needs. I was 1h30 min drive away and they wanted me to arrive an hour earlier than I had told them. Why?! there is nobody when you arrive: the key is in a locked box & they give you the combination. So what was the purpose of all those repeated useless communications? Just to annoy people on vacation I guess! Getting to the location is miserable, the old town is a maze of one ways and the only streets with access were blocked by tables and chairs from nearby coffee shops, and another was blocked by city vehicles. Called the reception to get assistance, but they could neither guide me or send me the directions. I was literally one block away! It’s so ridiculous you get the craziest fluff et of messages from this place, eating up your phone data but not one of these messages was about the precise way to get to the house without getting stuck. Ended up going outside of the old town to park and came back on foot. The room was hot and smelled a bit like a sewer on arrival.

We initially had some hesitation about booking Hotel Arryvo; we were worried it might be a bit too young and lively for two soon to be oldies who value comfort and relative quiet! However, its location and convenient parking swung the decision and we decided to give it a go. From the moment we arrived to a large welcoming smile, from receptionist Federica, we realised we were not going to regret it and, once we'd established that there'd be no music played on the rooftop terrace next to our room, we knew we could look forward to a wonderful stay. The hotel was bright and clean and our room, although a bit small, was nicely furnished and very comfortable. Not sure why we had a blow up guitar, keyboard and microphone but, as I said, we might almost be considered oldies. Breakfast was good and, being served to order rather than by buffet, was always fresh. Tea was available by the pot and was probably the best I've ever tasted outside the UK or Ireland. A real bonus for us English! The bar seemed to be open for drinks - alcoholic or otherwise - anytime we wanted and the staff were unfailingly efficient and very pleasant, attentive and friendly. They coped well with my attempts at speaking Italian but all seemed proficient in English. The location of the hotel was excellent with easy access by car while having a back door that opened directly onto one the many winding pedestrian streets of the old part of the city. Porta Napoli is just a few yards away providing an excellent reference point for when you get lost in the narrow alleys of the old town. Parking was in dedicated space in a car park no more than a couple of minutes walk away. It's hard to find anything negative to say about hotel Arryvo - a kettle in the room might have been nice and, as I've already said, we found the room to be a little on the small side. Maybe a shortage of towel hooks and storage space in the bathroom but I'm really nit-picking now. The biggest plus point was undoubtedly the staff. All were outstanding in their friendly demeanour and willingness to be helpful at all times; those smiles go a long way! All in all we were extremely pleased with our choice of Hotel and won't hesitate to stay there again if and when we return to Lecce.

Beautiful hotel. We couldn’t find fault in anything. Apparently the owner is an artist and the artworks and decor is stunning. Great location in the old town. We stayed in room 103 (octagonal room) and it was beautiful. It was a good large size and very comfortable. The staff are exceptional - friendly, helpful and very pleasant. Breakfast was excellent with a limited choice but more than sufficient. The rooftop garden was a beautiful space, especially at night with the lights. We had a car and their valet parking was very efficient. The only glitch was we needed to leave early but didn’t realize the staff member for parking does not start until 9am. So let reception know if you need the car earlier. As it happened he came in early so we were able to leave early. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is stunning.

Arrived in Lecce hotel to hot rooms, no in room internet, cots in rooms? closed pool and location in middle of no where. Very Late to try to organize a dinner in Lecce (on a Friday night) Hotel food service was disapponting . Limited menu, poor service, unpleasant atmosphere (in a large banquet hall) This hotel was a big disappointment. Too far from the city as we were booked in for three nights as part of a tour package. Hotel tried to tell us that rooms do have wifi internet. Previous reviews on social media say that this hotel has spotty/no Wi-Fi in rooms. Appears to be on going issue. Given it is classed as a conference centre I don't know why they didn't have suitable internet. Throughout our other 3 weeks in Italy it was never a problem. Guests should be informed prior to stay that outdoor pool closes Sept 1st. Would have definitely spent last afternoon at pool if we could. Instead, looked at a green pool through the window. Generally grounds looked a bit overgrown and under managed. Surrounding area around hotel and roads leading into hotel were dirty and unkept.

Abbiamo soggiornato una notte per partire poi per il Cammino del Salento. Ottima struttura, camera doppia con bagno in camera. Struttura vicina sia alla stazione che al centro con una breve camminata, e soprattutto molto comoda per la partenza del Cammino del salento. Il gentilissimo ragazzo alla reception, credo il titolare, ci ha dato delle informazioni molto utili, sul Cammino. Essendo uscite molto presto la mattina (5:30), non abbiamo potuto usufruire della colazione, ma sono presenti all'interno della struttura macchinette a gettoni per caffè ed altre bevande calde, bottigliette di acqua e vari snack.

Una bella struttura, una camera confortevole con letto a castello, molto pulita e con una piccola cabina armadio. La colazione è con the, caffè, yogurt frutta e una sorpresa locale (da assaggiare assolutamente) al piano superiore un bellissimo terrazzo con lettini per il sole o per il relax e un magnifico jacuzzi dove abbiamo fatto uno splendido bagno nel tardo pomeriggio. Una coccola speciale. Da non perdere nelle vicinanze di MARTANO la cattedrale di Galatina e un bagno a Torre Sant’Andrea
