Emilia's place is fabulous. It was was perfect for my husband and I to use as a base to explore Lecce and surroundings. The rooftop garden terrace is sublime and perfect to chill out and relax in when we wanted to, a small oasis in the heart of the town. We actually spent most evenings in the garden terrace getting a birds eye view of the square below and seeing all the evenings activities going on below. The square below got a bit noisy as the evenings wore on but that did not disturb us, we just closed the windows to shut out the noise and got a good nights sleep. The apartment is very well equipped, so fending for ourselves when we had decided not to eat out was easily done. Emillia's place is in a perfect location, very central, we just had to walk down the stairs and everything was there to experience in Lecce. We would highly recommend Emillias' place to our friends and anyone wanting to stay in the Centro Historico of Lecce.
