Cloister of the Dominicans, Lecce events

Very tricky review to write. The venue, the staff and the rooms are absolutely 5* quality - spectacular! The issue is that the hotel is also an event venue and 2 out of 4 nights there was wedding disco until midnight. If they can solve that aspect and you can check that won’t impact you during your stay - it is truly an amazing place. The hotel staff is amazing and painfully aware, they did everything in their power to make our stay memorable.

We recently got married here, and the staff, hotel, and restaurant went above and beyond for us and our families. We can’t thank them enough for being such gracious hosts. The moment we met Gabriele at reception, we knew we had to get married at their beautiful and antique hotel. He was there for my families every request, always with a smile, alongside their wonderful hotel staff. Carlo, the event manager, was an integral part of our special day. The months leading up to our wedding, he was available for our every question. There are no words to say thank you. He has a way of understanding just what you need with attention to detail, and constant reassurance. He’s an excellent connection to the town of Lecce, with suggestions for anything from wedding vendors to restaurant suggestions. A wedding is a special moment for a bride and groom, and it felt like it was just as important to Carlo as it was to us, and that is a rare quality in a person. We really trusted him and that working relationship was so important for a wedding abroad. Thank you Chiostro and Carlo for being so professional and making this experience smooth, fun, elegant, and memorable. We’ll miss you guys but we’ll be back!!!

Wow!! We have no words to thank Carlo (event manager) & Gabriele (front of house manager) who absolutely went above and beyond to help organising our wedding held over a few days at this beautiful location. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them & they were extremely efficient. The rooms are super comfortable & modernised whilst retaining the stunning historical details and stone ceilings. We are extremely fussy and we were blown away by all the efforts. They are flexible with all requests & essentially nothing was a ‘no’. I would recommend taking all 18 rooms exclusively if holding a wedding event A for privacy & B because there is no better place to stay in lecce!! Thank you SO much!!
