This property was great for our two couples to stay and explore Lecce. Ideally located close to everything. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and totally enjoyed our stay here. Maria was very helpful and accommodating.
We can’t stay enough about how great this apartment is. The owner was great. The location perfect. Easy walk from the train station and to all the sites. Apartment has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable.
Great little apartment close to center of old town, host Maria Grazie was very helpful. Only slight negative was it lacked a sitting area, it was bedrooms or kitchen , but fantastic overall
This was a lovely apartment centrally located with hosts that were very attentive. Two things to note, there is not a living room but a large kitchen for common space. Also, it can be a little chilly in the apartment when it is raining.

I'm so sorry you were cold, but unfortunately, by law, radiators cannot be turned on in October. As already explained, the Puglia Region allows them to be turned on from mid-November. It's usually not cold in October: the day you arrived, in fact, it was a warm day. I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
We had a wonderful time in Lecce and Maria was a very helpful and gracious host. The apartment was in a great location, with shops, restaurants and historical sites in short walking distance. The apartment itself was also lovely, with all the amenities we needed for our 3 night stay. We would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the nice words. Thank you for your patience for my difficulty in communicating in English
Property was exactly as advertised. Maria was an incredibly gracious host picked us up from the train station (twice). The location is the absolute best in Lecce and we went out most nights. Only thing to note is that only one bedroom has AC. Would definitely stay again!

Thanks for the nice words.
I'm glad you found yourself well.
As for the air conditioning, unfortunately it is a forced choice. It is not possible to put another one, there is no place outside to fix the engine.
Thank you
We had a wonderful time in this historic walled city. The property is ideally located at the heart of everything going on. The property has stunning high arched ceilings. Bedrooms and living areas were as described.

Thank you for the kind words you wrote
I'm glad you enjoyed my home.
Thank you for being attentive and leaving the house perfectly tidy
My friend and I picked Lecce as a base for its history and architectural beauty.
The center is compact and the train station is within walking distance.
The apartment was spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was only 2 of us but it could accommodate 5. We enjoyed its location.
Great location in old town with 3 separate sleeping spaces. (The loft is a twin bed.) We did have an issue with the hot water, but Maria was very responsive and worked hard to resolve the issue.

I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in my house. As for the parking, I am very sorry for the inconvenience. It is a private, guarded parking lot of which I only provide the website link as an aid to those who ask me. I also indicate the link to a municipal parking lot located in Viale dell'Università, near Porta Rudiae, which has different costs but has the problem of having a smaller number of parking spaces and is not guarded.
Thanks anyway for the information, I will try to be clearer next time
Pros: Right in the heart of the historic city center You can walk to cafes, stores, restaurants in minutes Stays cool inside Hosts were kind and responsive Cons: The photos were beautifully staged, wasn't quite as cozy as expected WiFi is spotty No real communal space other than the kitchen table Overall very functional
We had a wonderful stay in Lecce. The city is beautiful and the location is very central. The house was very clean and nicer than the pictures. The rooms are beautiful and everything worked well. Maria was very helpful and communicative- thank you for making feel at home!
As a note when staying in the old city: parking will be a little distant, so expect to walk about 10 minutes.

A time to remember
Owner (who lives next door) was extremely helpful. He went out of his way to our stay was seamless
The apartment worked well for the four of us. Kitchen was well equipped beds comfortable.
The position could not have been better, close to the action, including the morning coffee, yet quiet.
We would love to return
The apartment was immaculate with every thing you will need to relax and e joy beautiful Lecce and the surrounding cities. We did buy and leave a larger espresso maker 🤗. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating! We will return!

Thanks for the nice words and above all thanks to you for your patience with my English. Soon
We had a great stay in Lecce. The Apartment is centrally located, a 2 minute walk from the old town and main piazza. It was well appointed, the hosts friendly and attentive, and had everything we needed. When we couldn't find a bread-board, Maria purchased one that same day and dropped it off. Nothing was too much trouble. Lecce was lovely and the apartment was very easy to live in for a short stay. Would thoroughly recommend it.
Excellent communication, well equipped, great location. Would recommend.
Only thing was lack of comfy seating area. When relaxing between exorong Lecce and then going out in the evening had to sit on bed. Outside area small and in shade which is good in Sumner but we visited in April. the area with a small bed on floor could be changes to having a small sofa to sit on.
