Great location in Lecce and excellent communication and recommendations from the host. No parking outside of the apartment but there is parking within a 10 minute walk, host was helpful to ensure we found parking. Suggest to add a full length mirror. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Short break in Lecce

Ideally situated in the middle of the historic centre. Charms relating to old property but all sufficient for a short stay.

Stayed in the beautiful Centro Historico part of Lecce, beautiful baroque Bldgs, great restaurants, shops and night life! Excellent location, far enough from the night life to get a good nights sleep, but close enough to walk and enjoy. If you are renting a car and staying in the Historic center, use the easy park app to find places to park as you are not allowed to drive into the center. House was beautiful!

Fantastic apartment, terrific location and amazing host!

We had a fabulous stay in Lecce! Andrea is an incredible host including picking us up at the airport, helping us with our luggage, making suggestions for restaurants & day trips and even jumping in when I had a dental issue!! The apartment is incredibly well located. It is has a lot of space and is true to the VRBO pictures! It is a very convenient location for days trips to the south like Otranto and Gallipoli! We would definitely recommend and we would stay here again!!!!

Beautiful apartment in the old town of Lecce

This apartment is wonderful in every way - it is located in a great location in the charming old town of Lecce, it has beautiful high cathedral ceilings and large windows, a spacious roof deck overlooking the city, a washer-dryer, and air-conditioning. The property manager, Andrea, was also highly responsive, knowledgeable about the city, and very kind. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

This quaint property is in the perfect location if you want to explore the historic city of Lecce. We especially loved being able to wander the beautiful city streets at night which were full of restaurants, shops and people. However, this property is off the beaten path so it was nice and quiet for sleeping. The property is quite spacious and we felt right at home. My daughter enjoyed the cats that lived next door too.

From North Carolina, US

The apartment is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood minutes from everything you would want to walk to see. Communication with the owner was very easy and extremely helpful to answer questions about the area, restaurants, history, arraging parking close to lodging. Lecce was our base to visit Gallopli and Otronto. A day in each city worked well for us.

A good property with spaciousness. The door sticks and the lock is difficult to work and could use some attention.

adorable accommodation in the heart of leave historic center

the accommodation was gorgeous. the upstairs bedroom extremely grand but there was a lot of noise coming from the street, both pedestrians and construction that made for difficulty sleeping. the downstairs accommodation had no noise as it is secluded from the street. it was a little tricky finding the place but there were helpful locals and our host which guided us to the property. it was incredible to be in the heart of the historic center, highly recommend.

A cozy apartment in heart of Lecce

We are a small Dutch family living in Rome. We came to Lecce, for a long weekend at the end of October, beginning November 2022. The apartment is in a quiet and perfect location in the heart of historical center, close to all monuments and restaurants. Our host, Andrea , was very kind and and gave recommendations for restaurants etc. We could check in late and everything was well prepared in the apartment. We loved our trip in Puglia and would definitely come back.

This House is SPECTACULAR!

This is the most perfect rental you will find in Lecce. It's located in the most beautiful part of town (historic district); you can walk to everything you need; the street itself is absolutely charming. And the house! I cannot overstate how exquisitely beautiful it is. The kitchen is small but perfectly functional and well stocked. I cooked several meals comfortably. The host, Andrea, is amazing. He responds immediately and is gracious and helpful and just all around lovely. We have been traveling around Italy and Sicily for a month and have stayed at several beautiful homes, but this one is by far our favorite.
