Could not have been better
We spent a week here and truly enjoyed it. The location is perfect. Right in the historic district and a two minute walk to the Duomo. The street is quiet (we were there during May). Clarissa, the property manager, quickly responded to any and all questions. She gave great suggestions for restaurants and day trips and can help organize excursions for you (we did our own since we had a car). I saw some reviews complaining about the parking. First, you must understand it is a ZTL so cars are not allowed in (one of the major appeals of visiting and staying in the historic center). Second, on street parking or a secure parking lot are only a few minutes walk away. We had no problems with parking during our entire week stay. We plan to come back here again with another couple to stay.

Lecce at Christmas.
Very nice property in a very good position. Central but quiet. Clarissa and her family were always available when needed. Only thing I would say is that it is not clear that you pay extra for an extra bedroom. I booked the flat for my brother and I because it had two bedrooms. However Clarissa told me that she assumed two people would only need one bedroom. There was a charge of 35 euros a night for the extra room. This is the first time I have experienced this. I don’t think it is clear on booking. Otherwise all very good.

Lecce Experience
The apartment is conveniently located and comfortable. It is an easy walk to many historical sites, restaurants, and shops. Parking is a short walk away and reasonably priced. At times it was challenging to find a parking space particularly on the weekend when parking is free. Clarissa was very helpful with check-in and accommodated us with our late arrival due to flight changes. The kitchen could be better equipped. The pots and pans are in sad condition. Utensils and glassware are minimal. Underneath the kitchen sink there was a strong odor caused by mold. We found the bedrooms to be a bit musty. There are dehumidifiers in the apartment but none them were running. If these issues are addressed, we would consider staying again.

Gorgeous, huge apartment in an amazing location
This place was wonderful! Our host truly couldn't have been kinder- she spoke perfect English and was so happy to offer suggestions and answer any questions about Lecce. The apartment is huge with two separate bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, which is nice for privacy. We loved it here and would stay again. We had a bit of trouble with parking but figured it out, and it was worth it to stay so close to the center of town. Beautiful!

Great experience
This beautiful property is extremely central but in a quiet street. It had all the facilities needed to be able to really enjoy our stay. All the restaurants and attractions of Lecce are within easy walking distance. Clarissa is an excellent host and we would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.

Could be perfect but.....
Lovely large apartment with historical significance but spoilt by a lack of basic necessities. Reviews 2 years ago reported lack of basic kitchen necessities. We were disappointed to find the same and the Hostess has failed to act on these issues. We had to boil water in a cheap saucepan, cooking pans were old and scratched and a serious lack of glassware and basic cooking necessities. Bed linen and towels were thin. The apartment was cold and damp smelling and we were told we couldn't have heating. Clarissa was extremely helpful in checking in and assisting with parking and shopping.

Almost perfect!
My friend and I enjoyed our stay at the Clary Monastery. Architecturally it is a delightful space featuring arched ceilings and spacious rooms. It is a block away from a a main pedestrian arterial that spans the length of the city. Also a block away are restaurants, gourmet take-out and a several store to buy provisions. The property would be ideal for the very hot summer months as it is protected from much sunlight. The space does not offer a washing machine. We washed in the sink and hung our clothes on a line in the very small courtyard. The temp was in the 70's but the courtyard gets little breeze and it took a couple days for our clothes to dry. A laundromat is a 15 minute walk away. The kitchen disappointed. The very few pots and pans are very cheap, and those that are non stick are flaking the coating. Utinsels are sufficient but minimal. I would have appreciated a larger coffee pot. I found salt but there was no pepper or olive oil or herbs for cooking, ingredients I find at all other locations I rent. Just plan ahead and bring what you need if you plan to cook a meal. Parking is convenient, inexpensive and a five minute walk away. My biggest disappointment is choosing an apartment for a stated price and learning the day before checking in that since my other guest did not sleep in the same room that I had to spend an additional 25 euros a night to use a second room. The property is advertised as a multi bedroom property. If the owners invested in some upgraded kitchen apparatus I would stay again.
