Short walking distance to old town. The seperate living space was nice as was the balcony seating space. The owner was extremely helpful with info on the town, daytrip travel, and was there every morning to prepare an exceptional breakfast with so many food and beverage choices. Fresh squeezed OJ was a bonus. Used the secure, underground parking for an additional fee but street parking was available. Would highly recommend.

There was a noise in the bedroom that seemed to originate from the property below. Also, I would recommend a room over a suite as the air conditioning unit is in the living area of the suite rather than the bedroom making it less effective in cooling the bedroom. Small points in an otherwise perfect property.

A lovely spacious room at the doorstep of Lecce. On street parking readily available in front of the property which had large parking bays that could easily accommodate large cars. The host, Massimo, could not have been more attentive and caring - he is thoroughly deserving of the many plaudits that appear in customer feedback.

We had a wonderful time at Massimo’s place. Clean, with great location, very good breakfast. The location is just what you need- close to everything. Massimo, the owner, is a very nice man, who will take care of everything you might need. Highly recommend this place!

Everything! So comfortable , Massimo was very helpful. Everything spotlessly clean. So close to the old city center, we even walked all the way to the train station effortless, an around 20 min very pleasant stroll , even in August heat. Very close to Taranta suites we found this great restaurant “ L’Rome” even though it’s not typical Puglian food ( it’s Roman style) . It was DELICIOUS! The best carbonara ever! Thank you, Massimo for a wonderful stay!

We had a little trouble with the key to parking area but we simply sent a WhatsApp message to the host and it was resolved in minutes!

While the room was slightly smaller than it looked in photos, it was clean, comfortable, and met our needs very well. Everything we wanted to see in the city was in easy walking distance and our host gave us terrific recommendations for day trips and places to eat. Breakfast was lovely - fresh pressed juice and coffee along with local pastries, fabulous italian cheese and salami and a variety of fresh fruits. We would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking.

The owner Massimo's kindness made our trip very special! Aside from the delicious breakfast and clean room, talking to Massimo in the morning made our stay in Puglia so much better. He helped us find the best restaurants, told us about the area, beaches and cultural sights, with his encyclopedic knowledge of the region. He helped us get a fantastic boat tour off the south coast of Santa Maria de Leuca, but most of all, he helped me find a photographer who captured my proposal to my girlfriend! I can't thank him enough! I've done a lot of traveling--this is the kind of place I love to stay. Will definitely be back.

Everything about this place is amazing - the apartment, the location, the breakfast, the old town of Lecce and of course, the owner Massimo - a really kind person, who will definitely make your stay better.

Everything about the location, the property, and most importantly, Massimo, our wonderful host. Massimo came to pick us from the bus station, he gave us plenty of recommendations for food and places to go. He even brought us to an olive farm to buy some real good quality olive oils. Every morning, he would prepare a wonderful breakfast and we would have great conversations together. All in all, Massimo rates as the best host in the history of my travels. Bravo Massimo. We will miss your generous hospitality.

The room looks very similar to what you would expect from an hotel. It is large, very clean, recent and well equiped. You even have a desk that would make it perfectly suitable as a place to work. It is well located at 5 minutes from Lecce historical center. We found a parking at approx. 5mn from here but it may not have been the closest one. Host is nice and attentive. Breakfast is served by him every morning in a dedicated room with good local products and in particular the famous local pastries called "pasticciotti".

We would strongly recommend this place. Everything is perfect. The room and bathroom are super clean. Decor is very nice. The location is excellent close to the Old Town with a supermarket on the corner. A fantastic breakfast complimented the great room.

The bed was a little firmer than I like.

Massimo set a high bar as our host. He generously picked us up and dropped us off at the train station, service well beyond our expectations. He gave us an overview of the City and highlighted things to see and do, and recommended restaurants (providing phone numbers and calling for reservations on our behalf). Our room was exceptionally clean and got natural night. The water temperature and pressure in the shower was excellent and the shower enclosure was very effective at keeping water from getting outside of it. He served still-warm pasticciotti fresh from the bakery, and a fresh ricotta special to Sundays to go along with a variety of other breakfast offerings. And the location, within a few blocks of a the old city and a big garden was ideal.

We didn't know we needed to advise of our precise arrival time and it caused our host to have to wait for us to arrive from train/raxi. Perhaps guests should be advised in advance to connect with the suite/host via WhatsAp the day prior to arrival to confirm arrival time and arrangements to get the key.

The breakfasts were exceptional. The host shopped each morning at local bakery and market to bring fresh baked goods and fruit along with meats and cheeses and freshly squeezed orange juice. The location was also very good - about a short 10 minute walk to the Old Town. The suite was brand new, large and very comfortable.

Nothing — everything was perfect,

Massimo was an exceptional host. He goes out of his way to be available and helpful to his guests. When I inquired about when I should buy bus tickets to Brindisi airport, he set us up with a shuttle that picked us up right there: so much better then dragging our gear across town to the bus station! When I expressed concern that they hadn’t called to confirm, he walked personally to the travel agency to confirm. Honestly, I think if they hadn’t showed, he’d have driven us to the airport himself! (they did, of course, come, and it was an excellent service) Although I do speak some Italian, Massimo’s English is excellent, which is always helpful. Our suite (with balcony, great for sitting with tea or a glass of wine) was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and decorated. Breakfast was ample, including fresh baked goods, fresh fruit, salami, cheeses, coffees, teas, yogurt, etc. The latter few items are available to guests at all times. Taranta Suites is within easy walking distance of anywhere you’d want to visit as a tourist in the beautiful city of Lecce. Highly recommended!

Taranta Suites is the best B&B I ever stayed at, a spacious and very clean room and bathroom, a bottle of wine as welcome. City centre is within 5 minutes walking distance. Mr. Massimo is the very hospitable owner, who provided us with an excellent breakfast with a choice of fresh and local products and even fresh pressed orange juice. Also he gave all kinds of information about Lecce, restaurants etc. At our depart, he even kindly offered to bring us to the trainstation of Lecce! We had an unforgettable time here.

What did we like? Everything. Our host Massimo was super responsive from the very moment we booked our stay. He responded to all of our questions in a timely manner. He met us personally when we arrived, and when he did we saw he was a genuinely kind and helpful man. He helped us with figuring out how to get around, and recommended some walking tours. The room was clean, orderly, and perfect for our needs. WiFi worked without issue. The location is great for access to both the historical and the shopping sides of Lecce. But what was even more wonderful was the breakfast offerings Massimo put out for us. Just too many things to mention - it made us want to move in for good! 😀 The pasticciotto that he offered at breakfast made the one we had at the so called “top pasticciotto” cafe in Lecce taste like a cheap copy. When we had to leave, very early in the morning, Massimo called for our taxi pickup, which was a huge help. I hope there is another time soon for us to return to Lecce. I’d come back just to stay at Taranta Suite.

Massimo the owner of this B and B was the best host we have had throughout Italy. He was so caring & hospitable and he made us feel like we had a old friend in Lecce! The location was perfect! Massimo also helped us navigate our way through Lecce providing us with all the best restaurants, sites and beaches not to miss! Our short 2 night stay was amazing because of all the knowledge he provided us with! Room was super spacious and clean. Breakfast was also lovely. Will recommend to all our family and friends travelling to Lecce! Grazie Mille Adriana & Adamo

A beautifully and tastefully equipped B&B with owners that go the extra mile to spoil their guests. Everything is brand-new and of excellent quality. There's even a daily cleaning service and the maid takes her job seriously. There's not a speck of dust anywhere and the whole place is immaculate. The B&B is basically one big apartment divided into 3 separate and very private guest rooms plus a communal kitchen where breakfast is served and where guests can use the tea and coffee making facilities during the day. The soundproofing is excellent and the rooms are very quiet. We had the junior suite (Suite Lupiae) which even featured a balcony and it was fun to watch the street life below. Another thoughtful aspect is the clothes dryer on the balcony. You don't get that very often. Massimo's breakfast is legendary. Whether it's Italy's best salami (which comes from Parma, not Puglia), cactus fruit, fresh figs or fresh ricotta (still warm) from a special farmers market. It was a wonderful experience and we shall be happy to return.
