Il Garbino Suite and Apartment

Perfect location, excellent hosting, easy instructions and Alberto was lovely to deal with. The property was just what we wanted, spotlessly clean and everything we needed in the property.

All was perfect

The host kept in touch throughout to ensure that we had everything we needed, gave recommendations and offered to book restaurants if we wished. The apartment was spacious and comfortable.

The location is perfect, in the old town but not too close. It was so easy to walk around and then find home. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Alberto our host was great. He was quick to reply to communication, he recommended great places to eat and drink and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Nothing

Good location, good communication.

Slightly disappointing due to various reasons. 1) check in from 14:00 advertised, however Alberto contacted us asking us what time we wanted to check in, and stated that we could only check in from 16:00 due to the cleaner. Do not advertise it as earlier if it’s not possible. 2) photos are misleading, perhaps advertise the studio and apartments completely separately on booking.com rather than two options under the same post. First 15 or so photos are from the 2-bed apartment. Difficult to initially see which apartment is which before delving deeper when selecting accommodation. Granted we could have researched further, however I just feel the fact that it’s hidden is a bit cheeky and deceptive. 3) fridge not turned on/working. We only noticed this upon leaving having put some food in there the day before and realising it wasn’t cold. 4) three-quarter bed - not advertised. 5) asked by Alberto leave 10/10 review due to Covid impacting business. Not a fan of being asked this when there were some inconsistencies between advertised accommodation vs. actual accommodation. Makes me believe that other reviews are bias since he asks for 10/10, rather than leaving the reviewing down to the customer. Overall, I would not recommend staying here. Much better choices in Lecce where you’re not lied to.
