Arthotel & Park Lecce

This hotel is ideal if you have a car and are happy to stay outside the city. It's in the middle of nowhere and the surroundings are a bit bleak. The hotel itself is great. Plenty of parking available. The room was great. I had a couple of complaints - the first is that there is only one power socket in the whole room, which wasn't enough for me. The second is that the shower leaks and you end up with water everywhere in the bathroom, but it's a minor point. They do provide slippers. The shower could do with some upgrading in general. But apart from this, it was a lovely place. The pool is perfect. Surrounded by greenery, very decent size and depth, with an ideal shallow part for children or just to laze in. There's a bar next to the pool. Unfortunately they had run out of food by the time I got there, but that was just my bad luck. Oh, and you have to pay to use a sunbed/towel, which I thought was unfair and unnecessary in a hotel. Breakfast was good, varied and plentiful. The staff were friendly and helpful.
