Lecce and Otranto hotel recs?

This section is for reviews.

For Lecce:

I took a taxi from the train station to my B&B, Dimora San Giuseppe. It’s located very near to the amplitheater. My deluxe double room was huge! It’s bigger than our bedroom at home and included a side sofa and a French-looking table & chair set. The modern bathroom with a huge shower with lots of gizmos was the nicest one, along with Bari’s on this trip. This definitely wasn’t the tiny Italian shower I’ve received often. The breakfast was very nice with a large assortment of local food. I told the young lady in Italian that I was really going to miss the Puglia delicious passaciotto for breakfast! The last morning when I would be walking to the train after breakfast, she brought one wrapped up in foil as she delivered my espresso to the breakfast table - how sweet of her!

Another fun part about staying at this B&B was meeting a couple from San Diego (originally Wales) who had finished the RS Sicily tour and a 12-person tour in the Puglia region with a couple of days here afterwards. They were having breakfast on the outdoor terrace, and I asked them where they lived. We had a fun conversation, and she even went to their room to bring back their familiar blue & gold guidebook and printed itinerary for a photo of them! : )
